Putin has however given new life to an old Soviet joke: "In light of changing times, the schools are revising their language instruction." "Really?" "Yes. They will teach English and Hebrew for those planning to leave - and Chinese to those planning to stay." — PolitiTweet.org

@ulrichspeck One more thing West can do to deter Russian nuclear aggression: make clear that every single person in the Russian nuclear command, from all the generals down to all the private soldiers, will be held personally and individually liable before future tribunals for any nuclear use — PolitiTweet.org

A lesson of this conflict is how much alliances matter - and how powerful the wealthy democracies can be when they act in concert. — PolitiTweet.org

The world is a lot *less* unipolar than it was this time last year. Putin has pushed European Union to discover itself as a great economic-financial power. UK has shown freedom of action, in the lead on arming Ukraine. Japan, etc. Putin's problem: they're all on Ukraine's side — PolitiTweet.org

@ulrichspeck 2) The West's inventory of economic retaliation is nowhere near exhausted. Russian assets have been frozen, not confiscated. Russian shipping still moves. Russian planes can still use airways. Dangerous tools, but against a nuclear-terror state, they become thinkable — PolitiTweet.org

@ulrichspeck The higher Russia climbs up the escalation ladder, the more deterrents it will find up there. Just two examples off top of head ... 1) Ukraine has thus far refrained from commando strikes inside Russia: infiltrating agents to blow up dams, disable oil fields, etc. Also 2 ... — PolitiTweet.org

For my parents' generation, it was the work of a lifetime to get African art *into* the western museum. Today, a new generation is working to get the art back out again. My latest in @TheAtlantic https://t.co/PDot3dY8pX — PolitiTweet.org

@TheAtlantic I like and enjoy Twitter. But there are complicated and difficult issues that need to be explored with space and time. I tried to do that here with the often ferocious topic of the repatriation of art to its places of origin https://t.co/PDot3dXAAp — PolitiTweet.org

The Benin bronzes are the most famous and valuable trove of African art in the world. Western museums have pledged to return hundreds of them to Nigeria. But to whom? And how will they be protected or exhibited? I report on what happens next @TheAtlantic https://t.co/PDot3dXAAp — PolitiTweet.org
