Which is not to say NATO *doesn't* matter. A proper understanding of contemporary Russian nationalism means understanding how all of this fits into a narrative of national humiliation and lost grandeur. But the economic history is way less present in The Discourse. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
I find it surprising how much more emphasis NATO gets relative to Western-backed economic "reform" in driving Russia's grievances. The latter, and the attendant 1990s socio-economic disaster, seems more closely tied to the rise of Putinism than NATO. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@wesyang I'm confused. My argument is there is no common principle at work in these two cases — other than "Nazis are bad" — which could cause the second to serve as a reductio to the first. That's not responsive. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@wesyang That's not a reductio, which is the logical extension of a principle to absurd conclusions. These are just fundamentally different discourses connected only by the term "Nazi." — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
No, it's not. Russia and Ukraine had their own history, going back to the actual Second World War and up through Maidan, that led to Putin's de-Nazification war pretext. North American culture wars have nothing to do with it. — PolitiTweet.org

The American foreign policy commentariat is used to talking about wars against minor powers and insurgents. When dealing with a nuclear-armed great power, the options are qualitatively different. https://t.co/zbloFtdwHs — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidAstinWalsh @HeerJeet It's not going to happen, even with the calls from some high-profile folks, but it's important to lay a marker that this kind of thinking is not OK — PolitiTweet.org

Also, let’s consider a no-fly zone over the nonoccupied part of #Ukraine.

@MattSepara @AllezLesBoulez It does not, it is a simple consequentialist calculus based on what actions are most likely to lead to the least amount of suffering. Getting involved in an ongoing war and trying to deter a future one are qualitatively different on that score; I think this should be obvious. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
@DenisonBe Yeah I was agreeing with you and amplifying your point — PolitiTweet.org

Deepen the sanctions. Launch cyber operations. Put severe diplomatic pressure on influential third parties, like India, to take a stronger anti-Russia stance. Deploy more troops to treaty allies and make clear to Russia they can't be touched. But don't start a war no one wins. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
It should be obvious that I view the Russian war as an atrocity, and the people in the West apologizing for it as dupes *at best.* But the fact Russia is in the wrong does not mean that the United States should risk destroying the world to stop it. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
Calling for a "no fly zone" in Ukraine is just calling for a direct US war with Russia. It is an unthinkably stupid idea that can and should be rejected out of hand. — PolitiTweet.org

There is a reason the US didn’t intervene in Soviet crackdowns in Hungary in ‘56 or Czechoslovakia in ‘68, and it’s not that Eisenhower or Johnson were personally opposed to war — PolitiTweet.org

If we’re judging by attainable benchmarks, rather than fantasies of American omnipotence, Biden’s Russia strategy strikes me as fairly effective. — PolitiTweet.org
Zack Beauchamp @zackbeauchamp
This is a baffling argument. It assumes that Biden’s Russia strategy could only be a “success” if it deterred the invasion, which we now know to have been impossible unless the US was willing to risk nuclear war https://t.co/w84TCJWENZ — PolitiTweet.org
