Yes – hints at an unstated premise that US rhetoric alone can change Iran’s behavior. Not sure I see it. https://t.co/Gem8Om4OnM — PolitiTweet.org

Max Fisher @Max_Fisher

Exactly. We know Mattis opposes status quo. We know he opposes specific policy alternatives. So what does he favor? https://t.co/LJaJUbpwMp — PolitiTweet.org

Possible Mattis Iran hawkishness will translate into specific policy changes. Also possible path dependency etc will perpetuate status quo. — PolitiTweet.org

As is often the case, criticism of status quo ("policy of disengagement”) does not always clearly translate into specific policy changes. — PolitiTweet.org

I am reading a lot about how Mattis is “hawkish” on Iran but little on what that means for actual policy positions. What am I missing? — PolitiTweet.org

We all love the fun Mattis memes. Still, civilian control of the military is an important norm. Is now the best moment to weaken that norm? — PolitiTweet.org
