Polymeropoulos in Belfer Center on Havana Syndrome

By Atlantic Council

On November 4, the Harvard Kennedy School’s Belfer Center for Science and International Affairs published a report based on a discussion between Forward Defense nonresident senior fellow Marc Polymeropoulos and Adam Entous of the New Yorker. The report, titled “Havana Syndrome: American Officials Under Attack,” explored the geopolitical impact of the so-called “Havana Syndrome,” in which dozens of US officials stationed abroad have experienced “anomalous health incidents” due to suspected attacks by Russian military intelligence, and argued for a more robust US response.

Forward Defense develops and shapes policy solutions that build US military power to deter war and secure the future.
