I'm doing an experiment. On my computer, I am checking the latest tweets by people I follow. On my phone, I'm checking whether their most recent tweets are showing up in the "Following" column. I'm just getting started, but even in the first dozen cases, Twitter failed to show me — PolitiTweet.org

When voters are complaining, and political competitors respond with insincere bad-faith criticism, it's hard to remember the wise old advice: "Don't just do something. Sit there." But it's so often very good advice! https://t.co/7kJTDTrlEf END https://t.co/cKlJOx7DLl — PolitiTweet.org

500 million wasted dollars later, beef prices have declined. Meatpackers in 2023 are no less greedy than in 2021. The industry is no less concentrated than it was 2 years ago. (Or 20 years ago.) All that happened was that markets worked. As usual. https://t.co/4OFnUzzzKd — PolitiTweet.org
David Frum @davidfrum
The Biden beef plan was probably 90% cynical politics. "We must do something. This is something. Let's do this." But there was a dose of real anti-market thinking there too. Which, I wrote in 2021 was foolish, dangerous, and unnecessary. https://t.co/4OFnUzzzKd — PolitiTweet.org
David Frum @davidfrum
The Biden plan for beef amounted, basically, to $500 million in subsidies for smaller meatpackers in hopes that this would translate into more "resiliency" in the industry, more competition, and therefore lower prices. https://t.co/4OFnUzzzKd — PolitiTweet.org
David Frum @davidfrum
But the decline in beef prices should also warn the Biden administration against its own bad impulses. When beef prices spiked, the Biden administration blamed greed and collusion by meatpackers and vowed action. I wrote then how wrong this was https://t.co/4OFnUzzzKd — PolitiTweet.org
David Frum @davidfrum
The decline in beef prices is good news for consumers, obviously - and also probably good news politically for the Biden administration. https://t.co/7kJTDTrlEf 2/x https://t.co/5FKhiFJOMu — PolitiTweet.org

To put it more formally, Russia's preferences look like Russian victory > frozen conflict > continuing war > negotiations requiring concessions. The West can only "jump to negotiations" after it has denied Russia any hope of success from first three preferences. END — PolitiTweet.org

The way to get to negotiations is, therefore, to arm Ukraine to the point where Russian leaders fear defeat. The way to thwart negotiations is to withhold arms from Ukraine and leave Russia's leaders with hope they can preserve the status quo. 10/x — PolitiTweet.org
David Frum @davidfrum
To get to negotiations with Ukraine, Russia needs to genuinely fear that it could lose its war against Ukraine- lose catastrophically enough that negotiations become a less unacceptable alternative to Russia's leaders. 9/x — PolitiTweet.org
David Frum @davidfrum
What might induce Russia to change its established pattern and -for the first time- negotiate an end to a war that it started? Only one thing: fear that the war is trending in a direction even more unacceptable than any concessions necessary to end the war Russia started. 8/x — PolitiTweet.org
David Frum @davidfrum
The status quo is acceptable enough to post-Soviet Russia. So when prominent people urge negotiations now, they are urging a policy that would award Russia a good-enough win - and leave Ukraine broken and vulnerable to further Russian aggression/pressure. 7/x — PolitiTweet.org
David Frum @davidfrum
If the 2022 invasion of Ukraine were to end today, it would end as another "frozen conflict." From a Russian point of view, there'd be little to negotiate. They've still got Crimea, Donetsk, and Luhansk. They didn't colonize the rest of Ukraine, but they mauled and terrorized it. — PolitiTweet.org
David Frum @davidfrum
A reason that post-Soviet Russia's wars end as "frozen conflicts" is that they have ended on terms more or less satisfactory to Russian leadership. Russian leaders have never seen any need for a more formal resolution that might require some concession to adversaries. 5/x — PolitiTweet.org
David Frum @davidfrum
Instead, post-Soviet Russia's wars have tended to freeze into perpetual unresolved conflicts, with Russia retaining chunks of other people's territory - enduring international opprobrium - and waiting out any ensuing sanctions. 4/x — PolitiTweet.org
