@BMedicky @markomihkelson Sounds fine to me as well. However, screaming “but Putin!” in response to every criticism to Zelenskyy is kinda dumb. Is Ukraine a functioning democracy or not?

@McFaul The sanctions kinda changed the rules here. Thanks for the hot take though.

@Dorfmatratze1 @FalkTG That’s truly a shame. The city used to have a cool urban vibe.

@JP03880617 @CVernonSmith @QuinHillyer be careful talking to old Clifford here. He likes to ask a lot of questions to make him feel like he’s pontificating but blocks you when it’s his time to answer. He’s one of “those” guys.

[Bruce @bawsolutions]

@BMedicky @markomihkelson I never said it was unconstitutional. The fact that elections have been suspended puts Zelenskyy’s legitimacy in question. If Zelenskyy wins, he regains legitimacy. If not, a new government would be in a position for fresh negotiations. Win-win.

@AlexSalvati3 @CVernonSmith @QuinHillyer While no one knows how sincere he was, Putin asked 2 Presidents and NATO bigwigs about a Russian pathway into NATO prior to 2007. Those statements were not an unfair assessment from the Russian POV. In hindsight I’ve come to the realization NATO should’ve been disbanded in 1991.

@CVernonSmith @QuinHillyer You seem to be maintaining a Eurocentric worldview. I wish you luck with that.

[Bruce @bawsolutions]

@AlexSalvati3 @CVernonSmith @QuinHillyer let’s not forget that prior to 2009 Ukraine was aligned with Russia. Even after, Ukraine has been notoriously corrupt.

[Bruce @bawsolutions]

@AlexSalvati3 @CVernonSmith @QuinHillyer At what point did Ukraine become a US ally? And at what point did Russia become an enemy?

[Bruce @bawsolutions]

@CVernonSmith @QuinHillyer I can tell you why Ukraine specifically doesn’t matter but I was hoping to hear your insight

[Bruce @bawsolutions]

@CVernonSmith @QuinHillyer Krauthammer considered himself a neocon. He had a lot of good ideas (especially on US immigration) but his opinions on post-soviet Russia failed to take into account the declining influence of Europe as China emerged as a superpower. He wrote a ton of books, you should read them.

[Bruce @bawsolutions]

@CVernonSmith @QuinHillyer If you don’t know that’s fine.

[Bruce @bawsolutions]

@CVernonSmith @QuinHillyer so far you’re not making much of a case here. I’ll make it easier for you. Why is it better for America to have Ukraine on the border with Russia vs Poland?

[Bruce @bawsolutions]

@CVernonSmith @QuinHillyer just so you know, Krauthammers blind spot was always his neocon views that never evolved after the end of the cold war. He was a very smart guy but the more I read his work the more it became clear how obviously surface level it was

[Bruce @bawsolutions]

@CVernonSmith @QuinHillyer So you are saying you feel this support is crucial to the preservation of the petrodollar?

[Bruce @bawsolutions]

@CVernonSmith @QuinHillyer feel free to explain. I’d like to learn

[Bruce @bawsolutions]

@pratikdunya I didn’t know ancient engineers had plastic trash bags

[Bruce @bawsolutions]

@iansmith06 @MattWalshBlog He seems like a genuine fun sponge

@pkamaev @QuinHillyer Kidnapping men for the pointless meat grinder. Both Russia and Ukraines favorite pastime.
