Predicting the future is hard, especially during periods of state breakdown, revolution, and regime change. The CIA isn't good at it. Political science isn't good at it. Those making definitive predictions now about Afghanistan in 5 years' time should be a little more humble. — PolitiTweet.org

Americans think that we won the Cold War. Actually, Russian citizens (and others who rose up against Soviet tyranny) played а central role too. Those brave Russians who defeated the coup attempt thirty years ago provided the final period to the Cold War era. Thank you! Спасибо! https://t.co/oC73JK0aX6 — PolitiTweet.org

I just had the honor of speaking at the Sakharov Center in Moscow on the 30th anniversary of the failed coup attempt in the USSR. To those who defeated that coup, thank you! Спасибо! Your bravery ended the Cold War. All small d democrats around the world are indebted to you. — PolitiTweet.org

By this logic you should smoke while healthy, but then treat your cancer? Not use sunscreen while healthy, but treat your cancer later? Dont wear a seatbelt while healthy, but then treat your injuries after a car accident? I don't get it. — PolitiTweet.org

It is not "pretty risky." There are no data to support your hypothesis. There are tons of data showing the dangers -- sometimes fatal dangers -- of not getting vaccinated. Prevention, in so many different aspects of life, saves lives. — PolitiTweet.org

No one remembers how badly you performed in the 1st quarter if you pick it up in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th, and win the game. Biden can still win the evacuation game by executing in the coming weeks. But that means getting all out who want out & not leaving prematurely. — PolitiTweet.org

Don't be fooled by those who say it is not in American "strategic interests" to help women's activists in Afghanistan. Great power competition with China & Russia today is not defined only by soldiers but also by values. “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere" -MLK — PolitiTweet.org

The Taliban has not lived up to their commitments, so why we should be constrained? August 31st is an artificial deadline. We must finish our humanitarian evacuation, leave no one behind, for as long as it takes, and if need be, dare the Taliban the stop us. — PolitiTweet.org
