@TimothyDSnyder How does the war end? It ends, suggests @TimothyDSnyder, either with the Russian army walking home - and the whole question ahead is how orderly will that walk be? — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

@TimothyDSnyder In many ways, the choice for Russia in October/November 2022 is reminiscent of that faced by Imperial Germany in October/November 1918: sacrifice a kaiser to preserve what remains of the army? or wreck the remains of the army and risk true social revolution at home? — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

@TimothyDSnyder Russia will soon confront the choice whether to keep fighting - and risk the dissolution of its army and collapse of the whole regime - or withdraw the army while there's still an army to withdraw. — PolitiTweet.org

Astute by @TimothyDSnyder : we're not headed toward a nuclear crisis over Ukraine, but toward a regime crisis inside Russia. https://t.co/MhBrP5d2uD — PolitiTweet.org

Which reminds of this great parody, the Gettysburg address in Eisenhower-ese: "I haven’t checked these figures but 87 years ago, I think it was, a number of individuals organized a governmental set-up here in this country, I believe it covered certain Eastern areas ..." https://t.co/kFy8e6PwWW — PolitiTweet.org

"Well. Certainly. I will go back to that subject long enough to say this. I cannot say that there will not, because I don't know. But I do say, that if anyone is predicting it ... they have information that I do not have." - Eisenhower on a Chinese attack on Taiwan, 3/30/55. — PolitiTweet.org

Are you president of the United States? Has someone asked you a question about nuclear threats? Learn from Ike - and dare to be boring. It takes hard work and discipline, but the results are worth it. https://t.co/le8Hz0Dfuz — PolitiTweet.org

The problem with the "exit ramp" idea is not the lack of ramp, the problem is Putin's murderous disdain for exit. — PolitiTweet.org

The West keeps trying to build Putin an off-ramp and he keeps willfully blocking it with the rubble of the civilian apartment buildings he destroys https://t.co/8bH16g3fsE — PolitiTweet.org

@djrothkopf He's a small man atop a backward state that fields a derelict army. His only world-competitive assets are propaganda and nuclear threats. Even the propaganda isn't working any more. His Western stooges turn instead to promoting ball-tanning and Elon-fanning. So threats are it. — PolitiTweet.org
