I'm thinking of writing a book that explains national security concepts in the context of parenting. Chapters ideas like...
Toddlers: negotiating with terrorists
You're pushing your luck! Incrementalist strategies
Ok, which of you broke the vase? The attribution problem
Eyes in the back of my head: intelligence gathering
I'm going to count to three! Deterrence and Compellance
Time out! Ceasefires, truces, and negotiated peace
Ok, let's talk: diplomacy
Headed to school: development policy
Diaper bags: military readiness
Ok, that's what I have right now. Suggestions welcome! ;-)
Did your mother already say no? Alliances and decoupling.
Calling Child Services: International law and the Responsibility to Protect.
Never forget that they'll pick your nursing home: hegemonic transitions

Two things necessary for responsible coverage of the #IranDeal today:

First: Pressing the president and his team on WHY break the agreement now? What about it, *specifically,* is a problem?

If the answer is "it's not permanent," then why not extend it, rather than kill it? 1//
If the answer is about missiles or other bad behavior, then "how does leaving the deal make [that thing] any better?" Ex, "Couldn't they build a bomb to put on those missiles now?" or "Isn't it harder to stop their destabilizing behavior if they have a nuke?" 2/?
It's rather transparent that the arguments *for breaking our word aren't any good. There are credible arguments that the deal is imperfect, but none that the world WITHOUT the deal is better than the world WITH the deal. Leaving doesn't make anything better. 3/?

0 This presentation embeds securitisation theory in relevant constitutive elements of poststructuralism. It examines the role of identity and representation in the (re)construction of power and security in the context of migration. #WIISTOTC #Constructivism #Deconstruction
1 Poststructuralism (PS) has reclaimed its relevance in the prevailing turbulent global order. While PS has attracted some criticisms, some of its elements are applicable in the context of populism, migration, terrorism, “post-truth” politics & technological advances. #WIISTOTC
2 Poststructuralism disrupts conventional norms where realities, meanings and symbols exist to be discovered. It informs the examination of representations and their influence in the production of knowledge, identities, power and ensuing actions. #WIISTOTC #Constructivism

My co-author & I have so much fun. I never would have imagined co-authoring to be such a delight, but it is! I love writing on my own, but collaborative thinking & writing is such an invigorating experience. We produce work that’s better than what we could have done individually.
I wish co-authoring was more accepted in the humanities. We’re both pre-tenure & know that to get tenure we have to still both produce independent work & publish our co-authored material in the highest rank journals we can manage in order to be taken seriously by our institutions
I hope that gaining tenure means I can do more collaborative thinking & writing in the future.

#National Security & The #BokoHaram Insurgency: On The Most Pressing Challenges Currently Facing The @HQNigerianArmy's Operations
@HQNigerianArmy 1. None to the exclusion of the other, the operations are as intensely dogged by issues which stem from the human factor ( MANPOWER) as they are majorly constrained by issues of logistics and ewuipment (MATERIEL)
@HQNigerianArmy We shall xray the storied human factor subsequently but let us begin from the area of materiel where we shall be making some revelations that are as in-depth as they are unprecedented...never been broached with such specificty

Does everyone understand what is happening? There is a violent insurgency underway, foreign military operatives are waging WAR on #WethePeople from within our borders. We are in a state of Martial Law & the U.S. Military is going to take action against those "protesting." #QAnon
Those "protesting" are NOT protected by #1A because they are VIOLENT, often being paid, & are acting as agitators on behalf of a foreign enemy of the USA. This is SEDITION & TREASON. These rioting mobs are made up of #EnemyCombatant #AmericanTerrorists who will be going to GITMO.
#NewQ Link #1: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martial_l…

#QAnon #theGreatAwakening #WWG1WGA #TheStorm is definitely upon us now

Accessible introductory information (as it sticks closely to the #PrimarySource, the #Senate's #CIA #TortureReport):

" Read the Senate’s executive summary of the CIA torture report
The report found that the methods used by the CIA were more brutal than the agency acknowledged either to Bush administration officials or to the public. "
