    Does that game theory tweet storm ever get around to game theory?

        Because even pretending that assessment is entirely correct it doesn't explain path forward or inaction.

        Maybe America's problem is really that we think we're engaging in game theory but we're really just hitting OUR CAP LOCK KEY?

        Putin is a problem. By no means most urgent one. If instead of finding things we can improve we JUST HIT CAP LOCK things will get worse.

        Gonna become more urgent when he rolls into the Baltics and President Tantrum doesn't back NATO.

        Even assuming that will happen, Trump is still more immediate issue. One we have responsibility to rest of world to deal with

        If you've got any ideas on how to prevent a (mostly) legitimately elected candidate from taking office, I'm listening.

        I think we're pretty much stuck with him. We need to start thinking of Magic #s: 3 in Senate (assuming Heitkamp/Manchin stay)

        As few as one or two in Committees. There are Magic Number 3s we can try to form for a number of issues (incl Russia).

        I'm old enough to remember when "tweetstorms" were called "blogs" and you could read them one one page.

        I now do both. I admittedly use all caps more on Twitter than on my blog.

        good point. I went back and he admits he finally get to it after long lead up, and give his tsk on why Obama didn't do more

        and that is finally game theory of Obama decisions based on potential reactions by others

        He started with discussion of flexibility. But yes, @ericgarland should talk more about game theory.
