Happy Birthday President Obama.

As long as I live, I will never understand how we went from him to Donald Trump.

. @GregAbbott_TX Uvaldi families do not want my love. My support or my prayers. They want their kids back. Shut your mouth and go get back in bed with the NRA. You are complicit.

“Why are you here?!"

A furious Sen. Chris Murphy demands answers from senators following Texas school shooting.

“Why do you spend all this time running for the United States Senate...if your answer, is as the slaughter increases, as our kids run for their lives—we do nothing?”

Asked if Pres. Biden “would cut red tape” for companies to drill more oil in U.S., White House press sec. Jen Psaki says, "What red tape needs to be cut when they have the permits?"

"I don't think they need an embroidered invitation to drill." https://t.co/JtrQBgjqTK

Bank of America has apologized to the "Black Panther" director Ryan Coogler after assuming he was trying to rob a branch in Atlanta. He was briefly handcuffed by the police while trying to withdraw money in January. https://t.co/cqVPJ6O2fq

I just became the first U.S. Secretary of Education to call on President Biden to unilaterally cancel student loan debt. Can I count on you to retweet and help me hit 35k followers so we can spread the word?

11. A standard idea is that Putin is rational and that the problem is that he is poorly informed. Think of Hitler! Would anybody today claim that his problem was that he was poorly informed? No, Hitler was as mad as Putin. Don't try to talk sense to Putin! Isolate him!

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

10. As Fiona Hill has written, the risk that Putin will use nuclear arms is real, but that risk will not diminish but rather increase over time.

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

8. The West should have armed Ukraine far more since 2014. Then, putin might not have dared to attack.
9. Exactly as in World War II, the US needs to think of how it wants to enter this World War III rather than hope for de-escalation or even worse trying to avoid "provocations."

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

5. Exactly as with Hitler, the war will only end when Putin is defeated, ousted or dead.
6. It is really all about Putin, not about neo-imperialism, Russian nationalism or even the KGB.
7. Given what Russia does, the West/US/NATO can hardly avoid getting into this war.

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

3. This is an all-out war. Putin will not stop or de-escalate. He will escalate & proceed until he is stopped by someone at home or abroad.
4. If Putin succeeds in succumbing Ukraine (which I don't think), he would proceed to other countries, perhaps in Africa or Europe.

[Anders Åslund @anders_aslund]

How to understand Putin's war in Ukraine.
1. It is not about Nato, EU, USSR or even Ukraine. Putin needs a war to justify his rule & his swiftly increasing domestic repression.
2. Putin is today's Hitler & 24 Feb 2022 should be seen as 1 Sep 1939. Ukraine is Putin's Poland.
