Biden has called Putin a "war criminal" but what is the U.S. really willing to do about it when it is not a member of the Intl. Criminal Court?

Would a second American Civil War look like the last? No, @bfwalter tells @MehdiRHasan. It would be led by factions with no desire to engage the U.S. military. “They’ll use unconventional tactics like terrorism and guerilla warfare.”

“Glaring conflicts of interest are mere decorations within the reactionary madhouse that is our 6-3 conservative-dominated highest court,” @MehdiRHasan says in breaking down Ginni Thomas’ explosive texts to Mark Meadows and Justice Clarence Thomas’ unbelievable ethical lapses.

“We have a history that Hitler actually looked to for inspiration, which is our racist Jim Crow history,” @jasonintrator explains to @MehdiRHasan, as they discuss the creeping return of fascist elements in far too many sectors of America’s government.

Is multiracial democracy going backwards in America?
The SCOTUS hearings were another example of the fact that we are in the midst of “a betrayal”, says @esglaude, after “the promise of hundreds of thousands of people showing up after George Floyd was murdered.”

Biden’s Warsaw speech in defense of Ukrainian democracy was as powerful as it was necessary. However, @MehdiRHasan explains that America and particularly America’s allies’ track record upholding democratic principles isn’t spotless.

“We shouldn’t argue that Vladimir Putin is a war criminal,” @jahimes tells @MehdiRHasan, “attacking a vulnerable country that has not provoked you is a war crime.”

“American democracy was in trouble long before Trump was on the scene, and it’ll still be in trouble even if he disappears tomorrow,” says @mehdirhasan. “Every branch of govt. is broken, minority rule is being entrenched, and democracy is being destroyed - without an invasion.”

Does France believe that Putin must not remain in power? @Ph_Etienne tells @MehdiRHasan his country is focused on humanitarian efforts, by working “to allow the population of Mariupol to escape from this hell which the Russian bombings have been causing in this town.”

A barrier to dealing with China & Russia is economic, @GovGaryLocke tells @MehdiRHasan. With so many of the products that we use in our daily lives coming from China, he adds, “How can you really impose some of these sanctions? Because you’d also be cutting off your supply.”

“The fight against rising autocracy won’t be easy and, look,” says @mehdirhasan, “The U.S. is hardly the most credible of messengers. But in the context of Ukraine, Joe Biden struck a powerfully optimistic note” in his Warsaw speech. WATCH:

I wrote this a week ago. It’s even more relevant today, given the release of the shocking Ginni Thomas texts. It goes without saying, of course, we all wish Clarence Thomas a quick recovery to full health. That doesn’t change the case for his impeachment:

The U.S. will welcome 100,000 Ukrainian refugees from Europe, but what about the refugees seeking asylum on our own southern border? Why is Title 42 still in place?

Remember when Alvin Bragg, while running for Manhattan DA, said he was well-qualified to take on the Trump case and would keep the prosecutorial team together? 👀

Meet Ketanji Brown Jackson. Yes, she’s been on the stand this week for her confirmation hearings, but Republicans have spent that time grandstanding and trying to distract from her qualifications.

You know about Zelenskyy the wartime leader, and his previous life as a comic.
But, @mehdirhasan asks, “What about Zelenskyy's tenure at home? That period matters. Because it gives us some clues as to what peace, and a post-war Ukraine, could look like.”
