Re @MCTothSTL @JESweet2022 I could be wrong about the political risks to Biden. Since it’s only me saying it! Also last night I looked at the @Channel4 documentary on the UK role in the evacuation of Kabul. Shocking stuff.

There is no scenario where this could benefit Russia.

Julia Davis: Meanwhile in Russia: Slutsky claims that Ukraine is about to blow up the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant. This kind of a statement usually means that Russia is planning to do it and is preemptively trying to pin the blame on Ukraine. It could also be fear mongering. https://t.co/6jEBH2AH5Z
