    Excellent piece from on how rich Western nations are turning away from the concept of mandatory refugee protections, even at a time when Ukraine is showing those nations exactly why they're so necessary in the first place.

    People are going to be amazed how quickly the notion that Democrats are akin to foreign enemies will be normalized to justify treating their rule as inherently illegitimate

    This is more than symbolic. As long as Boris is in Kyiv, NATO’s tripwire effectively extends to his location. A costly, skin-in-the-game demonstration of credibility to any future Western security guarantee for Ukraine.

    “The Russian handbook is one of the most openly genocidal documents I have ever seen.  It calls for the liquidation of the Ukrainian state, and for abolition of any organization that has any association with Ukraine”

    A War College simulation projects that both Russian and Ukrainian forces will exhaust around late July, with neither able to achieve a decisive military victory. The result is an open-ended stalemate: failure for Moscow, indefinite suffering for Ukrainians

    Hi, I'm Armen Aramyan, founding editor of , and I've spent the last 12 months under house arrest due to a criminal investigation. My colleagues and I face up to 3 years in a Russian prison for a short video that we recorded in January 2021. Here's our story. THREAD 🧵

    The Kremlin is downplaying Biden's "in power" comments. They may well decide later to cynically play it up, but predictions on here that Moscow would see the speech as a declaration of a new regime change policy are so far proving false.

    Everyone knows at this point it was a flub. The Kremlin will probably pretend to think it was as a genuine statement of policy, but that does not mean you have to do the same.

    Yes, Putin will interpret Biden's speech through a lens of deep paranoia toward US intentions. But he is also likely to see the quote in context; the Kremlin has problems with information flow, but not always identical to those on Twitter.

    If the line was also not in the prepared text, that seems like further evidence against reading it as a statement of US policy, or even an abstract desire to see Putin out of power

    I understand why folks had the reaction to the viral pull-out quote that they did, and in context some may still read it that way, but I would really implore people to at least glance at the context before blasting out regime change takes

    The lines leading up to the "in power" quote are all about how Putin can't be allowed to assert imperial control over foreign nations like Ukraine. There's nothing in the immediate context to suggest Biden is making regime change policy, even abstractly.

    Unclear whether this was a case of lost context, a gaffe/misstatement, or a post-speech walkback. Maybe some combination.

    Maybe it will turn out that, in context, he did say this. But folks may be overinterpreting based on a very unusual stretch in 2011, when Obama said similar things to signal when the US was dropping support for MidEast leaders facing Arab Spring protests. Not really the same.
