Deja vu: Around 2006 we used to say that the apparent rule was that you were only considered serious on national security if you had been wrong about Iraq. Now it appears that to get on cable TV you have to have been wrong about Afghanistan. — PolitiTweet.org

Pretty sure there's a Sholom Aleichem story about how Chelm, the town of fools, dealt with the problem of people slipping off a dangerous mountain road: they built a hospital at the bottom of the slope. But they had nothing on GOP governors https://t.co/0IAdXJofbr — PolitiTweet.org

What this tells us is that we could have had much of the return to normality vaccines seemed to promise — but we were robbed of that reward by MAGA sabotage 2/ https://t.co/X7rfNdxkxm — PolitiTweet.org

Something I've been thinking about: Lollapalooza. 350,000 raucous attendees — but with vaccine or Covid test required for entry, and masking in 2nd half. And apparently not much infection 1/ https://t.co/5kDPSUO6mH — PolitiTweet.org

I'm angry, even though I can work from home, can afford to live well despite the pandemic, and don't have school-age children. A lot of people are, justifiably, furious 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Krugman @paulkrugman

We're not getting that, and this disappointment is largely — not entirely, but largely — the fault of a vocal minority that refuses to take basic precautions, both vaxxing and masking. And the politicians who egg them on 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

Americans were looking forward to the return of normal life — being able to send their kids to school without fear, being able to see other people and go out, thanks to vaccines and a bit of prudence 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

We'll have to see, but I don't think many political pundits have thought about the implications of what I think of as the rage of the responsible. 1/ https://t.co/WM1YHVVV3P — PolitiTweet.org

Global warming is fake news. Anyway, it isn’t man-made. And doing anything about it would destroy the economy. The last claim is as false as the first two. https://t.co/DA2crwFSVO — PolitiTweet.org

Paul Krugman @paulkrugman

But they couldn't do it. Spain at the time had maybe a third Afghanistan's current population, and France committed around 350,000 soldiers at the peak; they couldn't suppress the Spaniards, who kept losing regular battles but fought a brutal guerrilla war 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Instead, it was the French against a nationalist uprising, with a strong religious component. And let's be clear: there was at least initially a good case for the French, who were trying to drag a backward nation into the modern world 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

The Peninsular War was Napoleon's long attempt to place Spain under French rule. Most English-language books on that war are Wellington-centric — but until near the end the British were literally peripheral players 2/ — PolitiTweet.org
