Early in the war, advocates of pressuring Zelensky to give land for peace argued that we had to do so because Putin was so strong. Today, they say we have to do so because Putin is so weak. (That they continue to assign us this imperial role to the US is also noted.) — PolitiTweet.org

There's a new cottage industry comparing the Cuban missile crisis to today. In your analogizing, please remember a few obvious facts. Khrushchev did not invade or annex a country. Also, he was seeking to deter, not attack, the U.S. These differences matter. — PolitiTweet.org

На Путина не «давят» его пропагандисты. Они работают на него! Точно так же ему не «угрожают» ястребы из ближнего круга, вроде Патрушева. Это то, во что Путин хочет, чтобы вы верили. Но его режим работает не так. — PolitiTweet.org

I see very little evidence that Russian society would support let alone cheer for any of the hothead imperialists shouting for an expansion of the war in Ukraine. If you see such evidence, post links. I’m ready to learn. — PolitiTweet.org

It is the job of intelligence officers to assess probabilities about security outcomes, including nuclear war. My guess is that those estimates are still very low. But even if they are at 0.1 percent, the job of policymakers is to shape and decrease these probabilities. 1/ THREAD — PolitiTweet.org
