@redicalcentrist @kamilkazani Putin could have had much more success than he's having now had he finished the job in 2017 or 18, but that would make trouble for his agent in the WH who was doing the very important job of undermining NATO. Never interrupt an enemy who is doing your bidding.

@redicalcentrist @kamilkazani I'll venture a guess: hubris + calculation. Ukraine was a pushover in 2014, Putin + world still believed Russian army was powerful+competent. 100% invasion/occupation unnecessary, install puppet gov't, delusion that many Ukrainians would accept/welcome Russian rule anyway.

Correct. But it lacks the context. On the same day, June 30 the Donetsk People's Republic ruler Pushilin signed the order № 338 prohibiting the free entrance of humanitarian aid from Russia to the DPR. NB: Much (most?) of this aid was not really humanitarian, but army supplies🧵

@kamilkazani love your threads but this 1 I can't fully get on board with. What exactly should be done about Putin other than don't help him escape this mess? Long on principles, short on tactics. Also can't agree with the assumption WW3 has already started, that kind of thinking gave us WW1.

Allies believed dove signals they're giving were safe. But they were super destructive. The more they projected dove behaviour, the more rational it was for Hitler to maximise hawkishness game theory-wise and scale up. That's how WWII happened and that's how WWIII will. End of🧵

How to defeat Putin? Many recognise the importance of coercive measures against Russia and necessity to give it a way out And yet, some presume that the way out should be given to Putin to force him to negotiate. That's a disastrous idea. There's no way he can roll back now🧵

@KariLake @RealMarkFinchem Donald Trump was the real winner of deep blue Pima County, sure that checks out

I agree with Mark. I was the first Gov Candidate to call for a state-wide forensic audit months ago. I believe we will see so much corruption in Maricopa County that citizens around Arizona will demand this. We want Fraud-Free Elections!

@christina_bobb @RealMarkFinchem @GeneralBrnovich what a clown you are

The 50,000+ fraudulent votes found in the AZ Audit is the floor. That number will get bigger as @GeneralBrnovich conducts a criminal investigation.

@AtTheHague well will ya look at that, you're a liar. Of course. mobile.twitter.com/MuellerSheWrot…

After eighteen years of active duty service in the US Army, my lieutenant colonel husband has resigned He’s walking away from all he’s worked for and believed in since he was an ROTC kid at UGA He’s walking away from his retirement His resignation memo:

@AtTheHague I call bullshit. If not one single MAGAt refused their Biden socialist stimulus check then I am 100% certain your husband didn't give up his pension and Tricare for the fleeting satisfaction of a futile tantrum.

@RichLowry 2/2 "As time erases the memory of their words, the naysayers will simply be willfully pessimistic about the next US intervention." RL, Townhall, 4/11/03

Like it or not, there's little doubt that if President Trump had gotten himself into this situation in Afghanistan, he would have instantly established leverage with the Taliban by making threats to hit them hard and relentlessly that they wouldn't have been able to ignore

@RichLowry 1/2 "The eternal frustration of political debate is that big, complicated issues take so long to play out that it’s difficult to tell who was right and who was wrong. Not so in the war in Iraq..."

@RichLowry "There is a connection between Iraq and Al-Qaeda. There is no division in the US government about this anymore. Everyone agrees there’s 10 years’ worth of contacts between Iraq and Al-Qaeda." RL, "Face The Nation", 2/23/03

@RichLowry "America roused to a righteous anger has always been a force for good. States that have been supporting, if not Osama bin Laden, people like him, need to feel pain. If we flatten part of Damascus or Tehran or whatever it takes, that is part of the solution." RL, wapo, 9/13/01

@RichLowry "Indeed, most of the fears of how Trump would act in office have been realized (everyone would have thought Jeb Bush was crazy if he had predicted a President Trump would fire a high-level Cabinet official via Twitter, and not even using direct message)." bit.ly/38ekKh6

@RichLowry It's a pity we can't literally order you to hang the rotting corpse of an Iraqi child around your neck every time you open your neoconservative liehole about foreign affairs. glenngreenwald.blogspot.com/2006/09/rich-l…

@vv1lder I am SHOCKED I TELL YOU that the anti-#cancelculture crowd was behind this

My statement on my termination from The Associated Press.

@LossieAlston @danbostic I am a Democrat and I ran a voter center in Maricopa County. Me and my team (half no party, R's slightly more than D's the rest) worked our butts off over 14 very long days to ensure everyone who deserved to vote, got a ballot. Even ungrateful assholes. You're welcome.

@danbostic That is a total fraud... it's not surprising though coming from the democrats 🙄

@danbostic 3) Nobody's ballot - NOBODY'S - at my site was rejected by the tabulator for using Sharpies. At the end of the night there were only 4 "misread" ballots out of 1620 cast using tabulators. 4)MC used vote centers ctywide not precincts. No possibility of targeting heavy-R precincts.

@danbostic I ran a voting site in Maricopa County. 1) Sharpies were given to EVERYBODY. 2) The people who were handing out the ballots and the Sharpies literally had no way to know who was an R and who was a D. They were not the ones checking in the voters. 1/2

@DanielDiMartino @mschlapp of grifters

What a pair! 😍

@stephanieduris1 @ASavageNation I bet you know a lot about how elections are run.

@ASavageNation Dems are doing what they do best...CHEAT!!! We must ensure a fair and just election!

ARE MAIL IN BALLOTS BEING MODIFIED AS WE SPEAK IN CORRUPT DEM DISTRICTS? have you heard about Dems distributing sharpie pens to Trump voters and then invalidating their ballots?

@sscoot123 @ASavageNation did Crazy Kari say if her ballot was accepted by the tabulator? If it was, then her ballot was counted. I'll bet several mortgage payments that it was and it was.
