FOREIGN POLICY'S TOP 5 READS
Tuesday, November 25

---------------------------------

#1 
EXCLUSIVE: Michèle Flournoy, the rumored candidate to replace Hagel as the next defense secretary, has taken herself out of the running for the job. FP’s John Hudson and Yochi Dreazen report: <a href='http://link.foreignpolicy.com/5253172ac16bcfa46f6bd4c720u7l.4jtl/VHUDcsPoDAF93N_5A1a12 target='_blank' style='font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#ea1414;text-decoration:none;font-size:15px;line-height:21px;'>Read more</a>:

#2
CURSE OF CHUCK: Firing Hagel was the easy part. Finding a new Pentagon chief capable of dealing with the Islamic State, a micromanaging White House, and angry Republicans will be far harder: <a href='http://link.foreignpolicy.com/5253172ac16bcfa46f6bd4c720u7l.4jtl/VHUDcsPoDAF93N_6A0b2b target='_blank' style='font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#ea1414;text-decoration:none;font-size:15px;line-height:21px;'>Read more</a>:

#3
GOGOL AND GRAD ROCKETS: Armed men in the audience, rockets falling in the background, and no electricity at home. FP contributor Lily Hyde profiles a theater troupe's fight to perform in Donetsk: <a href='http://link.foreignpolicy.com/5253172ac16bcfa46f6bd4c720u7l.4jtl/VHUDcsPoDAF93N_7A557e target='_blank' style='font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#ea1414;text-decoration:none;font-size:15px;line-height:21px;'>Read more</a>:

#4
TOO BIG TO FAIL: Seven more months of nuke talks is the good news. The bad news is if they fail, so will nuclear non-proliferation efforts around the world: <a href='http://link.foreignpolicy.com/5253172ac16bcfa46f6bd4c720u7l.4jtl/VHOqUMPoDAF91TFSA21e5 target='_blank' style='font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#ea1414;text-decoration:none;font-size:15px;line-height:21px;'>Read more</a>:

#5
HOME AWAY FROM HOME: Six months after the coup, pro-democracy activists from Thailand are banding together in exile rather than submit to the military junta: <a href='http://link.foreignpolicy.com/5253172ac16bcfa46f6bd4c720u7l.4jtl/VHUDcsPoDAF93N_8A1591 target='_blank' style='font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#ea1414;text-decoration:none;font-size:15px;line-height:21px;'>Read more</a>:
