If Russia’s imperial ambition (and underlying ideology) is as deep-seated as Mead says, I don’t see why even a “comprehensive military defeat” in Ukraine would prevent them from rebuilding and repursuing empire. Can’t count on introspective “Suez moment” https://t.co/f5QjQM2wnv

It’s almost official: They’re going to let Title 42 end because they WANT to flood the labor market with millions of new wage-lowering migrant workers (in an attempt to break the inflation they helped create). Endangered Dems be damned. https://t.co/K8I83g38a0
