I agree. I have supported most of @POTUS 's decisions on #Ukraine. But this one is a mistake. Real leaders know how to reconsider decisions. Hoping he will do so here. — PolitiTweet.org

@RitaChmielCEO @McFaul @POTUS @JakeSullivan46 He’s done a very good job on Ukraine so far. Let’s hope that’s not changing
Michael McFaul @McFaul
So what happened? Just a few days ago, @cnn & others reported that the Biden administration was planning to ship MLRS & other long-range fires to Ukraine. This is a huge reversal. I hope reporters will help explain this radical change in U.S. policy. — PolitiTweet.org
Michael McFaul @McFaul
This is big news. https://t.co/aJb3tYC2Da
Michael McFaul @McFaul
In response to @POTUS 's imprudent and I hope reversible decision to not supply MLRS to Ukraine to stop Putin's annexation of more territory in Ukraine, re-upping this thread on the dangers of inaction & non-decisions in US foreign policy: — PolitiTweet.org

President @POTUS, this is a mistake. You cannot go down in history as the U.S. president who allowed Putin to annex more Ukrainian territory. Please reconsider. "U.S. will not send Ukraine rocket systems that can reach Russia, says Biden" https://t.co/k0AB8Ex7QF — PolitiTweet.org
Michael McFaul @McFaul
.@Biden should reconsider. He should provide these weapons to Ukraine, but also sign an agreement with @ZelenskyyUa that he will not use these weapons against targets inside Russia. Easy day. — PolitiTweet.org
Michael McFaul @McFaul
Ukraine needs Multiple Launch Rocket System (MLRS) & High Mobility Artillery Rocket System (HIMARS) to stop the Russian army's advance in Ukraine. This decision is a mistake: Biden Rules Out Sending Ukraine Long-Range Rocket Systems That Can Reach Russia https://t.co/zGluGll33p — PolitiTweet.org
Michael McFaul @McFaul
This decision is a mistake @POTUS. To achieve the same objective, why not sign an agreement with @ZelenskyyUa prohibiting the use of these weapons inside Russia? "Joe Biden rules out sending weapons to Ukraine that can strike inside Russia" https://t.co/GeEQTUKZzk — PolitiTweet.org

uh... ambassador, you're the one arguing that great powers behaving badly is just the way the world, as it was & always will be -- schooling me to remember history. So now, you're arguing the opposite? That history was different from today? Please explain. Im genuinely confused — PolitiTweet.org

Dismissing an argument as a "cliche" is not an intellectual answer, at least where I work. Maybe different where you work. I dont know your cultural norms as well as I should. (For my 'Californian barbarism,' & "ignorance of history' about which you tweeted before, I apologize.) — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul
You seem to believe that Putin is different from other European dictators and imperialists. I dont. But I'm not a historian. So please explain the difference (without the sarcasm about "cliches" please. I engage you seriously. Please do the same for me or stop writing on my feed) — PolitiTweet.org

Would there have been lasting peace had the world tried to convince Hitler to end his aggression in 1940? I doubt it. Did the war get a lot worse after 1940, especially for the Soviets? Yes. & "peace" in 1940 would have been horrible for those living in annexed & occupied lands. — PolitiTweet.org

And would you have made this same argument on June 14, 1940? What if on that date, the world -- including de Gaulle -- had said, in the name of peace, in "an obligation out of defeat," let's give Hitler what he has already taken? — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul
But Ambassador, why do you assume that giving territory would "improve" Ukraine's situation on the battlefield? That's the opposite of what Morgenthau argued when dealing with non-SQ , imperial powers? Please explain. Give examples when it worked in the past. Didnt work in 2014. — PolitiTweet.org

@abdullahawez PS, many Russians agree with my analysis about the Ukrainian war. Why do you assume that Putin gets to speak for a whole nation? When's the last time you looked at what Navalny had to say about the war? — PolitiTweet.org
Michael McFaul @McFaul
@abdullahawez What is the evidence to support your hypothesis? I have written countless articles criticizing the U.S., and whole books trying to understand the interest of others (including a decade of fieldwork in USSR/Russia, Poland, Zimbabwe, Angola, China) — PolitiTweet.org

@thinkyparts And I'm worried about the feedback of unwanted, unproductive negative messages like yours. Of all the horrible things in the world to worry/complain/get angry about, you choose my son, who has never done anything to harm you. Pathetic. — PolitiTweet.org

@thinkyparts Uh, that IS disrespect. Insulting my son for no apparent reason, just because he said hello to my former boss, is very insulting. It's crappy posts like yours that ruins twitter. & of course, you dont tweet under your own name. — PolitiTweet.org

@DavidSacks Did you read my piece? It's not that long. Response? In my world, the "professional response" is to interact with published scholarly work.

No. It would have made no difference at all. After all of Putin's slaughter in Ukraine that has NOTHING to do with "NATO expansion", shocked that you still think is. Embarrassed for you. But moving on. My followers hate it when I "feed the trolls." — PolitiTweet.org
