Putin alone decided to invade Ukraine. Biden did not force him to do so. If Putin, God forbid, uses a nuclear weapon, he alone will be responsible for the consequences of that horrific decision, not Biden. — PolitiTweet.org

On a long plane ride, just listened to Dan Carlins smart and sober podcast — the Destroyer of Worlds about early Cold War thinking about nuclear weapons including the Cuban Missile Crisis, tragically relevant for today. . https://t.co/rps2bDXsNA — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

Agreed. We need more STEM students @Stanford to do careers or tours in public service. And the USG needs to make it easier for them to spend several years, but not a lifetime, in government. That’s the future of work. — PolitiTweet.org

Noted. I’ll go do some more studying about diplomacy and stop engaging here, because of course “This is Twitter “ — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

And to be clear, I am 100% for more diplomacy. Have been even before the war. Just dont know what would work with Putin now. "How to Make a Deal With Putin" https://t.co/NUIjhupHEN via @ForeignAffairs — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

Sorry, but can you be a little more precise? What is the diplomatic strategy to convince Putin to end his invasion? He is the key decisionmaker. (Blinken has no access to Putin; Lavrov plays no role in Kremlin decisionmaking) — PolitiTweet.org

Please post a link to the article in which I argued that nuclear war would be good for Ukraine. And when you cant find such an article, because it doesnt exist, please delete this outrageous claim. Thank you. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

And of course there is no way to prove my prediction, but how is my "speculation" any less valid than those making giant speculative assumptions about Putin's probability of using them? Didnt see you berating Elon Musk for his speculative tweet about wen Putin will use nukes. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

There is no way to interpret my comment as downplaying a nuclear attack. I am arguing just the opposite, trying to point out the costs of an attack. (& I talk to senior Ukrainian officials all the time, not just "self-serving speculation" whatever that insult is supposed to mean) — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

@YousefMunayyer Must be nice to not have to think about these things. Ukrainians and people in the USG dont have that luxury. — PolitiTweet.org

Ambassador, what do you recommend doing in response to Iran's arming Russia? Or in general what do you recommend to help speed the end of this horrific war? Genuinely curious. (Needless to say, I disagree with your description of me. But you know that. Good to be in touch again!) — PolitiTweet.org

Awful. We in the West are becoming numb to these horrific discoveries. Every time another incident like this is discovered there should be new sanctions. Every tiime. — PolitiTweet.org
