With current facts, historical references, and personal experience making the case for your opinions, this is my favorite of the Bulwark's offerings. And I so appreciate your measured humor, dark or otherwise, and your humility.
Thank you for including links to your articles. I will be buying Vindemann's book. I've been calling my representatives daily and recently have been focused on one topic only - asking them to support Ukraine. You help confirm my belief in the primacy of that topic. My representatives are all Republicans. I believe that a daily call is like a daily vote. Maybe not, but I know, at least, that I would not be making daily calls if I lived in Russia.
I noticed that the University of Virginia ranked number one in the most recent college free speech environment rankings of FIRE. That's a superb accomplishment.
I guess where I struggle with Eliot’s discussion of basically “Russia weak” is that all of it is true but Ukraine is (1) weaker and (2) utterly dependent. That’s the fundamental problem. Even if Harris would have won there was almost no chance that the republicans senate would have provided more aid.
Eric’s comments on Obama are funny. That street goes both ways. Why didn’t Europe ever step up on defense after they signed a treaty to 2 percent?
I despise what Trump is doing but at some point Europe actually needs to own up and put cash where its mouth is.

May I suggest that all articles you link to be freely available to all subscribers to the Bulwark? You could link to pdf files.

You should have included a link to Casey Michel's recent review of Vindman's book for The Bulwark:
