The US and European public are blissfully unaware of the power and scale of the Chinese and Russian militaries.

Meanwhile, senior western politicians and generals are telling us to prepare for war with them?

Insanity

@PradhanAlka C’mon, a trigger warning at least?

[Joshua Dratel @JDratel]

@PradhanAlka < 2001 going back to Jackson & Trail of Tears, through many instances including more recently Iran-Contra & serial violations of the War Powers Act (among others). This mere formality of doctrine. Nixon is the only Pres to suffer consequences of illegality. Watergate an outlier.

@JameelJaffer There’s always that messy fine print at the bottom. 🙄

[Joshua Dratel @JDratel]

@JameelJaffer Don’t forget the immigration cases.

[Joshua Dratel @JDratel]

@JameelJaffer @knightcolumbia I’d settle for within borders at this point, but yeah . . .

[Joshua Dratel @JDratel]

@JameelJaffer What, now you’re fashioning SIPA exam questions? Stay in your lane (Claremont not Amsterdam!). 🤣🤣🤷🏻‍♂️🙄 (I’m kidding, people).

[Joshua Dratel @JDratel]

@JameelJaffer A fist bump pariah?

[Joshua Dratel @JDratel]

@mgisel4 So the analysis that says 54 sporadic AB’s over 3 seasons is determinative means Peraza (.188 in 112 AB’s this season) and Rortvedt (.105 in 57 AB in 2023 and .144 in 146 career) should be DFA’d and relegated to MiLB forever bec they can’t hit MLB pitching?

[Joshua Dratel @JDratel]

@elijfishman Is there an RHP starter with a better change up? Hitters swing & miss at three consecutive & 2d & 3d AB’s. Same exact arm action & release point as four seam & it has deceptive spin instead of no rotation. On tv impossible to tell until it reaches plate, which is very unusual.

[Joshua Dratel @JDratel]

@jbrophybaseball I think Rice. Left handed hitting catcher is a major piece but two is too many.

[Joshua Dratel @JDratel]

@jbrophybaseball Luis Medina . . . No, wait . . . Waldichuk . . . No, wait . . . Wesniewski . . . No, wait . . . JP Sears . . . No, wait . . . Deivi Garcia . . . Btw Spence Beeter Warren not on 40 man but 3 at Scranton are DFA-able right now. Bowman Howard Myslewicz

[Joshua Dratel @JDratel]

@BE10sCoach @FiresideYankees Exactly. The rosters expand in three weeks anyway. This is gaslighting.

[Joshua Dratel @JDratel]

@jbrophybaseball Sanchez may have been the ‘Gades’s fastest player (w Vargas) and best defensive OF but struggled w consistency at plate. And btw why isn’t Florial playing? It’s a week now.

[Joshua Dratel @JDratel]

@YankeeSource Why you think LF would be better with Yoshida? 🙄🤦‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️ Cashman just terrified of another Kei Igawa.

[Joshua Dratel @JDratel]

@JameelJaffer @daphnehk @knightcolumbia The local angle is the point imho. Repression is being exercised quite widely through federalism (in a number of policy areas).

[Joshua Dratel @JDratel]

@BaseballPhil @swbrailriders @WooSox @ballylivenow @SOMPatriots Yeah and not on IL. Even w Allen in CF Florial can play either corner. 🤔

[Joshua Dratel @JDratel]

@jbrophybaseball Unfathomable why Yankees signed 32 year old 1B Jake Lamb, career .235 and .216 past 2 years & under .200 for 3 years before that, to minors deal which means Chaparro has to play 3B which means Peraza can’t get reps at 3B. I guess calling up Peraza resolves that but no rationale
