The silence from much of the Washington DC think tank world, while Trump is actively helping Putin kill Ukrainians is shocking. Where are all the analysts who were saying that they supported Ukraine?

I wonder if this isn’t the actually existing purpose of Twitter/X now. Rather than indoctrinating anyone who wasn’t already a believer, it allows the easy coordination of online mobs against individuals with potential on and offline consequences. Not that that’s a good reason for quiescence.
Sitting trembling under the desk waiting for the next Executive Order...the Orange Monster may find them woke...bunch of feckless wankers, all of them...
Many are just impostors. They have learned how to present themselves and speak in an authoritative-sounding voice, above the fray, god's eye view you know, while being not only vacuous but deferential to power. It's their only talent. People are fooled by the act all the time -- hence their jobs.
The same place where 99% of people go when confronted with totalitarianism…to water, to gutless mush, to ‘save myself’. Most of them don’t even save their families
I say this in all honesty.
I don't think any of you folks will be happy until President Trump decides to launch all the nuclear missiles we own and flatten Russia.
I've never witnessed such a group of war-hungry people in my 70 years on this earth
Not to mention committing chemical attacks in Europe, cyber attacks on Govt systems and hospitals, sabotaged infrastructure, funding puppets across Europe and interfering in numerous elections, all whilst he tells the world to our faces that he thinks Ukraine should not exist and will wipe it out.
Concocting in your brain that a dictator who murdered his opponents, journalists & own citizens, invaded several countries, broke every treaty he signed plus bombed & murdered thousands in UKR is the victim and the ppl who defend & protect UKR are 'war-mongerers' defies logic.
The UK was also in that agreement.
I haven't heard about them flying jets in or actually putting boots on the ground.
They don't have any aircraft carriers stationed anywhere near Ukraine.
C'mon...pony up.
Oh, wow you are completely delusional. Trump absolutely told them to stop creating their own equipment. He wanted them to exclusively pay the US for protection. You're full of shit dude.
They provide Ukraine with all they can, they train their people, unlike the US, UK actually holds their end of the agreement very well. They did provide many weapons including storm shadows and were clear they do not tie Ukraine's hands behind their back like biden did by forbidding strikes in ru.
Just because Ukraine does have other allies it does not let you abandon them after you disarmed them because you were "afraid of nukes". It was an all american idea. No one will ever again trust america. You went to war with the whole world. If china attacks you now we will do what you did to UA&EU.
Probably got doged or locked out, musk is a genuine super villian at this point after sabotaging US election w the help of some dirty campaign ppl &unlimited $, this sort of democratic fall into fascism has been warned about for years
Musk is only one high enough Ketamine/power to think "cool"
People have bought all the lies and disinformation regarding Zelensky and Ukraine. These people that fear children being indoctrinated are the very ones who have been indoctrinated
Also the media let's him get away with lies every single day.
He can just keep telling the "We spent 350bn, EUrope only 100bn" lie, no pushback from media...or anyone.
But shows how much these defence analysts spend most of their time trying to reflect admin policy back to the current admin, just with fancier wording.
Where are all the GOP lawmakers who support Ukraine? A few have tweeted mild platitudes into the void, but nothing that will change the course of America’s trajectory to the dark side, the Axis of Evil.
💯. Let's go to Pennsylvania and ask Scott Perry and Brian Fitzgerald and the newly elected Senator McCormick what they think of cutting Ukraine loose or demanding that Zelenskyy fork over assets.
I wonder to what extent they are silent, and to what extent they are no longer being reported upon. I've been wondering why I'm not seeing more protest marches in USA - beginning to think they are happening, but not being reported on.
It’s actual silence? They’re supposedly still thinking but not publishing? You may be reticent to name and shame fellow institutions and colleagues but at this monumental moment in history it really is you’re job to do so. Historical parallels?
And Americans. US clear and loud switched side on this war and became ally of Russia in genocidal war to destroy whole country, but society are silent. Where are all of these she warriors, meetoo, BLM, something??
People are protesting daily, flooding town hall meetings, calling Congress, boycotting
Doesn’t seem to matter. Congress is not stepping up.
No one is enforcing the law
The US Constitution is ignored
Numerous groups are suing to get the courts to uphold the law
T has fired people who are loyal to the Constitution who were working for the federal government, including in military, intelligence, and law enforcement
Who will enforce the laws?
People are on the streets
There are no institutions to block
Institutions are being dismantled
Domestic programs are being eliminated
It is not just that T doesn’t support Ukraine
T also does not support Americans
People have been
It’s being used as evidence that the opposition is unreasonable
But that is the only acknowledgment from the executive branch
Congress is mute
Supreme Court already tossed the legacy of the Magna Carta last summer before T was elected
There are no checks and balances right now
You can write them off. We in Europe shouldn't waste too much time hoping for some kind of brave decency from them. Gotta focus on Europe now, because there is still hope (contrary to the US, where there is only illusion).
It's as though the enormity of this is so great that it becomes invisible. Much like the fact that the American president is deeply mentally impaired rarely gets mentioned in the media even though it is right there in your face every day and seems kind of important.

Making analysis from a safe place is different than to take a stance.

We only want the US to provide the security guarantees they gave Ukraine in exchange for disarming themselves.
I haven't heard about them flying jets in or actually putting boots on the ground.

Even stretching a bit to try that at the beginning of this admin.
But now it's too far, too insane. It would hurt their credibility after. So they say nothing.
