.@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

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

I am horrified by Putin's barbaric slaughter of Ukrainians. I am also tired of seeing young Russian men dying so needlessly. Mr. Putin, save the lives of your soldiers. End this war. — PolitiTweet.org

Those arguing against weapons transfers to Ukraine support Putin's policy preferences. Those arguing for weapons transfers to Ukraine support Zelensky's policy preferences. I am on @ZelenskyyUa side. It's the strategic, pragmatic, and moral side to be on. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

Do you know who would be absolutely delighted if the U.S. started to limit weapons transfers to Ukraine? Putin. — PolitiTweet.org

I am a realist. As a realist, I support Biden's arming of Ukraine. It is wishful thinking to believe that Putin will stop his invasion of Ukraine if the Ukrainian army becomes weaker. That's not how the "real" world works. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

PS when your policy recommendations for the US align precisely with what Putin and Trump also recommend for US policy, maybe time to rethink your policy positions. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

Please name a historical example in which an army was advancing on the battlefield and then stopped their invasion because their opponent was disarmed. I can’t think of one. Wars usually end when one side wins or stalemate on the battlefield. Neither condition is present now. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

Why don’t you call for disarming Russian army? You want to disarm Ukrainians and let them be slaughtered by Putins army?You think Putin will stop if Ukraine is disarmed? Illogical. & immoral. — PolitiTweet.org
