TWW - Look at the whole board

Oct 6, 2022

Here’s just a sample of interesting findings from our annual survey of Americans’ foreign policy views, released yesterday. 🧵 (1) We had ppl rank 5 goals for US in Ukraine: Avoiding a direct war bw the US and Russia was the highest ranked goal across all party affiliations.

Ok so we’re sending 31 M1 Abrams tanks to Ukraine but they won’t arrive “for many months” per Politico. Oh how I hope this plays out as this scene did.

Right or wrong, wise or not, the decision to send military equipment abroad is for a sovereign state to make. If you urge its senior ally to coerce it into changing its mind, that's a plea for informal empire. Which I don't oppose, but empire sometimes doesn't know itself.

Santos refuses to resign amid calls from local N.Y. GOP

Germany's defense minister has resigned over criticism of Germany's handling of the Russia-Ukraine war, which many argue has been lackluster. In Berlin, we spoke with experts on Germany's post-Cold War defense policy and why Germany may now be rethinking its security.

This line could have used an editor: “‘They'll issue a rebuke of him for running as a complete liar in an effort to resuscitate the image of the party,’ said one person familiar with the pending announcement.” Who’s trying to resuscitate?

Local GOP leaders and a fellow Republican congressman told the New Yorker to resign, with some saying he had lied to them personally in endorsement interviews.

It’s being called Brazil’s “January 6 moment.” It was anticipated / feared in this short film we made last year. Part of US’s anti-democratic example?

The president’s approach of limited support for Ukraine aligns w the limited nature of US interests in that war and, more crucially, is sensitive to the risks of catastrophic escalation. Wish some of my peers would be a bit more sensitive. time.com/6224376/public

Brazil's former president Lula has defeated the incumbent, Jair Bolsonaro. Bolsonaro has yet to concede the election. EGF's

traveled to São Paulo earlier this year to speak with experts on the possibility that the results of this election could be contested.

In Brazil, former president Lula beats incumbent Bolsonaro by 1.8% of the vote. Through the tight race, Bolsonaro suggested election was rigged. He's yet to concede. I was in Brazil earlier this year, and made this re: prospects of political violence.
