Since the World’s Greatest Moderator™️ forgot to ask about the most important issue in the world this week on @theallinpod, I went on @lochhead’s podcast to discuss Ukraine and President Biden’s “Armageddon” warning. Here’s our deep dive on that: https://t.co/DJZr5u7AP1 — PolitiTweet.org

@AriDavidPaul @RoaringFujin @PeterMcCormack @theallinpod I’m describing a cultural dynamic. If you think this is ad hominem, you should spend 5 minutes in my notifs. — PolitiTweet.org

@Arturmaks @RadioFreeTom @TimothyDSnyder Look at their track records. Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya. These are not experts. Realism & Restraint, not The Atlantic, is the foreign policy school that got these decisions right, listen to them. — PolitiTweet.org

The bombing of civilian centers, in retaliation for the bombing of the bridge, is an atrocity. The escalatory spiral will continue unless a negotiated settlement is reached, with nuclear use as an increasingly inevitable end point. — PolitiTweet.org

@AlteraPete @vkhosla The Russian naval base at Sevastopol has been there since 1783! It preexists Ukrainian independence or even the transfer of Crimea from Russia to Ukraine by the USSR. If Ukraine tries to take it by force, Moscow would consider it grounds for nuclear use. — PolitiTweet.org

I have no Russian investors. Has anyone noticed that the pro-war side of this debate is a non-stop smear machine? — PolitiTweet.org

David Sacks @DavidSacks

@vkhosla Russia has a huge naval base at Sevastopol that is home to the Black Sea fleet. Very unlikely they give that up and allow it to become a NATO base without resorting to nuclear use. Do you have a plan for that? — PolitiTweet.org

David Sacks @DavidSacks

So dumb. I don’t have any business with Russia, or Ukraine for that matter. Now, who’s paying you to be pro-war? Defense contractors or Ukraine directly? Obviously a person can’t have a view without a pecuniary motive. — PolitiTweet.org

@kimmaicutler Nice job with the oppo. I’m sure you’re very familiar with his work. Sachs wanted the US to provide economic assistance to Russia to avert the catastrophe. He left when his approach was rejected. Who knows if it would have worked but it’s hard to blame him when it wasn’t tried. — PolitiTweet.org

David Sacks @DavidSacks

All of you who fancy yourselves good liberals but keep braying for war need to listen to Prof Jeffrey Sachs, who has spent his life doing international development. He actually is a good liberal with first-hand knowledge of what’s happening. https://t.co/DcVc37sRcE — PolitiTweet.org

@MarcBodnick Yup. Wanting to avoid nuclear war is now an “extremist” view. — PolitiTweet.org

David Sacks @DavidSacks

I’m using the word Democracy to mean the right to self-determination. The vast majority of people in Crimea are Russian and would choose to go with Russia. It would escalate the war massively, while violating our own principles, to deny their right to self-determination. — PolitiTweet.org

David Sacks @DavidSacks

@josh__wolff The vast majority of Crimea is Russian and wants to be part of Russia. If we support self-determination, we will allow that. — PolitiTweet.org

David Sacks @DavidSacks

Two very distinct phases to this war: 1. War for Democracy - defending Kiev. 2. War against Democracy - attacking Crimea. The US accomplished something with #1. It should not support #2. — PolitiTweet.org

@ZevinClark I said the opposite. — PolitiTweet.org

@davemcclure @triptepper If they’re willing to fight a nuclear war. — PolitiTweet.org

@davemcclure @triptepper I am NOT ridiculing people who have only recent interest in Ukraine. I am ridiculing people who have only recent interest in Ukraine AND want to fight a nuclear war on its behalf. — PolitiTweet.org

David Sacks @DavidSacks

@davemcclure Puhlease. I see a far greater number of those types of accounts on the other side of this debate. Look at the hysteria when Elon floated a peace proposal. The bots were working overtime to shoot that down. — PolitiTweet.org

David Sacks @DavidSacks

@davemcclure Justifying broader wars on the basis of “domino theories” have a very poor historical track record. Unless of course you think Vietnam made sense. — PolitiTweet.org

David Sacks @DavidSacks

No American president has ever claimed Ukraine to be a vital interest of the US. Even Biden stopped short of that in his State of the Union. This is why Biden refused the No Fly Zone and direct military involvement at the start of the war. To claim otherwise now is mission creep. — PolitiTweet.org
