Useful counter-narrative argument that Putin is actually showing some restraint in his bombing (ie could be worse) to create some room for negotiation. https://t.co/EE46X79Q8y

It’s almost as if @Twitter now has a big suppression bureaucracy that has to treat quotidian controversies (eg KBJ hearings) as if they were Hunter’s laptop with the 2020 election hanging in the balance. If they don’t find new things to censor what are they going to do all day?

Maybe the idea really was to send a message to Kamala https://t.co/WndQjjduyg But that’s the WH’s interest. Why would *authors* want to do it now? Maybe to please WH sources; maybe they knew MSM would play it up now–and others might be chosen to carry the message if they balked. https://t.co/5omGWGWM6B

.@nfergus argument is that #2 is Biden’s strategy, not #1.
#3 could be directed at a deal, or at grand world-pivotal Putin collapse. But only really makes sense for the latter (otherwise big risk for relatively small payoff). https://t.co/9i1UlnVaQO— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey)

So 3 positions (may have this wrong):
1) Help Ukraine as we’re helping. Don’t risk escalation. Negotiate a neutrality deal to end war
2) Same as 1 except DON’T negotiate, keep war going to “bleed” Putin so he falls
3) Do more to help UA, even if risks escalation-eg No-fly zones https://t.co/eiU9h46k6a— Mickey Kaus (@kausmickey)

You talking about this? https://t.co/6Owa1KWkmF Odd, hollow piece. Most Americans want Ukraine to win. But 1) Should we fear nuclear war? No, because Putin “wants us to be afraid.” Easy! 2) How to win? She punts that to “those who best understand diplomacy and military strategy.” https://t.co/76R2Hf66m0
