Been thinking lately about all the people who underestimated Putin these last 23 years, thinking he would never do the brazen, outrageous thing he was clearly signaling he was going to do. Some paid the price, losing their freedom, their money, their business and even their lives — PolitiTweet.org

And so it begins: Kremlin authorizes Russian troops to carry out “peacekeeping functions” in two Russia-backed separatist territories that have loomed large in the conflict over Ukraine. @antontroian https://t.co/m5Cg22xxeZ — PolitiTweet.org

A third shot of the mRNA vaccines made by Pfizer-BioNTech or by Moderna prompts the body to make a much wider variety of antibodies, which would be difficult for any variant of the virus to evade, according to the most recent study. ⁦@apoorva_nyc⁩ https://t.co/BXYjbE7Qug — PolitiTweet.org

Only 5% of Washingtonians love the Commanders as the new name of our NFL team and 36% like it while 17% hate it and 32% dislike it. More prefer the awful "Washington Football Team" as a name than the Commanders. ⁦@NickiJhabvala⁩ ⁦@EmGusk⁩ https://t.co/mMZ8Sltpvp — PolitiTweet.org

Putin says he will consider an obviously stage-managed appeal by leaders of two Moscow-backed separatist republics in Ukraine to be recognized as independent states, formalizing the results of his original 2014 attack on Ukraine. @VALERIEin140 @antontroian https://t.co/sNfumKLU7b — PolitiTweet.org

Fifty years after Nixon's opening to China, Moscow and Beijing profess to draw closer together, upending the geopolitical map. “They seek a new era, as they say, to replace the existing international order." ⁦@ewong⁩ https://t.co/yy1b0TkWBe — PolitiTweet.org

Rather than a festive moment, China's Olympics were a joyless spectacle, limited by a global health disaster, fraught with geopolitical tension, tainted by alleged doping and overshadowed by the Ukraine crisis. ⁦@stevenleemyers⁩ ⁦@kevindraper⁩ https://t.co/e9HlBD8udC — PolitiTweet.org

@five_books @lmchervinsky @DorisKGoodwin @sbg1 An honor to be on this list. "The Cabinet" by @lmchervinsky is a fascinating look at George Washington's fitful, ambivalent creation of what has become an enduring American institution.

As Putin keeps the world on edge, many in Moscow wonder if he was fundamentally changed by his extreme two-year isolation during the pandemic, a shift that may have left him even more paranoid, more aggrieved and more reckless. ⁦@antontroian⁩ https://t.co/aoSMzKCyYt — PolitiTweet.org
