I know this is a very unpopular opinion, so let me just say: this does not mean that bombing Syria was the answer. But red lines don’t appear out of nowhere, the choice was made to draw that line and then not to stick to it. Could’ve just not drawn it! — PolitiTweet.org

100%. Drawing and not maintaining a “red line” was a turning point in how Putin views the US and its credibility. It’s not for nothing he has been using the term re: Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

It reminds me of when Snowden landed in Moscow and Peskov kept saying “he’s not in Russia,” which was technically true, because he was in the airport and had not yet passed through passport control. You truly need to parse every word. — PolitiTweet.org

Been thinking about Syria so much lately. It would be too simple to say “another conflict the world failed to stop” but it truly feels like global institutions designed to ensure some kind of peace have totally failed (partly killed by the war in Iraq). — PolitiTweet.org
