escalation of the war Putin began with his illegal seizure of Crimea. The Chinese are watching carefully, with Taiwan 🇹🇼 in their sights. Naked aggression for territorial expansion, political control and cultural subjugation cannot be appeased. It must be turned into a disaster — PolitiTweet.org

Putin’s invasion will begin a catastrophe that will unfold in many different and unpredictable ways. It will be blood soaked. The Ukrainians must be given the lethal aid and cash to fight the Russian Bear. Successful aggression will beget more aggression as is evidenced by this — PolitiTweet.org

must be protected at all costs. This is the monstrous prelude to the world imagined in the recent joint Russian-Chinese communique. The combined economic might of the Democracies precisely targeted can destabilize Putin domestically. In short, make him bad for business. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

This is an excellent thread about what the Russians will do in response to the massive economic retaliation that must come. It will not be free for the West. In fact, it may be painful. However, it is the unraveling of the global order that emerged from the Second World War that — PolitiTweet.org

@LesPaul60 @mehdirhasan What do you think we would see that we don’t know already? Stressed and overworked First responders? Exhausted MD’s and RN’s? Unnecessary death? The hum of ventilators? Crying? Praying? I get it. The people in the beds are unvaccinated. That is what put them there. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

@2old2fool @RadioFreeTom @mehdirhasan It is a tragedy. Is it an emergency? No, It is a choice. There is a vaccine. It is a free country. The job of government from my perspective is to protect us from each other, not ourselves. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

@51_sdwms @PatrickW @RadioFreeTom @mehdirhasan I am sorry for your loss and his family. He would be alive if he had taken the vaccine. He did not. I don’t understand the causality between his death and mandates on vaccinated individuals. — PolitiTweet.org

@xpflyr The American people on the home front didn’t suffer much during the Second World War. It was a full employment economy and by the time the war ended the American economy was the most dominant economic power in human history — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

@mehdirhasan I guess I’m trying to understand what you would like to see maintained or imposed or mandated and by what level of authority. It’s unclear to me. I’m with you on all of the insanity that has brought us to this point. In the end everything requires cooperation and we’ve peaked. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

@JulieGrey13 no. Americans should be leaving Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

@ExistentialYowl Who do you think is responsible for that and what do you think the remedy is. Part one for me is the unvaccinated population and most acutely the instigators of the misinformation. — PolitiTweet.org

and events only move forward. Our Covid Present needs to yield to something new and better. The malice and incompetence of the conspiracy theorists and politicians who killed hundreds of thousands unnecessarily should never be forgiven or forgotten — PolitiTweet.org

rally the whole to a common effort, request sacrifice and maintain basic trust. I share @mehdirhasan’s anger and disbelief about all of this but I think asking what comes next with all of this isn’t unreasonable. Nothing will go back to normal if for no other reason that time — PolitiTweet.org

our politics by giving succor to the dishonest autocratic cause that feels more emboldened to lie and gaslight with each passing day. We live in an era where our politicians generally lack the stature to unite the nation, communicate the requirements of citizenship and duty, — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

We are going to need to get back to some live and let live in this country. We are going to need to figure out how to give each other some space and benefit of the doubt. The restrictions on daily life must come to an end if for no other reason that they are further destabilizing — PolitiTweet.org

it when I am asked by a business or restaurant owner whose business I am patronizing. I wear it when there are young children and the elderly in proximity. I used to skydive. I stopped when my kids were young. I’m going to start again soon. Everyone has a different risk calculus — PolitiTweet.org

Steve Schmidt @SteveSchmidtSES

I am not scientifically inclined but I am not sure the Covid death rate is derivative or caused by masking or not. I hate the mask but wear it because life for actual adults is filled with doing shit you don’t like doing. I wear it where I am required by law or regulation. I wear — PolitiTweet.org

We have a profound childhood mental health crisis in the country. Isolation, loneliness, disconnection and the inability to see a human smile have great cost and that cost will be borne with a harvest of yet more anger in our polity. What are we to do now? Perhaps it is because — PolitiTweet.org

10/ a similarity with Prohibition in that it has been a great revealer of hypocrisy within the caste of elite America. So here we are. It may wind up being the case that it will require years of boosters to prevent unnecessary death from Covid. Distance learning was a catastrophe — PolitiTweet.org

9/ consensus that we wear it when stand and take it off when we sit. This is the basic rule for air travel. So long as one is eating or drinking, I suppose Covid doesn’t spread? Could it be that is the air filtration systems and not the mask that protects on a plane? Covid shares — PolitiTweet.org

8/ isn’t and I’m not. It is out of our control. When I go outside here is what I see. Most people are maskless. Some wear it over half of their mouth leaving the nose uncovered. When I go into a restaurant in a masked jurisdiction it seems the societal mean has settled on the — PolitiTweet.org

7/ saddle it, and ride it. They were all willingly consumed by it and betrayed the truth, their oath, the American people and the Constitution in the end. So what do we do now? I think it is unfair to say that @RadioFreeTom is ok with thousands of people dying every week. He — PolitiTweet.org
