@MarukaMags Bang for the buck. We’re decimating an aggressive rival who endangers our allies for a small fraction of our defense budget without any American blood being shed. And it sends a message to China not to attack Taiwan, and to Asian allies that they need not capitulate to China. — PolitiTweet.org

@Turkewitz A tacit unspoken understanding is an agreement. You don’t tell the Russians except to avoid the problem of them attacking Kyiv while Biden was there, even if diplomatically Russia can’t say that they’re backing down from the implicit or explicit threat made in the phone call. — PolitiTweet.org
