					<description><![CDATA[<p>US National Security Advisor Mike Waltz, who started the now-infamous group chat coordinating a US attack against the Yemen-based Houthis on March 15, is seemingly now suggesting that the secure messaging service Signal has security vulnerabilities.</p>
<p>"I didn’t see this loser in the group," Waltz <a href="https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-admins-shifting-explanations-journalist-added-signal-chat/story?id=120179649">told</a> Fox News about <em>Atlantic</em> editor in chief Jeffrey Goldberg, whom Waltz <a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/03/trump-administration-accidentally-texted-me-its-war-plans/682151/">invited</a> to the chat. "Whether he did it deliberately or it happened in some other technical mean, is something we’re trying to figure out."</p>
<p>Waltz’s implication that Goldberg may have hacked his way in was followed by a ...</p>]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Fascinating <a href="https://warontherocks.com/2024/03/drones-the-air-littoral-and-the-looming-irrelevance-of-the-u-s-air-force/">analysis</a> of the use of drones on a modern battlefield—that is, Ukraine—and the inability of the US Air Force to react to this change.</p>
<blockquote><p>The F-35A certainly remains an important platform for high-intensity conventional warfare. But the Air Force is planning to buy 1,763 of the aircraft, which will remain in service through the year 2070. These jets, which are wholly unsuited for countering proliferated low-cost enemy drones in the air littoral, present <i>enormous</i> opportunity costs for the service as a whole.

<blockquote><p>The introductory report in a DoD microelectronics series outlines the process for determining levels of hardware assurance for systems and custom microelectronic components, which include application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) and other devices containing reprogrammable digital logic.</p>
<p>The levels of hardware assurance are determined by the national impact caused by failure or subversion of the top-level system and the criticality of the component to that top-level system. The guidance helps programs acquire a better understanding of their system and components so that they can effectively mitigate against threats...</p></blockquote>]]></description>
