🧵Masha Gessen to @WNYC: Putin obsessively talked about Poland in his interview with Carlson. He mentioned Poland more than 30 times. He blamed Poland for starting WWII, for…inciting Hitler’s aggression against Poland, using the exact same words as he uses when he talks about
how Ukraine incited Russia’s war against Ukraine. So, yes, I think he is putting things in place propagandistically for an invasion of Poland. Poland which not coincidentally has just unseated an authoritarian government and is rebuilding its democracy. It is very much in the
stages of political reinvention that Ukraine was when Russia first invaded Ukraine in 2014. This is the kind of thing that gets Putin going. His righteous anger against former subjects of the Russian empire…
And, yeah, I very much believe he wants to crush Poland.

A week after Putin interview with Carlson aired, “Russia has shown the world what can happen to a person in a Russian prison. It’s also significant that Navalny was killed on the first day of the Munich conference.
“In 2007, Putin chose the conference as his stage for declaring what would become his war against the West. Now, with this war in full swing, …the murders committed by his regime dominate the proceedings.” newyorker.com/news/postscrip…

🧵U.S. Senior Admin official, speaking after POTUS/Netanyahu call, on Rafah: As of right now, you have 1.3 million people in Rafah and they have nowhere to go.
SAO: But I will say we have heard from Israeli leaders and security officials that there's a clear precondition for anything in Rafah that the population would have..to be moved safely and…again, how that's done, everything else that is a huge question.
SAO: And until there was something like that, that was actually planned, prepared and implementable, it is kind of a hypothetical situation because we have made very clear that an operation [under] current conditions is not something that we could envision.

🧵 “In a closed-door briefing last week, U.S. intelligence officials told lawmakers that while Israel had degraded Hamas’s military capabilities, it is not close to exterminating the group more than 100 days into its campaign, said officials familiar with the briefing…
“U.S. leaders are skeptical of Netanyahu’s claim that he has destroyed two-thirds of Hamas’s fighting regiments, & they warn that the high levels of civilian casualties are ensuring that a radicalized population will live adjacent to Israel for decades to come.”

🧵German Chancellor Scholz, speaking to German press after meeting POTUS, via WH pooler: “The President is very clear, & we agree: if we fail to get a decision in the US Congress that releases funds for further support to Ukraine, then this is a threat to Ukraine's ability to do
“so to defend country. That is why we are both firmly convinced that this must happen now, but also confident that the American Congress will ultimately make such a decision.”
 
“That is also the right message to the Russian president that his hope is in vain, that he simply has
to wait long enough for the willingness of Ukraine's friends in Europe and North America and elsewhere to [support it] to wane." Ukraine can continue to count on the necessary support.

🧵Sen. Chris Van Hollen praises new national security memorandum issued by the President, saying it models provisions in an amendment he offered with 18 colleagues. It does 3 things, he says: It said that we should make sure that US security assistance is aligned with our values
and it specifically said that we are finding a way to ensure that recipients of US military assistance will comply with international humanitarian law and with international law as applicable.
The other major provision in our amendment was that recipients of US security assistance of military assistance will cooperate in the provision of humanitarian assistance in areas of conflict where they are using U.S.-provided weapons.
