"The shift in attitudes has been vertigo-inducing, but it remains to be seen whether it will stick. The tendency toward complacency and denial is strong...One way we’ll know if the democracies have truly grappled with the moment is what they do on energy." https://t.co/rzZUCAoZET — PolitiTweet.org

"Biden has his faults. But Biden believes in democracy and the rule of law. He believes that the free world must stand together. He believes that Americans should treat one another as compatriots, not enemies...Trump believes none of this." https://t.co/tuUiB8iWqO — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

"What does America stand for? This week, the world heard two very different answers. The first was delivered on Saturday by Trump...The second was offered on Tuesday by Biden...Biden defended American values. Trump derided and dismissed them." https://t.co/tuUiB8iWqO — PolitiTweet.org

"He taught all of us who counted him a friend how to love the works that give access to human greatness...He was happy while teaching tragedy, and if I have said anything worthwhile here, it is only because I am happy in remembering him" https://t.co/am4kKJ4Yda — PolitiTweet.org

"A few people in a small room ignite movements...Small gatherings around impassioned causes, bringing together an array of viewpoints united around a critical priority, change the world. It starts with ideas, then passion, organization and action." https://t.co/d9rM8OacJm — PolitiTweet.org

"We face a situation of enormous gravity, but a Russian win or an ambiguous outcome is completely intolerable. Enough. If a peaceful, rules-based order is to continue to exist in Europe, this aggression cannot stand." https://t.co/weNw0SNWIF — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

"The questions involved are agonizing, but they do not get any easier if we avoid relevant decisions. Neither is the question a binary one of either staying out and providing assistance from the sidelines, or jumping all-in with U.S. troops." https://t.co/weNw0SNWIF — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

"Before the invasion, President Biden and other Western leaders essentially ruled out the use of direct force in Ukraine. The reasons were understandable...Still, the decision was made in a different geopolitical environment from the one we now inhabit." https://t.co/weNw0SNWIF — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

"To put the cancerous phantasmagory of Russian imperial nostalgia to rest...it is not enough that Ukrainians fight the Kremlin to a stalemate and then reach an unsatisfying political settlement; Russia must unequivocally, transparently lose this war." https://t.co/weNw0SNWIF — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

"Just as Putin’s calculation that the takeover of Ukraine would be quick and relatively costless was wrong, it would be a mistake to assume the decisiveness of the West’s actions and global public opinion will guarantee a swift resolution to the crisis." https://t.co/weNw0SNWIF — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

A thoughtful and balanced piece by @DonnellyGiselle on Ukraine and the no-fly zone temptation--but it's a piece that also suggests why the no-fly zone possibility, or some version of it, should not be rejected out of hand. https://t.co/XwhaoEJCGp — PolitiTweet.org

"On Monday McCarthy said it was 'appalling and wrong' for Greene to speak at a white-nationalist, pro-Putin, event...McCarthy added: 'There's no place in our party for any of this. This is unacceptable.' On Tuesday, he was just too busy to talk about her." https://t.co/1DdtfNozoc — PolitiTweet.org

Bill Kristol @BillKristol

"Putin’s nihilism is challenged by Ukrainians, but it’s foolish to think he will have an epiphany...I don’t believe that talk of a face-saving off-ramp is realistic at this time...Putin made his choices. It’s time for everyone else to make their own." https://t.co/SmU5SvaEV2 — PolitiTweet.org

"The first order of business is to thwart Putin and make sure he can't succeed...But let's think big...We've thought that democracy has been in retreat and authoritarians have been on the march. This is the point in time to stop it and reverse the trend." https://t.co/q1HFBbsRUF https://t.co/X2cxdx3gej — PolitiTweet.org

Moving and powerful piece by @NataliaAntonova. "Closed off in his palaces, surrounded by a circle of pliant yes-men in expensive suits, men made rich like shiny ticks off the Kremlin’s corruption, Putin does not see Ukrainians. But the world does." https://t.co/SmU5SvaEV2 — PolitiTweet.org

"What could happen in Russia?...The unpopularity of this war is going to grow...The Russians who don’t want their country to be an evil empire—maybe their numbers will expand enough to matter. Maybe they will change the nature of their state too." https://t.co/WAAEsSByHi — PolitiTweet.org

Yesterday. Kevin McCarthy on Marjorie Taylor Greene speaking at a white supremacist event: "Appalling and wrong...This is unacceptable." Today. Kevin McCarthy: "I commented on that yesterday. I've already commented on that." Tomorrow. (quietly): Actually, it's acceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

A sociopathic dictator’s propagandists talking about solving the “Ukrainian question” has a certain terrible resonance. https://t.co/ubk3ZCZzW9 — PolitiTweet.org

“If the RNC has substantive disagreements…it should air them and try to convince the administration to do better…But the RNC conducts itself as a propaganda outlet…whose allegiance isn’t to America, but to the narrow interests of Republican meme wars.” https://t.co/vu7G1R1dw5 — PolitiTweet.org

Never forget. Less than a week ago, Donald Trump expressed admiration for Vladimir Putin: “This is genius. How smart is that? And he’s going to go in and be a peacekeeper, that’s the strongest peace force—we could use that on our southern border.” — PolitiTweet.org

NEW. How should the West respond to Putin’s war on Ukraine? What dangers and opportunities might we face in the days and weeks ahead? How might the war reshape geopolitics? No one better with whom to discuss this extraordinary moment than Eric Edelman. https://t.co/q1HFBbsRUF — PolitiTweet.org
