You can be that way if you'd like, Daniel. No one's upset that you're a #Kremlin employee. Everyone has to make a living, right? 🤷‍♂️

Just understand that we shall continue to obstruct #Russia's plainly obvious #war of conquest—apparently your definition of "#warmongering."

I'd probably miss the old #Soviet days too if I was you. We can understand your desire to rebuild the old empire.

Although, for the sake of your mental health, I hope you're not too overly nostalgic. Now that we know what you're up to, we'll certainly thwart your ambitions.

We'd had high hopes that you'd choose a more enlightened means of restoring your respectability. 🌍

Unfortunately, like the fellow in Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade film who foolishly drank from the necrotizing holy grail instead of the real one, "you've chosen poorly."

🧵It is increasingly clear that #China is positioning itself to benefit from the war in #Ukraine. Putin’s folly has increased #Russia’s dependence on China for energy exports, accelerating Moscow’s vassalization to Beijing. It’s increasingly clear China is in the lead. 1/5

Beijing has also been able to exploit differences between Washington, Paris and Berlin when it comes to their #China policy, with a flurry of senior European leaders visits to China underscoring Beijing’s growing influence. China is now a rising great power in Europe. 2/5

Through its Belt and Road initiative China has sought to flip the maritime-to-land domain relationship in its favor, building a land-based supply chain network that—if successfully completed & defended—would enable China to compete from a position of advantage vice the US. 3/5

🧵I grow weary of the “China first ”school in US policy community, which argues that since our military isn’t big enough to cover both #Europe & #Asia, we need to stop aiding #Ukraine, leave EUR to its own devices & husband our resources to focus on the pacing threat in Asia.1/6

I’m sorry but this makes no sense. The “China first” school is retreading the tired “pivot” rhetoric from the last decade. You don’t try to solve the problem by running away from it. If our military is too small to secure our strategic interests, we need to build it up. 2/6

The Atlantic and the Pacific are not and either/or proposition; they are together/with. They are one problem set. China and Russia understand it—they have sought to create a simultaneous two-frontier crisis for us: one in Eastern Europe, the other in the Indo-Pacific. 3/6

🧵The closer we get to US Presidential primaries the more we hear voices in various outlets advocating that we end our support for #Ukraine, and even leave #Europe altogether. The argument is that we focus instead on #Asia, as #China poses the greatest threat to US security. 1/6

Some of those pieces are analytical, others veer into partisan screeds. But they all share two assumptions in common: that 1.our support for #Ukraine is a distraction from the real threat, and 2. that we lack sufficient resources to engage both in the Atlantic and the Pacific.2/6

This argument fundamentally misreads our geopolitics. The United States is a quintessentially maritime power-an island on a continental scale. We have the maintenance of the Navy written into our Constitution. Access to the World Ocean has historically nurtured our prosperity.3/6

In another tweet which I will append below, I write about the dizzying diplomacy that #Eritrea #Sudan #Somalia #SouthSudan are going thru. Here, I am going to include momentous changes all happening at once. A New World Order?

This happened, via #China

newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/w…

“Last week, #SaudiArabia and #Iran announced that they would reëstablish diplomatic relations after seven years of severed ties. The two nations pledged to reopen their embassies and also agreed to begin coöperating in areas such as security and trade.”

(3) Then #SouthKorea and #Japan decided that focus on the future is more paramount than letting your interpretation of history keep u estranged for 12 yrs. #NorthKorea shot an ICBM to remind them yeah, we should meet.

🧵I keep getting emails from various people to tell me that 1. #Ukraine can’t win or 2. that the war in UKR is a distraction from the real threat posed by #China. Then I get those about how we are depleting our stocks and won’t have enough should a crisis erupt over #Taiwan 1/5

To the first point: Neither I nor the naysayers know what the final outcome in #Ukraine will be. Wars are inherently unpredictable.They are not just about mass, population, or resources. History is replete with wars where a smaller but better motivated and led force prevailed 2/5

To the second point: We are in a global contest between democracies and dictatorships. #Russia and #China are aligned against us not because we pushed them together but because they share the same interest: to dismantle the current order. These theaters are interconnected. 3/5
