@RadioFreeTom It’s morbidly fascinating how many different ways nuclear war would destroy our species — PolitiTweet.org

@RadioFreeTom In a podcast interview today, I was asked to explain what happened if there actually was a US-RU nuclear exchange. Thinking back to the basics of fallout clouds and nuclear winter was...bracing — PolitiTweet.org

I of course prefer the Goldfinger version, like a good millennial who was into the punk scene in high school, but I thought this reference would be more accessible — PolitiTweet.org

I know I shouldn't be, but I'm genuinely shocked by how cavalier people are about the prospect of nuclear annihilation — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
Also, just geographically, Putin would have to have gone through several NATO states to get ther. That would have triggered US intervention and quite possibly a nuclear exchange. A good reminder that choosing to say nothing is always an option when you're ignorant. — PolitiTweet.org

@deeesharp Yea, her view is that is not trivial for Russian leaders but has little explanatory power for recent decision to invade. Much bigger factor, in her view, is fear that Ukrainian success as a democratic state could give succor to anti-Putin domestic opposition — PolitiTweet.org

This morning I interviewed Yoshiko Herrera, a political scientist at the University of Wisconsin-Madison who studies Russia. She gave the best explanation of the role that NATO played in the current crisis that I've heard anywhere. I've transcribed it below: https://t.co/rhTsPPxalB — PolitiTweet.org

I have seen this logic used by extremists on both sides of the Israel-Palestine conflict. It is what justifies Hamas suicide bombings of buses and the siege of Gaza. It is horrifying and should be roundly rejected by everyone. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
It's a moral absurdity to claim that citizens of a democracy who oppose their government are responsible for state policies — let alone citizens of an extremely repressive authoritarian state like Russia — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
The notion that citizens of a state are collectively responsible for their government's policies is the exact logic used to justify terrorism — PolitiTweet.org

@Joelmentum @lymanstoneky @danielmarans The disease metaphor was really interesting. It positioned non-Russian nationalism — not nationalism per se — as something introduced by the Soviets into the Russian body politic in the way you suggest. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@lymanstoneky @danielmarans I think "imperial nationalism" is a perfectly cogent category in historical terms, and applies very accurately to a leader who is defending imperial ambitions by reference to his own nationalist myths — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
I find it weird how people seem to forget that Ukraine is also on our planet, which would be devastated by a US-Russia nuclear exchange — PolitiTweet.org
Stephanie Carvin @StephanieCarvin
We can help Ukrainian people survive. We can’t survive nuclear war.
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@lymanstoneky @danielmarans It might be the case that the civic/ethnic binary, typically used to categorize debates in advanced Western democracies, doesn't apply very well in other contexts — PolitiTweet.org

In the academic and think worlds, very few fields are as gender-coded as war studies. It's really easy — I've done it myself — to only quote male experts, the manly men who know about guns and bombs. Don't do this! Consult @womenalsoknow (https://t.co/gja7q6Z7ar) — PolitiTweet.org

@lymanstoneky this is not at all inconsistent and it's kind of weird that you think it's a dunk? — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
Yes, actually — near consensus among Russia experts I've seen that Putin's speech prior to the war laying out his grievances is an authentic representation of his worldview https://t.co/pTx5K9jd7D — PolitiTweet.org
Russ Greene @GreenPlusAnE
@zackbeauchamp should we believe his rhetoric? or that this is the primary motivation for his decisions?
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
Dismissing Putin's rhetoric about Ukrainian sovereignty by claiming he's some kind of Andersonian liberal skeptic about the idea of nationalism — I mean, it's absurd! But it's the move you make when you need real-world political figures to conform toy our theory's predictions — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
If you have spent any time studying Putin's rhetoric, it is very obvious that he does not believe "all nations" are made up. He is an ardent Russian nationalist who has argued that Ukraine has been joined to Russia "since time immemorial." — PolitiTweet.org
