If Ukraine had invaded Russia, I would absolutely not have favored the United States responding to that with sanctions on Russia and material aide to Ukraine. That would be crazy. But it’s not what happened and to me that makes a big difference. — PolitiTweet.org

To be clear, I loudly opposed military action in Libya & Syria when Obama was president. I think attacking other countries is very bad. But that’s what Russia is doing here not Ukraine or the United States! — PolitiTweet.org

@zackbeauchamp I know you mean a different sense of “economic factors” but I think there’s decent evidence that structural changes in media economics and information distribution is a key factor. https://t.co/gMVY99WUqU — PolitiTweet.org
