I am late to today's #OttawaConference as I had class and now I can't seem to get in. Sorry to miss @sekreps and @SheenaGreitens. Hopefully I will be able to get into the event for @MercedesGlobal 's panel.
@sekreps @SheenaGreitens @MercedesGlobal Glad to get access and see @sekreps argue against fighting the last war, that we should not apply old lessons. And be wary of giving private sector much of the responsibility to deal with tech threats.
#OttawaConference day 2 2/x
@sekreps @SheenaGreitens @MercedesGlobal SPNET's Kash Khorasani goes next and presents a lot of info that I can't summarize quickly here (I am still in post-class zoom fog).

In between sessions, I guest lectured in @WAndyKnight1 's global governance class to talk NATO stuff. The sharp student asked a lot of great questions. Nice to have them push me to think about stuff.
@WAndyKnight1 Hyten talks about the need for relationships.... once again military folks sounding like Oprah, but the dark side is: better to fight on someone else's territory

@WAndyKnight1 Hyten talks about China's weapons programs as threat to US, inferring that they are up to something.
BUT to be fair, Security Dilemma--maybe China wants a Triad to provide itself some security?

Oh my, what has happened on Wuhan? this has taken a turn

I spending the next few days attending @CDAInstitute 's big Ottawa Conference on Security and Defence. A terrific program this year! I would love to see it in person but don't mind not having to dodge traffic to find parking near the Chateau Laurier. 1/x
@CDAInstitute I will live tweet on and off, depending on my ability to focus (the joy of zoom). I am especially looking forward to @sekreps, @SheenaGreitens and the other Brookings hotshots. Among the other highlights will be Jean Charest, who is a better speaker than most, 2/x
@CDAInstitute @sekreps @SheenaGreitens the Aussie Chief of Defence, as Aussies tend to be more blunt than other folks.

I wonder what @DMDND_SMMDN Jody Thomas will say and be asked as the Vance/McDonald/Sajjan stuff is hanging over all of this. LtG Eyre had to replace McDonald as speaker. 3/x
