📄 New pre-print on SSRN New evidence on a timely question: Does holding anti-democratic leaders legally accountable produce democratic backlash? Contrary to widespread concerns, I find no evidence that accountability increased affective polarisation or reduced support for democracy. 🧵👇

The United States and Europe have had 1000 days to tip the balance of military power decisively in Ukraine’s favor, but they chose not to. Biden’s decision on ATACMS will help, but like much else in this war, it is too little too late. My latest for the @bulletinatomic.bsky.social
thebulletin.org
Biden allowing Ukraine to strike into Russia is much ado for little consequence
It took 1000 days for Western allies to let Ukraine use their long-range missiles against Russia. It's probably too little too late.
