“Put more succinctly: Joe Kent is a grown-ass man who let a racist brat browbeat him into admitting on video that he does, in fact, share their white nationalist ideology, but that he doesn’t think it’s a good campaign strategy to say it out loud.” https://t.co/6HkFMNIHF4 — PolitiTweet.org

“But sociopathic sadism in the service of personal glorification may well be the hardest thing for civilized people to defeat or even fully to understand…Only Putin’s defeat will restore the world’s order and turn aside this barbarism.” https://t.co/MY6DAcoftn — PolitiTweet.org

“Ortega y Gasset once wrote that a barbarian was a person for whom no argument made a difference. The reason to be frightened, truly frightened, is that in Putin we’re dealing not with just an autocrat, not even exactly a maniac, but a true barbarian.” https://t.co/MY6DAcoftn — PolitiTweet.org

“Putin is likely to revert to his ugliest instincts. He will seek to make Ukraine like Chechnya. But it is already clear that he has suffered a moral defeat, and his savagery has strengthened Ukrainian statehood and western resolve.” https://t.co/JmmiM2aCkD — PolitiTweet.org

“The Kremlin has set informational conditions to blame Ukraine for a Russian-conducted or Russian-fabricated chemical or radiological false-flag attack against civilians as a pretext for further Russian escalation. That risk must be addressed.” https://t.co/ichD5pcfLL — PolitiTweet.org

DOD: “The transfer of combat aircraft right now could be mistaken by Mr. Putin and the Russians as an escalatory step." I trust we’re not conceding Putin a kind of veto on our acts based on his mistaken (or disingenuous) view that helping a nation he’s attacked is escalatory. — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

“As the ‘blitzkrieg’ is stalling, Putin is not folding but raising the stakes, unleashing boundless cruelty, no matter how brutal the sanctions. Putin will consolidate and up the ante while he negotiates, waiting for the West to lose cohesion & willpower.” https://t.co/1eyCHtsy4P — PolitiTweet.org

Russia invades a country, conducts brutal war against that (democratic) country, and we won’t provide that country weapons and in this case even discourage others from doing so? Why? We’re not a combatant in the war, but surely we’re not a neutral either. — PolitiTweet.org

Or: We’re doing well responding to the situation of two weeks ago. But we need to adjust in light of… 1. Ukrainian heroism & success. 2. The chance to inflict a major setback, even defeat, to Putin. 3. This war is now a real inflection point. This all argues for more boldness. — PolitiTweet.org

I know one sophisticated response to this is that true traditionalism is no longer traditionalism if it's a "choice" rather than a heritage. But I'm afraid, for better and worse, that ship has long ago sailed. And attempts to will it back into existence have been ugly failures. — PolitiTweet.org

By the way, if you're a true conservative and traditionalist and not just an angry hater of people different from you, you should welcome tech and globalization for enabling traditionalist life choices that were more difficult a few decades ago. In a word: neoliberalism, ftw. — PolitiTweet.org

Isn't it possible that the new regime of increased work from home, enabled by the communications and information tech revolution, will lead to more productivity gains, more leisure time, and all-in, greater welfare gains, than all recent government policy initiatives of any kind? — PolitiTweet.org
