When you haven't read Hemingway in a while, somehow the parodies and pastiches overtake the reality. After a long lapse, I've returned to "Farewell to Arms." Its austere modernism is as exciting and powerful as ever. The parodies are overwhelmed and banished. — PolitiTweet.org

You gotta feel a little bad for the House GOP social media guy whose job at 2:30 pm ET is to attack Biden for being too weak vs Putin ... and who then suddenly gets word at 3:30 pm ET that his job is to attack Biden for being too tough vs Putin — PolitiTweet.org

Some context: if those 4 yachts are worth some $600 million each, as thread suggests, together they add up to about one-third of the entire K-12 education budget of the Russian Federation. https://t.co/ZXPXU7Q1Yg — PolitiTweet.org

Tough but measured sanctions are the right way to respond to Russian actions thus far. Let Putin take the responsibility for driving past the exit ramps, US and NATO should keep those exits open until the final hour. — PolitiTweet.org

In 2015, my son and I took two weeks to tour the western WW1 front from Flanders to Verdun. On our last day, we toured the remains of the Maginot Line - and then drove through Luxembourg, lunched in Germany, and dropped off our rented car at Brussels Airport. It can work. — PolitiTweet.org

After centuries of bloodshed, Europe invented a solution to intractable ethnic and border problems: the European Union. You want to live as a German in Alsace? Fine! Buy a house and commute to Stuttgart. The solution is open to Russia too, if it will so choose. — PolitiTweet.org
