I am getting weary of reading articles in which Americans advise other Americans about how to negotiate the future of #Ukraine. (Thread) 1/

We are not fighting in Ukraine, and so we do not decide when the fighting stops, or on what terms. 2/

1/30 Putin is responsible for the invasion, and must redistribute blame for its failure. After a month, some vectors of discord in the Russian government have suggested themselves. (Thread)
2/30 I summarize here from open sources certain unusual features of this war. These are odd facts that would seem to suggest prior, or provoke future, dissension among Russian leaders. I draw no conclusions, and will at most suggest where to look.
3/30 Putin is the supreme leader. The invasion of Ukraine was predicated on his idea that there was no Ukrainian state or nation. His views are widely repeated, though perhaps not as widely shared. They were immediately proven wrong.

1/8. Sister cities should help one another. American cities can help Ukrainian ones. #SisterCitiesforUkraine #HelpYourSister #StandWithUkraine
2/8. A number of American cities have sister cities in #Ukraine, where people have been attacked by or are threatened by the Russian army.
3/8. Mayors and civic leaders in all of those American cities should be organizing campaigns of assistance. What else can "sister city" mean if not a willingness to help?

0/6 FAQ about my new #Ukraine audiobook (On Tyranny: Expanded Audio Edition)
1/6 Will the new Ukraine audiobook be available in print?
There is no text. I wasn't reading. I was speaking to you. I did this very quickly, from notes, in the form of twenty conversational lectures, sometimes ambitious intellectually, sometimes intimate and close.
2/6 Will the audiobook be available in the UK/other countries?
The audiobook will be available in the US, Canada and select other countries on April 19. There isn't yet but might be a UK edition. I guess it might depend on how many people ask that question.
