I understand why we’re pulling out our military personnel, including trainers. Still it does send an unfortunate message. We’d presumably prefer to leave them there until the last minute to show we don’t accept the inevitability of invasion. Unless this really is the last minute. — PolitiTweet.org

“I’m also a Thoreau guy at heart. And so I believe in his maxim: ‘Simplify, simplify.’ Or as he’d have put it if he’d taken his own advice: ‘Simplify.’ We have a lot in this world to fight against already…Why fight ourselves when we don’t have to?” https://t.co/qAQMQSiQr9 — PolitiTweet.org

This is the current U.S. Special Envoy for Afghan Women, Girls, and Human Rights. It's admirable that a senior Biden Administration official is speaking out. Isn't there more, though, we could do to help--even if only to help people get out? — PolitiTweet.org

And Putin saw Afghanistan: "No more forever wars!" And he heard almost fifteen years of American presidents proclaiming, "It is time to focus on nation-building at home." All of this could suggest to impressionable dictators that our response to aggression might not be robust. — PolitiTweet.org

How did Putin get here? What lessons did he learn from: --Georgia 2008/Ukraine 2014 --U.S. Syria red line 2013/Russian intervention 2015 --Murdering dissidents in Moscow/poisoning across Europe --Intervening in foreign elections/disinformation campaigns --& more? No consequences. — PolitiTweet.org

"There is no conservative philosophical attachment to freedom or liberty any more than there is an integralist or populist love of the common good. There is only power." Read the whole thing--and the whole newsletter, from @JVLast. https://t.co/jKZdP8oAwC — PolitiTweet.org

I suspect this opinion is in fact pretty popular. In any case, it's correct. There's a division of labor--some are better situated to fight the illiberalism of the Left, others of the Right. And we can argue about their relative danger. But the fight is one fight on two fronts. — PolitiTweet.org

"KIMMAGE: No. What would change the dynamic would be the provision of air power and of US troops to Ukraine. That could stop Putin." To be clear: Prof. Kimmage is not advocating this. But it's important for the sake of intellectual clarity to grasp this. https://t.co/7YD3OHy5wG — PolitiTweet.org

“A Europe in which borders and sovereignty are poker chips on a big table, which a few players can rearrange at will, is the Europe of the 1920s and 1930s -- an unstable playground in which nobody is safe, nobody secure and in which nothing is certain.” https://t.co/7YD3OHy5wG — PolitiTweet.org
