Don’t agree with every single detail of this thread but it’s read right on the big picture — supportive propaganda is fine but to succeed you need ideas that work based on analysis that makes sense. https://t.co/js4JK3qfz0

I waited a day to respond to @paulkrugman’s latest column to see if sleeping on it would temper my negative reaction. It didn’t.

The West now has no choice but to impose immediate, severe, and intense sanctions on Russia, and to unite as much of the world as possible in pressing Russia to end the attack.

So congress mandated that a bunch of military aid be sent to Ukraine on a large bipartisan vote. Then Trump illegally held up that aid to try to get the Ukrainian government to frame Joe Biden’s son. Then Graham decided that was no big deal. https://t.co/u33j8fTg0H

Two dueling narratives right now.
(1) Putin is irrational madman, can’t be reasoned with
(2) Putin’s motivations are ugly but comprehensible in national interest, security-focused, great power politics terms

While this is a funny headline, it's worth noting that Putin's approval rating among Republicans was still only 18%, so sympathy toward Putin expressed by Trump or Tucker Carlson or whomever else has real potential to split the Republican coalition.

Russian military is bombing hospitals in Ukraine, health minister Viktor Liashko said. "This is a violation of Geneva convention, a shameful and cowardly act. Such actions by the occupiers put civilian lives in danger and contradict principles of international humanitarian law'

The intelligence that Biden made public in a highly unusual step gave the world a preview of Vladimir Putin’s true intentions, robbing him of the element of surprise
Now Biden is saying that Putin's ambitions are beyond just Ukraine
