\"U.S.<\/a>As the military modernisation the Asia Pacific continues, Taiwan<\/strong> is now looking at whether it can build its own submarine fleet<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve seen the movie Argo<\/a>\u2014the<\/em> Hollywood version of the rescue of six US diplomats<\/a> by the CIA<\/strong> and Canadian government\u2014here\u2019s the memoirs of CIA agent Tony Mendez<\/a> (Ben Affleck’s character) (PDF) on how things really went down.<\/p>\n

In the 21st century security corner for this week: An update on the PLA\u2019s UAV program<\/a>\u00a0(PDF) from Project 2049, Study on Chinese UAVs<\/strong>, and CSIS\u2019 Peter Singer looks at the growth<\/a> in capabilities like drones and cyber<\/strong>, and says that Obama needs to take a greater role in articulating norms for their use.<\/p>\n

From CSIS we have a report<\/a> on the nuclear aspect of Sino-US relations<\/strong>. The dynamic, they say, is stable for the moment, but the US will need to accept a Chinese minimum deterrent to keep it that way.<\/p>\n

To mark a decade since the Iraq War<\/strong>, Foreign Policy<\/em> have published a photoessay<\/a> that looks at an operations journal of a young American lieutenant. The photos and entries depict his perspective of a post-9\/11 America and his deployment in Iraq (warning: it\u2019s grittier than most links we suggest).<\/p>\n
