@A_Melikishvili You are really naive about Putin. He does not need to emboldened by anyone to make the decision to invade countries, annex territory, assassinate people. You grossly overestimate American power. That is very dangerous. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

@A_Melikishvili Bush emboldened Georgia, and Putin invaded. Obama emboldened Russia, and Putin invaded. Im sorry Alex, but Im a social scientist. You causal argument makes no sense in my world. Your independent variable changes but the dependent variable is the same. That is a very bad theory. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

@A_Melikishvili What is the evidence to support your hypothesis that I PERSONALLY thought "Medvedev was the real McCoy"? Did you somehow get access to classified NSC files? (NB: You have NO idea what I thought then. Your just making this up right now. You havent even read my book I can tell) — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

@A_Melikishvili So Putin invaded without a reset? Kind of undermines your argument. (And I know Ron's book; he was a good friend of mine) — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

@A_Melikishvili So is Bush directly responsible for Putin's invasion of Georgia? — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

@A_Melikishvili I am directly responsible for that? You obviously have little understanding of Putin, Russia or the US government. Disengaging now. Read my book. Send me an email of you assessment. Ill respond. — PolitiTweet.org

@william_tompson @AlexKokcharov Have you read the article? — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

Can you please read the damn article? It's all very clear in context. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

Did not know. Thanks for posting. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

@AlexKokcharov The hysteria in your first note was insulting, and very different in tone than this one. I wrote in the same article "in May 2014, Ukrainians elected a new PRO-WESTERN president, Petro Poroshenko." & you know my views. Your failure to apologize is disappointing. Moving on — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

You obviously didn't read the article, including this sentence "The Ukrainian parliament impeached their departed president, and in May 2014, Ukrainians elected a new pro-Western president, Petro Poroshenko." Shame on you for making such outrageous and false accusations. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

And as for your threat of "further scrutiny" of my work, knock yourself out. As someone who has defended Ukrainian sovereignty & democracy, and stood up to Putin as much as anyone in the US (only US Ambo banned from Russia since Kennan) I found your threat deeply insulting. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

.@AlexKokcharov, you obviously didn't read the article. I mentioned Poroshenko a half dozen times including: "The Ukrainian parliament impeached their departed president, and in May 2014, Ukrainians elected a new pro-Western president, Petro Poroshenko. " You owe me an apology. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

Dear Dr. @GicAriana , I was writing about Boyko, not Poroshenko ! Geez. If you actually read the whole article, you of course would understand the context better. And what "scrutiny" are you calling for? — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

@AlexKokcharov PS @AlexKokcharov , you know my work. You know damn well that I would never write that Poroshenko was "pro-Russian." I know Poroshenko personally. I find it insulting that you would get so hysterical over one poorly-worded sentence. You obviously havent read the whole article. — PolitiTweet.org
