@mattyglesias I will not donate to any GOP Senator who supports the No Fly Zone, the Kinzinger bill, or other escalation to direct war. I will donate to any Democratic Senator who advocates for a diplomatic solution taking NATO expansion and Crimea off the table. Suggestions? — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias That is one of the claims in your piece. But the paragraph I cited is making a different claim, which is about the American interest in this war. Note that you are basically conceding that the US is engaged in an immoral proxy war — you just think that’s a good thing. — PolitiTweet.org

@JamesFallows @stuartpstevens @RadioFreeTom One doesn’t need to be a savant to understand the failure of American foreign policy. One only needs a desire to assess track record and hold failure accountable. Journalists used to be able to do this. In fact, you did it quite well (eg Iraq War). — PolitiTweet.org

David Sacks @DavidSacks

According to @mattyglesias, American foreign policy interests are served by as many Russians and Ukrainians killing each other as possible. I find this argument grotesque. https://t.co/Bok6nmVuTu — PolitiTweet.org

@JamesFallows @stuartpstevens @RadioFreeTom FWIW I liked the Atlantic when you were editor. These days, the all-neocon foreign policy columns are just embarrassing. — PolitiTweet.org

@kittukolluri The EU has 10x the GDP and 3x the population of Russia. The Russian army barely functions beyond its immediate supply lines. Europe has NATO. The threat of Putin recreating USSR is zero. The only real threat is that Putin becomes so desperate that he uses nukes. — PolitiTweet.org

@michael_olenick @RadioFreeTom Nothing personal, but as far as I can tell, @RadioFreeTom has been on the wrong side of every American foreign policy fiasco of the last two decades. That’s the resume I care about. — PolitiTweet.org

@Popehat @RadioFreeTom My point was not about a violation of rights. I merely reject Tom’s assertion that there’s a professional class (defined by and including him of course) that must be listened to, while everyone else should “shut up.” — PolitiTweet.org

@stuartpstevens @RadioFreeTom You’re a political hit man who literally works for autocrats. Sit down. https://t.co/idZ0JmcEJQ — PolitiTweet.org

David Sacks @DavidSacks

@Popehat @RadioFreeTom A dumb, uninformed opinion — like, say, Iraq was hiding WMD programs and was “in cahoots with Al Qaeda”? Good news, Tom has us covered! https://t.co/qs78jj8JV7 — PolitiTweet.org

David Sacks @DavidSacks

The point is that when you’re in an escalatory spiral, further escalation is not going to get you out. Here’s the full Shapiro piece, which is worth reading. https://t.co/r7enA7dW6d — PolitiTweet.org

David Sacks @DavidSacks

Now compare that to Shapiro’s description of how an “American genius” might miscalculate and set off WW3: https://t.co/Xo1gjyy4sv — PolitiTweet.org

The London piece basically recommends an American version of the “escalate to deescalate” doctrine that the Russians are thought to believe in: https://t.co/db8vwJcWjU — PolitiTweet.org

David Sacks @DavidSacks

This piece is making the rounds in hawkish security circles. Rather than being a piece of brilliant thinking, it exemplifies the “danger of geniuses” that @JyShapiro described in his @WarOnTheRocks post. Let’s compare… — PolitiTweet.org

David Sacks @DavidSacks

You want foreign policy to be your personal sandbox where “professionals” like you dictate policy while the rest of the American people have to “shut up” and bear all the costs of your failure. Sorry, that’s not the way it works in a democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

David Sacks @DavidSacks

You and your fellow “professionals” at @TheAtlantic like @davidfrum and @EliotACohen lied us into the Iraq War and open-ended occupation of Afghanistan. And when it goes horribly wrong, who do you blame? Not yourselves, but the American people. https://t.co/myhMAxynYe — PolitiTweet.org

@RadioFreeTom I guess I should be thanking you then! Apparently you believe your credential as a staff writer at The Atlantic gives you standing to determine who has the right to an opinion. Fortunately the world doesn’t work that way. — PolitiTweet.org

@DouglasMGriffin @RadioFreeTom You think the US should be policing eastern Ukraine? — PolitiTweet.org

David Sacks @DavidSacks

@RadioFreeTom I did you the courtesy of reading your article despite your insufferable arrogance. Your piece does not explain how deeper US involvement makes America safer or richer. In fact, your crusade for the “international order” puts American security and wealth at risk. — PolitiTweet.org

David Sacks @DavidSacks

Why don’t you try to articulate the vital national interest that compels the United States into a nuclear showdown instead of pretending like the common folk are too dumb to understand the risk that you insist be taken on their behalf? — PolitiTweet.org

David Sacks @DavidSacks

@RadioFreeTom If your vaunted “experts” think that the US should be sacrificing its own security over disputed territories in eastern Ukraine, they’re the ones who are out of line, not the clear-thinking “amateurs” that you have so much disdain for. — PolitiTweet.org
