Vindman blew the whistle & now the payback escalates.
https://twitter.com/RitchieTorres/status/1859601113370005667I'm no Netanyahu supporter, but like any sovereign nation, Israel has the right to defend itself from existential threats. The ICC, like the UN, would like Israel to just disappear, which is exactly what would happen if it stopped fighting for its survival.
https://twitter.com/georgewbarros/status/1858220388016070880If you think the nuclear threat is greater now than 5 months or 5 years ago, your case against Western arms has been refuted. Russia has escalated, bombing Ukrainian civilians daily. Iranian weapons, NK troops, Chinese supplies. Due not to Western arms, but the lack of them.

https://twitter.com/edwhelaneppc/status/1855961725557723214Putin steadily reshaped Russia's fragile democracy with the willing aid of the Russian Duma (Congress) and courts who didn’t want to cross him. Power is voluntarily ceded to the president and an autocratic vertical is created. Federal over state power next.

But Trump makes it obvious and necessary.
https://twitter.com/fukuyamafrancis/status/1849928086902669418I called the Putin system an unholy mix of Adam Smith and Marx; they nationalize the costs and privatize the profits. They loot the state and then turn the state into a looting machine. Look at how Trump runs his campaigns, his foreign policy. Friends & family for profit.
https://twitter.com/alinejadmasih/status/1849083979246215457It’s the democratic world that often downplays and covers up these attacks against their citizens, residents, and sovereignty. To avoid "escalation," of course, meaning having the courage to actually do something. This creates impunity and escalation by the terror states.
https://twitter.com/lucanway/status/1840593651619033508They know, of course. Some are corrupt, happy to sell out Ukraine and Europe. The others are just hoping to pass the buck on Russian aggression like their predecessors did, which is how we got here. And Putin knows it. This is the price of appeasement, and it always goes up.
https://twitter.com/HillelNeuer/status/1838234352380997803It may not be worth the effort of disintegrating the UN, as corrupt and worthless as it is becoming. But there must at least be an alternative organization where dictatorships aren't running human rights committees & authoritarian regimes can't gang up to condemn democracies.
https://twitter.com/akamyshin/status/1833058523183214992As I know from long experience in the USSR and Russia, there is no "just chess," or "just sports" when it comes to propaganda. It means allowing Russia to promote its image on the global stage while murdering Ukrainians in an unprovoked war of conquest.
https://twitter.com/sumlenny/status/1829182651355591091You cannot negotiate out of a crisis with someone whose survival depends on the crisis continuing. Either Russia destroys Ukraine with massive material and strategic gains, with NATO next, or continuing becomes a threat to Putin’s grip on power so he declares victory & leaves.
https://twitter.com/kolga/status/1828822574350188721Novelty & attack are key. They force decisions all the way up to the dictator & paralyze the power vertical. In a dictatorship, everyone from conscript to general is terrified of making a decision. If it’s business as usual, the behemoth can function. Anything novel is crippling.
https://twitter.com/chriso_wiki/status/1823003072177553458Societal apathy and corruption are useful for sustaining a dictatorship. Civil society is erased and the people collectively have no power, no stake, no interests beyond survival. But that lack of resistance applies to everything, including foreign invasion.
https://twitter.com/AP/status/1820807248668471347The honeymoon is over & it's not a primary. Shapiro would counter Harris's woke ballast. But Harris wasn't comfortable with his abilities, another poor indicator. You can't be comfortable and beat Trump. He lies, cheats, and steals. It's a street fight. 2/4
