@slantchev 1/x Not only is his analysis severely simplistic & deeply flawed, it's also self-refuting. The history of interstate war termination is pretty consistent. Belligerents refuse to talk until they believe through experience, that they can no longer improve their position. It's bc

@CherylRofer @gnuggat1 Which is both reason for concern and worry. Deapite alarmism, experts like @russianforces and yourself ( @CherylRofer ) have stated a radiological event would very likely be highly local. A serious catasteophe is not in the cards.

@PhillipsPOBrien This is pure speculation but given what I have gleaned and been told about UA strategic thinking, it's possible UA doesn't have a specific axis in mind per se but will operate on multiple fronts and reinforce points where they opportunities to exploit.

-multiple axis of advance across the front with smaller armor & light forces threatening several areas, with a large reserve ready to exploit success. Those - and perhaps a few others I could provide but won’t - are all potential courses of action (COA’s) 9/

@DemocracyDocket Because competent and experienced attorneys probably aren't inclined to signing onto frivolous and meritless lawsuits that carry risks of sanctions, I'd imagine.

@maklelan Many problematic passages of the bible don't really require a deep academic understanding, but Christian apologists try to obfuscate by saying the meaning is more complicated then they actually are. Oftentimes, the historic context supports the plain meaning.

@nycsouthpaw @HarrisPeskin The supervisors know the law. They've been told very clearly. They know the outcome isn't going to be changed. They know they are going to be sued and forced to certify or face criminal/civil sanctions. It makes no sense.

@andriyhaydash It's not an invasion. It's a "special military operation" to protect Ukrainian speakers in Kursk Oblast, which is part of historic Ukraine and is within Kyiv's natural sphere of influence. RU shouldn't resist, and accept the fait accompli of the inevitable referendum when the

We'll see what happens, but I think its fair to argue that the odds of a Ukraine supplemental passage just passed the 50% mark. Fingers crossed.

@RadioFreeTom Craven and tepid responses like this are dangerous because it normalizes authoritarianism. Trump called for the end of the constitutional order, an extralegal coup, and Round merely says people "shouldn't threaten to terminate it." Semi-loyal behavior.

@GergelyOrosz It's a for-profit company masquarading as a non-profit. It started as a non-profit, but that wasn't enough to raise revenue. If your revenue is dependent on the for-profit subsidiary, you're at the mercy of investors. That's one reason the Altman coup failed.

A significant reason we are where we are today, is in fact because the US enables Israel's worse impulses with its unconditional support, regardless of its strategic merits. To attach string & draw red lines isn't weakening a relation. It's about protecting national interests.

Conditioning aid to Israel is a slippery slope toward abolishing aid altogether—which has long been the objective of Israel’s leading detractors in DC. America’s singular ally in the Middle East has suffered the single deadliest invasion in its history at the hands of Hamas, a
