2 / The vast majority of our national security budget goes to the military and intel. We're talking over $600 billion year. To put that in perspective, we spend 20 times as much on the military and intel agencies as we do on diplomacy, democracy promotion and smart power. — PolitiTweet.org

1 / THREAD: Syria is a case study in how obsolete our foreign policy toolkit has become. Our only options today are troops or sanctions. As we rightly eviscerate Trump for abandoning the Kurds, we must also work to make sure the next president has more options. Let me explain. — PolitiTweet.org

3 / The problem? Most of the threats we face abroad are no longer conventional military threats. Syria, at it's heart, is a political, not military, quagmire. But we could only deploy 20 year old soldiers there, when we needed a massive diplomatic and political investment. — PolitiTweet.org
