Tomorrow. Tuesday morning, an extensive talk about Ukraine on @cspanwj. Stop seeing this as a "Ukraine problem". There will always be a Belarus or Ukraine or Syria problem if the Putin problem isn't dealt with. — PolitiTweet.org

Congratulations on one year, #SistersInLaw. Happy to have been a guest and best of luck in your second year. @JillWineBanks — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Great, so what are you waiting for? Russia already invaded Ukraine. People are dying and Putin is preparing another attack. If you wait until he attacks, he won't suddenly stop after sanctions because he'd look unacceptably weak. Vaccinate, don't treat. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

To shamelessly think and do what others will not is a demagogue's greatest power. Responses from the normal and naïve are "he would never really do X" & "if he boasts about it, how can it be wrong/illegal?" They keep pushing that window of what's acceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

As Kruse said, and as I and others with experience pointed out in 2015, Trump saying and doing terrible, even illegal things openly makes many people doubt they are so bad. It tests the system of norms, the willingness to enforce the laws. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Demagogues have a big advantage in places unused to them, as they are filtered and normalized by media, institutions, and by our own habits and assumptions. The whole time, they are telling us exactly what they are. — PolitiTweet.org

Sanctions and other measures must come now, before Putin invades again, not after. If he doesn't believe you will ever call his bluff, it's not really a bluff at all. The attack isn't inevitable if you change Putin's calculus with action, not words. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

This is the underlying issue with how democracies so often fail to deal with dictators and demagogues, abroad and at home. There's no good faith, just pure self-interest. They advance until stopped. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Putin thinks he can weaken sanctions, prevent their enforcement, call on his many friends and sympathizers in the free world. He believes this because he has been doing it for years already. He takes territory by force and waits out the consequences. Act now. Help now. — PolitiTweet.org

Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63

Threats of what the US will do IF Putin invades Ukraine again are a waste of time. He’s sure he can endure more sanctions because they take time and bureaucracy. Who knows, maybe his pal Trump will come back and take his side, as Tucker Carlson recommends. https://t.co/p1HQFZ1L5K — PolitiTweet.org

Navalny movie wins award at Sundance. Great, but dissidents should receive real political support from the free world instead of waiting for audience support! Saudi money worked to block Khashoggi documentary, hope platforms are braver here. https://t.co/trZ2yO4Su6 — PolitiTweet.org

The bigger issue is that Tucker is also rooting for Russia in its conflict with America. More than just rooting, in fact. https://t.co/YI8RnCgd2W — PolitiTweet.org

Millions of Canadians with Ukrainian heritage, and Canada has been relatively good in standing up for the international rule of law—until now. What unseen influence does Putin have to explain this weakness if not corruption and commerce? — PolitiTweet.org

Our guests were from places that don't have democracy to take for granted, China & Iran, and where democracy recently vanished, Russia & Venezuela, and where one dictator fell only to see another rise, Zimbabwe. Read more: https://t.co/kruXAnvCyV — PolitiTweet.org

While our guests are truly on the front lines, America and other democracies can find themselves in a hard battle for their rights and freedoms with little warning. Much of our focus was on what must be done to support these essential ingredients at home. — PolitiTweet.org
