If Russia invades, @jscros says the cost of war will be felt the most by Ukrainian civilians.
“They’re gonna be the old, they’re gonna be the poor, the sick, the infirmed, the people who, for the most part, do not have the means or the ability to leave their homes.”
sCan Russia invade and occupy Ukraine without huge costs?
“The question is, can it hold territory and does it want to hold territory? What it really wants is to control the political regime in Kyiv,” says @IvoHDaalder.
“If we’re not gonna fight, we have to talk. It’s as simple as that.”
@lieven_anatol talks about what will happen if Russia invades Ukraine and allies don’t fight to defend it.
There is a chance (with diplomacy) to avoid war between Russia and Ukraine.
“But to get to a solution short of war,” says @mehdirhasan, “we first need to understand how we got to this point.”

"Just when you thought dating apps couldn’t get any worse..."
@KatiePhang's got jokes about the explosion in new right-wing social media properties... including, yes, an upcoming dating app.
"But," she adds, "there are a few things to be worried about":
Is there hypocrisy in right-wing media’s treatment of Enes Kanter Freedom vs. Colin Kaepernick?
@TMooreSports puts it simply: “Is there gambling in the piano bar?”
Gunmaker Remington settled a case with some families of Sandy Hook victims for $73M. Could it lead the way for more lawsuits of the same nature? @jadamskaggs says it could:
“It creates a blueprint, a roadmap to hold other gun companies accountable for their sales and marketing.”
Trump, Don Jr. & Ivanka could be questioned under oath in the next three weeks now that a judge has ordered they sit for depositions. But will the ex-pres even give anything away?
@JoyceWhiteVance points to a judge telling Trump “former presidents aren’t a protected class.”
"Democrats need to talk much more about what they stand for, who they're fighting for, and what they're fighting against," @mehdirhasan says. "Instead, they're choosing to play defense and to keep repeating their opponents' lies to try and debunk them."

As much as “The Trojan Horse Affair” delves into a mysterious 2014 letter, it also delves into @HamzaMSyed’s experience as a Muslim journalist.
“It’s who I am, it’s why I went into journalism, and I’m not gonna be shy about that,” he tells @mehdirhasan.
“They could’ve arrested Martin Luther King” is what a noted law professor *actually* said on Fox last night when discussing the Canadian trucker protests. Is he the first casualty of what happens when they stop teaching history in schools?
@mehdirhasan sets the record straight.
