- Book Review: How America’s Consular Service Gets Smart! A Review of
the Quiet, the Good, and the Ugly Americans
Authors: Dave Maxwell
Abstract: Book Review: How America’s Consular Service Gets Smart! A Review of the Quiet, the Good, and the Ugly AmericansDave MaxwellThu, 06/30/2022 - 12:33pm I started this essay as a review about two recent books, Robert Kaplan’s (2021), The Good American: The Epic Life of Bob Gersony, the U.S. Government's Greatest Humanitarian, and Scott Anderson (2020), The Quiet Americans: Four CIA spies at the dawn of the Cold War—A Tragedy in Three parts. When I first picked the books up, I expected irony, and perhaps satire, just like two novels published in the 1950s which had roughly the same titles: The Quiet American by Graham Greene, and The Ugly American by Eugene Burdick and William Lederer. Both of these earlier books anticipated the catastrophes emerging from America’s diplomatic-military complex, first in first Vietnam (1975), and later in Afghanistan (2021). Both 1950s novels are savage satires of American naivete. The basic critique of both older books is that the flawed assumptions of American exceptionalism is doomed to fail wherever it is tried.

- Turkey and the War in Ukraine: An Opportunity to Unify NATO’s
southern flank
Authors: Dave Maxwell
Abstract: Turkey and the War in Ukraine: An Opportunity to Unify NATO’s southern flankDave MaxwellThu, 06/30/2022 - 10:39am The conflict in Ukraine could be a catalyst for reducing tensions between Turkey, NATO, and the EU in the Eastern Mediterranean. As Russian President Vladimir Putin displays the full range of his aggression and violence in Ukraine, Ankara may be ready to cooperate more fully with her NATO allies and EU partners as Russia becomes a more unstable actor and partner in the region. While certain economic realities may restrain the options available to Turkey, there may be no better time for NATO and the EU to convince Turkey that prosperity in the Eastern Mediterranean is best made with the West, provided NATO and the EU make it worth the while for Turkey.

- A New DIME Approach to Policy for Iran and China
Authors: Dave Maxwell
Abstract: A New DIME Approach to Policy for Iran and ChinaDave MaxwellWed, 06/29/2022 - 8:08pm The role of any foreign policy, regardless of political leanings, should always focus first on the preservation of the national security of the United States. The central sticking points for politicians, government bureaucrats, and planners are what topics rise to the level of national security concerns' Policymakers have claimed national security extends to international terrorism threats, climate change, or ensuring lasting global democracy in the face of authoritarianism. While all reasonable, a common policy concern/goal is the pursuit of economic prosperity and the continued status of the U.S. as the global economic leader. Economies are broad, touch every aspect of society, politics, and foreign policy, especially in Washington. The driver of global economy and commerce is energy; either solar, wind, fossils fuels, commerce, and by extension, world economies grind to a haul without it. Outside regional terrorism and proxy/sectarian wars, energy is the reason Iran is still relevant in U.S. foreign policy circles. Policy effects regarding the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) must weigh risks to global shipping commerce, threats to gulf allies (themselves involved in energy exports and affairs), the proliferation of weapons and destabilizing governments, and the wider role energy plays in the newest global power struggle between the U.S. and China.

- Ukraine: Think Deep Attacks Against Russian Logistics
Authors: Dave Maxwell
Abstract: Ukraine: Think Deep Attacks Against Russian LogisticsDave MaxwellTue, 06/28/2022 - 10:55am The current state of the Ukraine-Russian war has fallen into a see-saw struggle for small territorial gains, much like the War in Korea in 1952-53. While the Ukrainians are now beefing up their capability for offensive naval operations in the Black Sea, as recommended in these pages months ago, those actions against the vulnerable Russian littoral left flank have yet to occur. With those naval operations presumably soon at hand, the Ukrainians might be well advised to begin attacking the Russian war effort’s other great vulnerability: Logistics. Specifically, the Russian Rail System, and the command and control structure of the Russian Army’s Material Technical Support Brigades.

- Drug Networks and Weak States: Infrastructural Capacity and Transnational
Power in Central America’s “Northern Triangle”
Authors: ZFTWARNING
Abstract: Drug Networks and Weak States: Infrastructural Capacity and Transnational Power in Central America’s “Northern Triangle”ZFTWARNINGMon, 06/27/2022 - 4:49pm Transnational drug networks have posed a fundamental challenge to the political systems of El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras in the 21st century. These “Northern Triangle” nations of Central America were among the most violent in the world in the early 2010s, and their governments have struggled to exert even the most basic kinds of political authority as they have been caught up in the global drug trade. This article analyzes how these conditions came about, their impact on these nations, and how vulnerable national governments have responded in recent years to the challenges posed by transnational drug networks. It does so in the context of the capacity of Northern Triangle governments to confront the power of transnational drug networks, with reference to the concept of “state infrastructural capacity.” The article employs this concept to describe the drug networks’ usurpation of basic national government functions in recent decades. And it assesses recent attempts by these national governments, often in collaboration with outside forces, to cope with and challenge the power of transnational drug networks in this same theoretical context. The larger conclusion points to shocking cases of transnational drug network power, but also significant and unexpected efforts by seemingly powerless national governments to counter it.

- Experimental Wargaming at the Tactical Level: An Example
Authors: Dave Maxwell
Abstract: Experimental Wargaming at the Tactical Level: An ExampleDave MaxwellWed, 06/22/2022 - 8:10pm Examples of wargaming at the tactical level are scarce in the military literature and army manuals (Hodge, 2012). Courses of action are tested at the strategic and operational level using a paradigm based on a three-legged stool for “What If” analysis: computer simulation, experimentation, and wargaming. The legs of the stool represent different approaches to What If analysis that are useful in different situations. Unfortunately, this paradigm might become limiting as the legs turn into silos. The purpose of this paper is to demonstrate that tactical wargaming is feasible by crossing the barriers between simulation, wargaming and experimentation. Fair warning: this demonstration involves dice despite objections to their use in military wargaming.

- Looking for a Lifeline in the Middle East - Foreign Policy Missteps Have
Blighted the Credibility of the United States
Authors: Dave Maxwell
Abstract: Looking for a Lifeline in the Middle East - Foreign Policy Missteps Have Blighted the Credibility of the United States Dave MaxwellTue, 06/21/2022 - 3:32pm The projection of American power and influence in the Middle East is fraught with peril and has proven to be expensive in American blood and capital. Since the onset of the 19th Century, America has maintained an uninspiring understanding of the Middle East, guided by an erratic and often anemic foreign policy. Today the United States and the Middle East have become emblematic of the vast geographic distance between them. These include disputes between the Palestinians and Israelis, Saudi Arabia and Iran, Syria and the Kurds, Turkey, and the Kurds, and even the Kurds versus the Kurds.1 U.S. interest in the Middle East can be traced to the early years of the American Republic; the region has been a principal focus of U.S. foreign policy since World War II. The onset of the Industrial Revolution, oil investments, unrest, and the 1948 special U.S. relationship with Israel have become the chief reasons for continued U.S. involvement in the region.
