Sort of wild how we're establishing a quasi-American rump state in a landlocked portion of eastern Syria with basically no public debate or exit strategy https://t.co/36NUhaGL1u — PolitiTweet.org

To be clear, I'm not arguing that this week's protests are happening because Rouhani over-promised economic returns from the nuclear deal. I just don't think we have enough info to draw conclusions one way or the other yet. — PolitiTweet.org

I don't want to blow anybody's minds but interviews with the current president and the previous president seem to proceed somewhat differently — PolitiTweet.org

In 2015, Obama told me that he worried that Rouhani could unintentionally kill the deal by over-promising economic returns, which he was already doing before the deal was even signed. https://t.co/1HIGtDAHfN — PolitiTweet.org

Amazing responses, keep em coming. Mine: this with @amandataub on how, in Mexico, economic inequality is driving up violence and undermining the state. Not things that've gotten a ton of 2017 attention but important + alarming lessons for us all. https://t.co/hI738NydhU — PolitiTweet.org
