second of every day. The summer of the shark and Gary Condit prefaced a Sunny Tuesday morning just over 20 years ago. Whatever this moment is, it will soon be intruded upon should war come. There is a simple truth in all of this. This war will feel a lot closer to American shores — PolitiTweet.org

Isn’t just good science and medicine but a declaration of political virtue and loyalty to a cause greater than self. The cause of course is whatever Trump or a bevy of lesser apostles spout at any given moment. All of this is out in the open, it plays out as a tragic farce every — PolitiTweet.org

Strategy of all future state conflict in much the way air tactics were honed through Italian and German aggression in 1930’s Spain and Ethiopia. The ability to communicate clear narratives will be a strategic issue in the looming war. @potus should address the people of Russia — PolitiTweet.org

Western Alliance will need to immediately shift from avoiding conflict to aiding efforts to ensure maximum cost is inflicted on the Russians. Deterrence must be reestablished. @IgnatiusPost is correct about this being the World’s first cyber war. It will shape the tactics and — PolitiTweet.org

👇 This column by @IgnatiusPost is a brilliant explication of Putin’s gamble and the West’s coming test. The western alliance must show steel and resolve in the face of horror that will come from 21st Century War in Europe. Can it ? Will it ? Should war come the task of the — PolitiTweet.org

The difference between today and twenty years ago is basically that 20 years ago you would have to find a tier b parking lot to find someone talking so much crazy. Today you can watch it on a mini tv 📺 in your hand. Progress! I’m really curious about the head bobbing nodder. — PolitiTweet.org

thousand endings. There seems to be a demand for expedient endings and clean finales in all things, including War. Russian Wars don’t have clean endings any more than American wars do. What comes after them is hard to predict. — PolitiTweet.org

European War that will be brutal, deadly and unpredictable. Why are wars fought? Often they are triggered by miscalculations around the cost of aggression. Other times they begin because the aggressor has determined the prize is worth the cost. Putin sees the world — PolitiTweet.org

This is a superb episode of an excellent podcast stacked deep with national security expertise and historical insights. Personally, think it is premature to declare that “Putin underestimated Biden and Nato”. I hope that is correct. I fear it is not. A massive escalation means a — PolitiTweet.org

the first war of 2022. The world that was remade after 100 million people were killed in a global war that ended 77 years ago this September is coming undone. The hinges of history are opening a new era and the events that will shape the world that comes next are underway. — PolitiTweet.org

Putin is keenly aware of the old adage that “possession is 9/10ths of the law”. He needs to make his action a fait accompli as quickly as possible. His position in Russia will deteriorate commensurate with how many young Russians return from the Ukrainian Front in body bags. — PolitiTweet.org

of Putin’s control is how hard the battle hardened Ukrainian Army will be able to fight and resist. Putin knows he has to move fast if he decides to act. Speed will be the key. He knows he cannot get bogged down and put the Russian Army into a stalemate. — PolitiTweet.org

This man titled his autobiography AMERICAN. He was a great man and Patriot whose toughness, perseverance, leadership and dignity are awe inspiring.
