• NATO and Putin’s Bad Assumptions

  February 28, 2022

  Gen. Philip Breedlove, distinguished professor of the practice in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, was interviewed for the piece, 'NATO and Putin’s Bad Assumptions', posted February 28, 2022 on The Cipher Brief.

  An excerpt:

  General Breedlove:  It’s an interesting time to be watching this and ‘watching’ is a word that bothers me. Ukraine is fighting for freedom, and the west is ‘watching’. Russia has encountered much stiffer resistance than they expected. Rumors are that there is unhappiness in the Kremlin right now, and that resistance is going to cause problems for the Russian President. If you’re expecting to be able to move in and quickly take something, and you have to struggle to do that, you begin to use those supplies that you have on hand, and as you move forward, your logistics trail lengthens and it becomes harder to protect.

• Former NATO Commander: ‘Is the West Going to Tolerate Russia Doing This to Ukraine?’

  February 27, 2022

  Gen. Philip Breedlove, distinguished professor of the practice in the Sam Nunn School of International Affairs, was interviewed for the piece, 'Former NATO Commander: ‘Is the West Going to Tolerate Russia Doing This to Ukraine?’', posted February 27, 2022 on ForeignPolicy.com.

  An excerpt:

  I don’t want to say I’m alarmed because as I said, I expected this. His forces have disappointed him. His advisors and commanders, I think, promised him a quick win. And the Ukrainians are fighting very hard, and they didn’t get the quick win. And now, Putin sees things that he didn’t want to have happened. NATO’s becoming more coalesced and stronger in the last 24 hours. Strong statements out of Germany and out of France and other things. All the things he didn’t want to have happened are now happening because of this absolutely ludicrous story of what he’s doing in Ukraine.

• The Giant Plan to Track Diversity in Research Journals

  Cassidy Sugimoto, a professor and the Tom and Marie Patton School Chair in the School of Public Policy, was interviewed for the article, 'The Giant Plan to Track Diversity in Research Journals', posted on February 23, 2022 on Nature.

  An excerpt:

  Still, Cassidy Sugimoto, an information scientist at the Georgia Institute of Technology in Atlanta who worked on that study, says computational methods are largely incapable of addressing the most pressing questions about racial diversity and inclusion in science. This is because ethnicity is only loosely associated with family name (most obviously in the case of surname changes after marriage), and has many more dimensions than gender. “Race and ethnicity classification is infinitely more complicated than gender disambiguation,” she says.
