I want MORE Russians to get visas to travel to the US, Canada, and Europe as I wrote here months ago: "Want to undermine Putin? Help Russians who are opposed to the war." https://t.co/UxF0LWEctE — PolitiTweet.org

Max, I personally do NOT support blanket travel bans. Please see earlier posts. I have alternative ideas. Here is what I do support: https://t.co/832pvnH9GU. But I respect the right of countries to make sovereign decisions about who enters their country and who does not. — PolitiTweet.org

@pranesh What crime or injustice did I commit against Russians that justified my travel ban from Russia? Who are these "people like McFaul" who you suggest are justified in being sanctioned? — PolitiTweet.org

I also dont think its "punishment" to ask Russians to pay a small fee to help rebuild Ukraine. Im giving money to Ukraine. What cant they too? & why do you assume that middle-class Russians wouldn't want to contribute? My Russian friends would gladly do so. — PolitiTweet.org

As an example, when I buy football tickets at Stanford, I can pay the normal price, or to get better seats I can make a contribution to the athletic fund beyond the price of the ticket. No one is forcing me to make that contribution. It's my choice. — PolitiTweet.org

I do NOT support banning Russians from traveling to Europe or the US! My proposal is an alternative to complete travel ban. My proposal gives Russians a choice. Feel free to disagree with my proposal but dont misrepresent it. — PolitiTweet.org

To all those expressing indignation about visa bans for Russians traveling to European countries, why were you silent when Putin banned me from traveling to Russia a decade ago? Where was your outrage about that unjust travel ban then? #Hypocrisy. — PolitiTweet.org

PS @mehdirhasan , in my proposal, no Russian is "forced" to pay for Ukrainian reconstruction or be banned from Europe. They would have a choice. They are not compelled to vacation in Florence. They could choose instead to vacation in Minsk, and avoid the 100 Euro fee. Easy day. — PolitiTweet.org

From a moral point of view, who do you think should pay for Ukrainian reconstruction? Ukrainians? European taxpayers? American taxpayers, including my mother in Montana? Or Russians? (FYI, Iraqis paid for Kuwaiti reconstruction after 1990; $52.4 billion in total.) — PolitiTweet.org

Is it really "unjust", therefore, to ask rich Russians vacationing in Europe to pay a few extra Euros for their visas to help Ukrainian reconstruction? (Many actually would want to do so.) Help me understand the immorality of that? — PolitiTweet.org

Regarding Iraq, "Between 2003 and 2014, more than $220 billion were spent on rebuilding the country." "The total financial commitment for the reconstruction of Iraq amounted to somewhere between $7,000 to $9,000 per capita." https://t.co/gFXFngNtq1 — PolitiTweet.org

I most certainly was not an "innocent bystander" to that war. I feel great responsibility for not speaking out louder against that war. And as a U.S. taxpayer, I paid for the reconstruction of Iraq. Shouldn't Russians do the same in Ukraine? 1/ — PolitiTweet.org
