On February 15, Forward Defense nonresident senior fellow Marc Polymeropoulos was quoted in a New York Times article titled “U.S. intelligence agencies face crucial test in deciphering Putin’s motives”. Polymeropoulos spoke on the role and limits of US intelligence agencies, which can provide warning—but not necessarily predictions—on Russian movements.

Forward Defense leads the Atlantic Council’s US and global defense programming, developing actionable recommendations for the United States and its allies and partners to compete, innovate, and navigate the rapidly evolving character of warfare. Through its work on US defense policy and force design, the military applications of advanced technology, space security, strategic deterrence, and defense industrial revitalization, it informs the strategies, policies, and capabilities that the United States will need to deter, and, if necessary, prevail in major-power conflict.
