    I can’t think of any policy more immoral than giving Ukrainians enough weapons not to win but also not to lose, a strategy that would just prolong the war and lead to Ukrainians (and Russians) needlessly dying. Thankfully, that’s not the Biden policy.

    This thread 👇🏻- what if it’s not all of the factors we keep citing - demography, economics, the loss of dignity, what if it’s.... narcissistic boredom. @RadioFreeTom illustrates his thesis:

    At #Berlin speech @SecBlinken makes strong case against the German #Russlandversteher, highlighting many violations of int treaty obligations over time, going back as far as the ‘75 Helsinki Agreement, systematically taking apart #Russian arguments of being “encircled” by @NATO.

    @SecretaryPete makes a deeply compelling argument for the link between #infrastructure investment & democratic resilience: “Democracy and delivery” is what counts - “the capacity to actually do the work to fortify the virtuous cycle between economic & political stability.” @gmfus

    Remarkable scenes this evening at #BrandenburgerTor. Sadness envelops all, as they realize the dynamics that once begat the reopening of this gate have shifted tectonically. #Ukraine

    A few years ago, I had the rare privilege of reviewing archived material of James A Baker III’s conversations during the negotiations that would lead to #GermanReunification. Now, I cannot wait to read @sbg1 & @peterbakernyt’s biography. He is a class act:

    It’s the 30th anniversary of German unification. I was happy to receive this message from former Secretary of State James Baker. Without those like him arguing for a united Germany in a “Europe whole and free”, it’s questionable if German unity could have been achieved.

    Just over three hours, five boxes & quite literally years worth of recycling to cap this 11-year era - cleaning out my office at @BelferCenter. So many files, notes, memories. Profound gratitude to @RNicholasBurns & my colleagues for the opportunity to lead @futurediplomacy.

    All in all, #Koalitionsvertrag is progressive doc - a new, modern citizenship law (by birth! if your parent has been resident for 5 years); Weaponized drone debate settled; #Feminist Foreign Policy and urban and digital diplomacy; 3% GDP to enable “international action”

    Anstatt nun direkt zum Tagesgeschäft überzugehen, wäre es sinnvoll der Opposition hier recht zu geben um die Rede von Staatspräsident #Zelensky zu diskutieren, seine Kritik anzunehmen und vor dem Wähler klarzustellen, wie weitere Verantwortungsübernahme aussehen kann.
