Good to have the Amars’ view of what the Framers meant when they wrote that the state “legislature” chooses the manner of appointing electors. The Amars may be right! But why the sneering, cocky tone? https://t.co/dzM8sEP7o9

#3 seems a little too tough, #5 a bit wishful. And why can’t Ukraine be restricted to economic “partnerships” with EU countries that fall short of full membership, paralleling @fmkaplan’s plan on NATO issue? Still, something like this! https://t.co/5tEKKw483u

Just because its cause is a complicated mix of geopolitics, psychology, paranoia etc DOESN’T mean we’re not paying the price for ignoring Russian concerns about NATO expansion.

US aims according to @EliotACohen : EU & eventual NATO membership for Ukraine, re-arming Europe, “the overthrow [of] Putin,” and if not that “Russia profoundly weakened and militarily crippled.” Plus no early off-ramps! Cohen must be awully confident a losing Putin won’t go nuke.
