Spike Lee made a 9/11 documentary in which he comes out as a "jet fuel can't melt steel beams" guy https://t.co/R6utPuJ5w8 https://t.co/6leGrQUc6A — PolitiTweet.org

@DKThomp Fincher had to CGI the blood because he did dozens of takes of each murder scene and cleanup took too long. What a psycho, what a legend — PolitiTweet.org

You would think this would be an uncontroversial point, but the idea that burning the village will save it remains an almost religious article of faith in this country — PolitiTweet.org

The next big debate is already taking shape: should we provide aid to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan or sanction it into even deeper poverty? It’s going to get very ugly and a lot of Afghan civilians are going to be made to suffer for the sake of DC political theater (again) — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

The history of rebels seizing power suggests: 1) Taliban will pledge moderation but fall far short of its promises 2) To the extent it complies, it will be a play for foreign aid/recognition 3) Denying aid/recognition will remove any incentive for Taliban to temper its brutality — PolitiTweet.org

I think we all agree that the Taliban's new governor of Kunduz is probably not, in his heart, a committed fourth-wave feminist. A more pertinent debate might be what are the circumstances & policies that might deter the worst abuses and incentivize grudging moderation. — PolitiTweet.org

It’s from May, but this is still my best & most concise assessment of why the US mission in Afghanistan failed so completely and so catastrophically. https://t.co/ZZrpK77Kvc — PolitiTweet.org

@mattyglesias Only relative to ISIS or al-Qaeda, but definitely not to the status quo. And obviously the Taliban history of working with al-Qaeda, however far back in time, makes it hard to call them an alternative — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

(3) Blaming ISIS on American departure from Iraq pretends that history began in 2010. In reality, the American invasion and occupation is central to how ISIS happened. Doing more US occupation to mitigate the consequences of US occupation is burning the village to save it. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

(2) Groups like ISIS thrive and rise amid the power vacuums of civil war, e.g. in Syria. Which is exactly what 20 years of American presence in Afghanistan has helped to perpetuate. Leaving isn't how you allow ISIS to sweep – staying is. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

(1) ISIS was able to sweep Iraq in large part bc the state and army were too weak to stop them. The Taliban has proven over 20 years of war it does not have this problem. You know who does? The US-backed Afghan state and Afghan Natl Army. — PolitiTweet.org
