Putting pressure on the Ukrainians to make concessions is not only morally offensive--they are victims of aggression--but also pointless, because only Putin can end the war. Premature Ukrainian concessions now would just embolden the Russian dictator. https://t.co/NJZRpa10NN — PolitiTweet.org

Putin is not some Slavic Terminator who will keep advancing no matter what. That doesn’t mean that Ukraine can strike a deal with him now. But it does suggest that a more acceptable settlement may be achievable if Russia suffers more battlefield defeats. https://t.co/NJZRpa10NN — PolitiTweet.org

After months of nuclear threats, Putin on Oct. 27 denied having any intention of going nuclear. It is probably no coincidence that Xi Jinping has been increasingly vocal in his opposition to the Russian use of nuclear weapons. https://t.co/NJZRpa10NN — PolitiTweet.org

On Oct. 29, Putin announced he was suspending a deal to allow ships full of Ukrainian grain to transit the Black Sea. Yet, on Friday, he said Russia will abide by the grain deal after all. It looks as if he buckled to pressure from Turkey. https://t.co/NJZRpa10NN — PolitiTweet.org

Russian trade with the US/EU is way down, but trade with China is up 64%, Turkey 198%, and India 310%. That means those countries have a lot of leverage with Russia. Instead of pressuring Kyiv, the US should be pressuring Beijing, Ankara & New Delhi. https://t.co/NJZRpa10NN — PolitiTweet.org

Max Boot 🇺🇦🇺🇸 @MaxBoot

Putin just buckled to pressure from Turkey by keeping the Black Sea grain deal alive and from China by backtracking on his nuclear threats. There’s no secret as to why Putin would be sensitive to the views of Ankara and Beijing: Just follow the money! https://t.co/NJZRpa10NN — PolitiTweet.org

Vladimir Putin’s power rests on the impression that he is invincible and implacable. But in recent weeks we have seen evidence that suggest Putin is a rational actor who is perfectly capable of backtracking if it’s in his interest to do so. https://t.co/NJZRpa10NN — PolitiTweet.org
