“[Biden’s] comments reflect a sense in Washington that some form of ‘regime change’ in Russia is both conceivable and desirable.” @gideonrachman seems to have talked to some of the same ‘bleed Putin’ sages as @nfergus. But no names are named https://t.co/DrPDa0uuwc

Actually, you have to get pretty far down in the line of succession before you get to someone who’s *not* prone to verbal gaffes. And he’s an 81-year old Deadhead. I give you Presidenty Leahy https://t.co/eVabEnyzcy https://t.co/IdZgjpDavQ

DNF. Just because Putin ignores all advisers and is flying solo doesn’t mean he ignores what his *enemies* (ie Biden) are saying & doing in making up (solo) his mind …

It does? Seems like progress to me. Presumably Zelensky & Co. are well aware of possible bad faith on Russia’s part. If they’re still pursuing this why reflexively piss on it? https://t.co/IpB6lpEhh2

Even a vague “increase” in Child Tax Credit does poorly, as usual. As does increasing the # of immigrants. (But not as poorly as taking in “as many as possible” refugess “from around the world”!) https://t.co/aXvmjnvNH0

Hmm. The “ad lib” replaced whatever the written last line of the speech was. (I doubt the prepared speech ended on “Of decency and dignity and freedom and possibilities.”) So what was that last line Biden didn’t read? Would tell us something. (I bet it’s pretty strident!) https://t.co/1CA57bacd4

It turns out when low-income Americans (conspicuously including single moms) go to work, they are positioned to benefit from the economy’s “up” periods. Why would Democrats want to undermine this achievement by encouraging non-work via no-strings Child Tax Credit welfare checks? https://t.co/D2rAXLWOdN

Biden actually said pretty much that: (“Putin can and must end this war.”) But that was mid-speech, before he made it clear that ending the war would not satisfy him–i.e. wouldn’t end the long-term anti-Putin, anti-autocracy fight he thinks he was launching. https://t.co/CBb8MwEBaR

This will make it that much harder to end Putinism, even if Putin himself is replaced, no? And it makes it easier for Putin to avoid that fate: He can say *any* gains in a Ukraine deal are a victory in the long war against the obviously anti-Russia West. https://t.co/Tri2GmcgBW
