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

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

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

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

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

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

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
