They have sacrificed social status and language facility to try a new life. They are determined to make their own way - and to provide for those they love by their own labor. They believe in America. Their unwavering cheerfulness despite obstacles has fortified my own belief too. — PolitiTweet.org

@Ibishblog @stevenacook The Cook review makes point that Israel/UAE deal was well in works pre-Trump and pre-Kushner. "When I ran into a former Israeli minister in Dubai late in 2021, I asked him if it was his first visit to the UAE. He looked at me oddly and said, 'Steven, this is my 33rd visit.'" — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

For now, Russia still has assets to bargain with: its hold on Crimea and eastern Ukraine, gas flows to EU this winter. Those assets are dwindling, and every atrocity is a new liability charged against those assets. Nuclear threats only make Russia's bargaining position worse. — PolitiTweet.org

Defeated authoritarian regimes have a way of unraveling. Their forces become ineffective not only at foreign aggression, but domestic repression as well. See Russian empire 1905. — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

Russian leaders are also deluded if they imagine they will remain as easily in control of their own society after a military defeat of this scale. See fates of Argentine generals after Falklands 1982; Greek junta after Cyprus 1974. Defeat+ continuing sanctions? Even worse outlook — PolitiTweet.org

David Frum @davidfrum

When this war ends, Russia will still need to negotiate the lifting of western sanctions. New EU candidate member Ukraine will have a powerful veto over sanctions-relief. Russian leaders are deluded if they imagine they can just withdraw and sulk. — PolitiTweet.org

Atrocities on the retreat don't improve a defeated aggressor's position on the battlefield. They do substantial harm to the defeated aggressor's future negotiating position when he must sue for peace. — PolitiTweet.org
