      Let me just suggest that one key difference between now and Kosovo/Kuwait is that neither Serbia nor Iraq had nuclear weapons. That could be, I dunno, salient.pic.twitter.com/EOoLWmjq7y

      there is a logic in expressing the clarity of the NATO red line

      Exactly. Clarity is really important in a situation where crossing the line could mean nuclear war. I'm really shocked at how people are ignoring this fact.

          America has become a deeply frivolous and unserious nation, rife with realpolitweet. Americans have no appreciation for the good fortune of a serious (if C+-level) lifelong foreign policy student at the helm in this moment.

          But this means Latvia and Estonia are worth a global nuclear war but not #Ukraine, just because an elite group of European nations excluded Ukraine from membership?

          Sipher sure does bring up some of the temptations to uncontrolled escalation though (WMD use etc.). Tom Nichols's advice on those temptations strikes me as urgently relevant bc of the force of emotion if WMDs are unleashed. Hope Biden keeps to that clear reasoning.

          I’m really shocked how you see no problem with Russian wars other than with NATO countries. There is also a logic to expressing the clarity that Moldova and other non-NATO countries aren’t freebies for Putin’s imperial designs.

          You know there is this thing called international law and the United Nations charter, which includes more than NATO.

          “Nuclear war” is just an abstraction to people now. They haven’t read accounts of the slow horrific post-bomb deaths in Japan, or explanations of the further climate destruction nuclear conflict would bring. Even “limited” nuclear war is unconscionable and unsurvivable.
