Strategy positions

Military primacyendorses

National security framing; AI as a strategic weapon

Argues U.S. and allied defense must integrate AI rapidly to deter authoritarian use; sees commercial-defense fusion as a strategic imperative.

If you believe, as I do, that the West has a moral obligation to lead in critical technologies, then defense AI is not optional. It is part of the deal of being a free society.
