Syria: amorphous conflict with constantly shifting rebel factions that included a powerful al-Qaeda affiliate Ukraine: support to a sovereign state with a top-down military hierarchy that relies on Western aid to defeat one of the worst acts of aggression in post-WWII history — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

A lot of the hand-wringing about "oversight" over Ukraine aid seems to be taking reasonable arguments about support for Syrian rebels and applying them to a wildly different context — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks to @KofmanMichael, @Simon_Schlegel_, and @EmmaMAshford for talking through everything from the details of analyzing artillery duels to the big strategic picture of what a postwar "victory" would mean https://t.co/s625spTVJZ — PolitiTweet.org

The war in Ukraine has been going on for six months. To mark the grim anniversary, I took a step back and asked what "winning" even looks like — and how we know who's doing it https://t.co/s625sqaYLZ — PolitiTweet.org

@mmasnick @scriban2 @blakereid that makes sense. i think the big bands — less than jake, reel big fish, goldfinger, streetlight manifesto, catch-22 — hold up pretty well — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

yes it's ridiculous music, all the bands know that and make jokes about it in their lyrics. it's great — PolitiTweet.org

A lot of the debate in American politics boils down to whether you see those things as totally different or existing on a continuum — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

This reflects the widespread belief on the respectable right that more subtle anti-democratic practices - extreme gerrymandering rather than insurrections - are basically acceptable — PolitiTweet.org

Even by the conspiratorial standards of contemporary Russia, the facts surrounding the Dugina assassination are murky and the potential motives behind the attack hard to identify — PolitiTweet.org

Just finished dinner at a vegan Eastern European restaurant that doubles as a skate shop. They served authentic beers from the region and played an Austrian ska punk band covering an Avicii song in an exaggerated Russian accent. Everything about this experience ruled. — PolitiTweet.org

Took my daughter to Petco today to look at the fishes and turtles. Guy there saw my kippah and asked me if I was from New York. — PolitiTweet.org

@MattBruenig @stern_tomer @ChadNotChud ah gotcha, that's true we didn't because it was mostly about the us policy response to the attack and it's a complicated question that honestly would deserve its own podcast — PolitiTweet.org

@MattBruenig @stern_tomer @ChadNotChud trying to figure out how i got tagged into this thread — PolitiTweet.org

This is a good thread in response to my piece. I used to think that Israeli democracy was at greater short-term risk than American democracy; "Stop the Steal" and January 6 changed my mind. — PolitiTweet.org

Free speech is a core liberal value that must be protected. But not everyone who says they support "free speech" actually does. — PolitiTweet.org

Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp

I really appreciate how principled French is about this. Quite a contrast between him and the people who use concepts like "free speech" and "religious freedom" as cynical shields for mandating their own values — PolitiTweet.org

@wupton I think this is wrong though, he supported the Bourbon restoration and advocated a return to monarchy as late as Du Pape. Donoso Cortes makes the move you’re describing, the bridge between De Maistre and Schmitt — PolitiTweet.org
