Something as an open question. How many people here know what TARGET2 is? My personal opinion today is if you don't know what it is you have no business talking about sanctions which means that myself and one other person on Twitter apparently from Hamburg, Germany have any business talking about economic sanctions.
**In general I have been noticing dozens of so-called sanctions and national security policy experts that have no idea what Target 2 is on the Twitterverse today.
I was going to suggest for the French Election TwitterSpace that Claire is hosting on Sunday(that you are welcome to sign into WigWag) whether this is not instead the legacy of Charles De Gaulle and Emmanuel Macron. A lot of people on Twitter in the Anglosphere are blaming Macron and France's Gaullist independent foreign policy stance in part for what is happening in Ukraine. People like Carl Bildt and many others in Cosmopolitan Globalist circles for example are pounding Macron.

What we are witnessing in Ukraine is the legacy of Angela Merkel.

I will add it is kind of fun to shit-post(as Ben Wittes calls it) on Twitter like this. https://twitter.com/Tpsmyth01/status/1497007617897553920
