None of the reasons countries generally hold to treaties apply to Russia.

1. Consequences and Enforcement

Never faced any.

2. Investment in the legal order

Has none.

3. Fear of Reputational Damage

Still gets approached.

4. Preference for Compromise

Views as weakness.

'Whether cheering on an attempted insurrection, or pointing out that's bad, both candidates are guilty of politicising January 6th.'

I would just quit now New York Times Pitchbot, you're never going to beat this.

Yes, but to be fair this is because the world's military superpowers are:

1️⃣ In fierce disagreement over what and who represents a threat;

2️⃣ Reticent to lend military might to UN global security efforts; &

3️⃣ Happy the system they designed requires their consent to act.

Niche tweet but if you're in trade policy, interested in the latest developments in India, and not following Shantanu you're missing out on timely, insightful and well written analysis.

He's also a lovely guy, if that helps at all.

It's immensely lucrative to have someone use their foreign capital to spend years buying things in your shops while also paying exorbitant sums to hang out as the 127th person in a class your universities were probably going to teach anyway.

The US military failing at nation building in Iraq and Afghanistan seems to have led some to forget it's still incredibly good at its primary purpose of absolutely annihilating enemies.

A grifter industrial complex sharing memes about American weakness probably helped too.

Twitter is this fascinating circular ecosystem where there are huge rewards for posting the most insane, hyperbolic, and reductionist position on anything, but also huge rewards for dunking on people doing that.

Ignoring this to write another 22,000 words in Foreign Policy on how vital it is we support the Russian opposition.

All seven of them.

The concepts of 'malaria' and 'disease' were inventions of the liberal NGO complex in the 1990s. If you're not aware of the giant web of government, corporate, and foundation funding that pours into liberal 'malaria' nonprofits, look it up sometime

I am SO smart.

'Whether it's the Republican Former President and current Presumptive 2024 Nominee speaking at their national convention, or EatTheRichZaddy37 tweeting, both sides have an extremism problem.'

This is a great thread.

One of the smarter things Putin did last year was send some minor cronies with absolutely no mandate to 'negotiate' a deal he had no intention of signing.

This cost him nothing but bought him thousands of 'West sabotaged peace' tweets from Sacks and Co.

Whatever your views on the importance of the UK having regulatory and legislative independence from the EU, the consistent failure of the Brexit project's cheerleading stewards to come up with anything remotely viable to do with that autonomy is humiliating negligence.

If true, there's a delicious irony to Iran arming and pushing the Houthis into attacking merchant shipping only to have the first major cargo loss at sea be a shipment of their own Shahed terror drones aboard a Russian military vessel.
