@nktpnd agreed — PolitiTweet.org

Yes exactly. Any embrace of Obama-era policies is probably from an advisor or cabinet official and cld be upended https://t.co/a3riQdntl7 — PolitiTweet.org

Maybe tomorrow we wake up to find that Advisor A wrested control of Middle East policy away from Advisor B, and everything gets reversed. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
One pitfall of an administration that isn’t unitary on policy: things can shift suddenly due to power rivalries within the White House. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
Thinking here especially of Trump’s seeming reversal on Israeli settlements. I sorta doubt he woke up with a changed mind. But an advisor? — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
Just as likely — maybe more likely on FP — is that an advisor acted unilaterally or "on behalf of Trump” in enacting that policy shift. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
If it looks like Trump has suddenly and inexplicably changed policy on a major issue, that this tweet presupposes is: maybe he didn’t? — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
It’s pretty clear that this administration is not a unitary actor on foreign policy. Keep that in mind e.g. on apparent policy “reversals." — PolitiTweet.org

I just wrote the pithy little intro at the top. @kitty_bennett did all the hard work. — PolitiTweet.org

All credit for cataloguing past coverage of these “under-covered" attacks goes to @kitty_bennett, who is sort of amazing — PolitiTweet.org

@DenisonBe @whinecough is there another time when a regional power has actively avoided filling a hegemonic vacuum like this? — PolitiTweet.org

Quick thoughts on that White House list of terror attacks, which furthers the Bannon narrative of war with Islam https://t.co/BIvFKbXvsS — PolitiTweet.org

@BraddJaffy Thanks v much — PolitiTweet.org

A little confused as to why two versions of the WH list seem to be circulating – one with descriptions, one without https://t.co/EHCP0kLkXo — PolitiTweet.org

@tomgara But I take your point about e.g. the never-ending pundit desire for retired generals to run as centrist presidential candidates — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
@tomgara I think that’s true but would draw a distinction vs military as an institution. Very low risk of overt mil involvement in politics — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
@smsaideman yes — it’s not what i would call a home run best-case outcome but it’s a lot better than the worst-case — PolitiTweet.org

@tomgara Euro militaries are all totally apolitical right now for sure but I can think of some points in recent history when they weren’t — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
Anyway, in an era when everything is politicized and democratic norms are collapsing (I see you, US Congress), the military is exceptional. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
Most countries with powerful, popular militaries can’t take this for granted in the way that Americans can. And it takes work to do. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
That does not mean the US military is perfect. But even among consolidated democracies, US stands out for relatively apolitical military. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
You hear this around the world — people want their militaries to train with the US military bc its democratic values tend to rub off — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
I’m not saying that out of some rah-rah, support-our-troops sentimentality. It’s just a fact. The US military is a pillar of our democracy. — PolitiTweet.org
Max Fisher @Max_Fisher
The American military’s embrace of democratic norms like civilian control is just crucial for democracy’s survival. https://t.co/jZFDq8ymhn — PolitiTweet.org
