This Twitter thread is dedicated to the fantasists who imagine that we can somehow ally with Russia against China.
@anneapplebaum The bad guys are winning. I've been saying this for a few years. It's very worrisome, and most people are oblivious to it.
@anneapplebaum In the 21st century, Autocracies states are everywhere and are run in myriad states characterised with kleptocracy structures. Where the govt funds and owns huge networks in the military, police, surveillance, NGOs, social media.
@anneapplebaum It seems like after 9/11 2001 many people turned inward, while those outwardly directed were gripped by control dynamics.
@anneapplebaum Yes they do, at least for the time being but not forever
@anneapplebaum Excellent article. To me it seems people in the US and Europe have come to take the success of democracy for granted, to a degree where they don't think it needs to be fought for anymore, indeed that it's fine to band it a bit to achieve other goal. Time for ppl to wake up..
@anneapplebaum A very illuminating if depressing read. thank you for posting here.
@anneapplebaum A must read for everyone. Thank you again.
