So it’s ok for Iran to provide Russia with long range weapons, but not ok for NATO to provide Ukraine with weapons of similar ranges? — PolitiTweet.org

Munich 1938 is often invoked to learn the bitter lessons of appeasement but Berlin 1948 is worth studying too, ie a case in which we did not capitulate and even risked conflict with Stalin to supply a city that was not an ally. And we had to stay the course for a long time. — PolitiTweet.org

Hard to understand how explaining the lack of a military purpose for using nuclear weapons in Ukraine could be misconstrued as an argument for nuclear war! But Twitter can be a strange place sometimes. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

@RealWoody1969 Please explain why you think fewer weapons for Ukraine would help accelerate the peace process. Genuinely curious to understand the logic. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

Please. I am doing what I can to avoid nuclear war, trying to explain why a nuclear attack would serve no military objective. If you disagree with my analysis, what is your idea for avoiding nuclear war? — PolitiTweet.org

@joan_mavima How do you think Zelensky would respond? Or the Ukrainian people? — PolitiTweet.org

Putin could end his invasion of Ukraine today. (Talk of hardliners overthrowing him if he did is nonsense) Those in West claiming to be committed to peace in Ukraine need to offer concrete proposals for convincing/compelling Putin to end his war. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

I talked to Ukrainians every day. I don’t know a single person in Kyiv who would disagree with my assessment. Maybe you have sources in Kyiv who would disagree? I’m eager to learn. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

What is your assessment of how Ukrainians would respond to a nuclear attack? (I’m indifferent as to where you live) — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

Putins threats of nuclear war are successfully deterring the US & NATO from providing Ukraine with more sophisticated weapons. The West would no longer be deterred if he actually used these weapons. Hope he understands that. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

Putins latest escalatory acts — annexation, mobilization, and threat of nuclear war — weaken his hold on power at home. To stay in power, Time for a change in direction. https://t.co/qE9hFLPVqO — PolitiTweet.org

That’s is complete nonsense. I have never written that. Only a completely deranged person would write that. Please delete this grotesque disinformation from my feed please. — PolitiTweet.org

What exactly is your point? I am not allowed to share my assessments of Ukrainian responses , based on constant communication with Ukrainians, because I live in California? I’m doing what I can to end this war & avoid a nuclear holocaust. Hope you are too no matter where you live — PolitiTweet.org

@EliClifton What is your point? I am making an analytic statement about my assessment of Ukrainian responses based on constant communication with Ukrainian officials and NGO leaders.
