Second was the rise of anti-Muslim violence, partly an extension of the right-wing populism remaking the world & still barely understood. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

Within that line were a lot of really difficult and scary implications for whether terrorism had as much meaning as groups & pols insisted. — PolitiTweet.org

First was the rise of ISIS, which forced us to confront the super-blurry line bw a disturbed loner vs a strategic group that might claim him — PolitiTweet.org

I don't we appreciate how much our definition of "terrorism" has evolved in the last three years, due to three events. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

@ilangoldenberg i understand some folks made that recommendation but a common refrain was limited strikes to bring about regime collapse — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

Now those recommendations have become reality. The promised gains are strangely illusive, as are the folks who promised them. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

If you think I'm exaggerating, go back and read the op-eds from six months ago. Common to claim a US air strike would change everything. — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

Still today, if you watch any cable news segment on Syria, there is a 100% chance you will see an "expert" who made this now-falsified claim — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

2014-2016, you couldnt attend a DC think tank without hearing that a US air strike on Syria would prompt regime collapse. Weirdly quiet now. — PolitiTweet.org
