Limited founding cohort
Jason Jay Smart is opening an independent community for serious followers of Ukraine, security, democracy, authoritarian power, and global affairs.
We’re starting small to build a thoughtful, high-signal community before opening more broadly.
Why this space exists
The Security Brief community is designed for ongoing discussion around Jason’s work, breaking developments, sources, analysis, and strategic context beyond the limits of algorithmic feeds.
The goal is not noise, hot takes, or mass-comment chaos. The goal is a durable working space where serious participants can follow developments in sequence, share useful sources, ask better questions, and help build continuity over time.
How it works
Tell us where you follow Jason, what topics you care about, and why you would like to join the founding community.
The first cohort is intentionally small so the community can develop a useful culture before broader expansion.
If approved, you will receive a single-use invitation link by email with simple instructions for joining.
Founding members will help establish the tone, welcome others, and build a serious space for ongoing signal.
Founding access
The first group will be kept intentionally small. If this sounds like the kind of community you would like to help build, request an invite below.
