@JoshforGeorgia @MariManoogian Our play was more proposing a vague and nice-sounding sounding alternative that was too theoretical for anyone to be able to argue with — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
Right. The other thing about ISIS factions is that they tend to be insane fanatics even by jihadist standards. In Syria and Iraq, they unstrategically killed everyone (including potential allies). It's part of why their caliphate collapsed https://t.co/MZ2iZkPTUg — PolitiTweet.org

@zackbeauchamp Also, don't they hate the Taliban too? They wanted Afghanistan, I say let them deal with ISIS-K
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
There's very little evidence that, at present, ISIS-K has the ability to kill Americans anywhere but Afghanistan. We don't deploy thousands of ground troops anywhere there's a local jihadist group. — PolitiTweet.org

"Terrorists killed American soldiers, therefore we shouldn't withdraw American troops to a place where terrorists can't kill them anymore" is...a take — PolitiTweet.org

@mehdirhasan I genuinely laughed out loud at this, it's just such a funny example of Trump's core psychological ticks (hatred of Obama, need to inflate his own accomplishments) — PolitiTweet.org

It's almost less of a fallacy than a profound fact about the limits of human reason. Because we don't live in the reality where Option B was chosen, the costs aren't as clear. There's no way to prove or disprove critics who say Option B would have been better than Option A. — PolitiTweet.org

Perhaps the biggest fallacy in foreign policy debates is this: that there must be a better alternative to a bad situation — PolitiTweet.org

@ElyasBakhtiari @ZeeshanAleem Which is not to say what happened there is good! It was in fact horrific. But that's not the same thing as intentionally slaughtering civilians en masse — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@ElyasBakhtiari @ZeeshanAleem Ackerman's own book makes it clear that those things aren't really comparable https://t.co/j8l0ZOUEx1 — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@ZeeshanAleem yes the us did very bad things, but there is a "categorical" distinction both in international law and just war theory between what you're describing and an intentional retaliatory policy of wiping out entire cities — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@ZeeshanAleem come on man, you know that the intentional annihilation of a city is in fact *categorically* different than anything the us did in afghanistan or really anything anyone serious proposed — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
This is just insanely dishonest. The reasons that there had been no US service deaths since February 2020 — that very specific date he chose — is *because the US had a deal with the Taliban*. https://t.co/sFpymoPnKg https://t.co/V1ktVHZVlL — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@joshtpm The other thing is the casual conflation of categories, of all "Islamism" as being the same and coextensive with "totalitarianism" in the Muslim world. It's necessary to sustain his Communism comparison but astonishingly weak on any serious examination. — PolitiTweet.org

@joshtpm I found it, in a sort of backward fashion, by reading Berman's reply in a 2005 interview. It's wild to read now https://t.co/C2UbfHZSUx https://t.co/tcNsLM1HKY — PolitiTweet.org

Which isn't to say the discipline of Middle East studies was perfect or without need of external critique! Just that we would have all benefitted from a pundit class that took to them more seriously (or the IR professors who opposed the Iraq war) — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
The post-9/11 period has some interesting relevance to our "trust the experts" debates today. All of a sudden, a bunch of generalists got interested in Islamism and developed theories about it at odds with the academic consensus. The results were...not pretty. — PolitiTweet.org

Going over a bunch of post-9/11 literature about foreign policy for a piece and so much of it was (in hindsight) completely out of touch with reality. One exception is this sober piece by @joshtpm https://t.co/e0MCd8mryX https://t.co/wNixGhB1RL — PolitiTweet.org

It's a smart collage because it excludes Kant, preventing the easy Hume/Kant choice (the two best and most influential early modern philosophers) — PolitiTweet.org

Hume and Spinoza, with Locke as an alternate — PolitiTweet.org

Writing is weird. I just spent about half an hour on a single transition and failed to fix it. Then I took a break for a few minutes, came back, and solved it within 30 seconds. — PolitiTweet.org
