"In addition, many challenges from China’s rise today have little in common with the Cold War and therefore require creative strategic thinking, not simply dusting off the Cold War playbook." 5/ — PolitiTweet.org

"This new hegemonic paradigm also forgets (whether consciously or unconsciously) that containment was not a single, consistent US strategy but stretched to mean everything from détente with Kremlin communists to rolling back communism around the developing world." 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Advocates for a new Cold War w/ China also underplay the costs & mistakes of the actual Cold War—a tragic era that resulted in millions of deaths, including tens of thousands of Americans, support for autocracies in both the East and West & billions of dollars spent inefficiently — PolitiTweet.org

Are we entering a new Cold War with China (and Russia)? Yes and no. Can we learn from the Cold War to develop smart strategies to contain & engage China & Russia? Yes & no. Is it complicated? Yes! THREAD 1/. — PolitiTweet.org

Many many months ago, I remember my first conversation with @noUpside about the impending onslaught of anti-vax disinformation about to explode online. I could not believe it. It sounded so irrational. Wow, was I so wrong and she was so right. — PolitiTweet.org

@misskimberlyha1 The vast majority of people who are vaccinated are protected from those who are not. But not all. And even when you do get sick without symptoms, you have to quarantine for 10 days. Thats hard on those trying to make a living. — PolitiTweet.org
