And would you have made this same argument on June 14, 1940? What if on that date, the world -- including de Gaulle -- had said, in the name of peace, in "an obligation out of defeat," let's give Hitler what he has already taken? — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul
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

To be clear, it is healthy and necessary to have policy debates based on theoretical assumptions and interpretations of history. I just find the labels used to define these debates misleading. (I feel the same way about the "liberalism" label but that's for another day) — PolitiTweet.org

“Appeasement contradicts the dictates of offensive realism and therefore it is a fanciful and dangerous strategy. It is unlikely to transform a dangerous foe into a kinder, nicer, opponent, much less a peace-loving state." 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

In addition to Morgenthau, let me quote another high priest of realism arguing against appeasement with whom I agree. 1/ THREAD. — PolitiTweet.org
Michael McFaul @McFaul
Exactly. That's why I posted that. You can make an argument for annexation. We should debate it. But you don't get to appropriate the word, "realism", or "pragmatism" to describe your hypothesis. Lots of realists argue the EXACT opposite. — PolitiTweet.org

Sounds like someone writing about Russian imperialism in Ukraine today right? Actually, it's Hans Morgenthau, a high priest of realism, writing in Politics Among Nations, (first edition 1948; my edition 1967), p. 61. 5/ — PolitiTweet.org

Lots of self-proclaimed "realists" are arguing these days that appeasing Putin by giving him Donbas will end his invasion. But it should be noted that scholars from the realist tradition have also argued the exact opposite. 1/ THREAD. — PolitiTweet.org

What are the historical cases in which appeasing an imperial power by allowing them to annex land stopped their belligerent behavior? I'm not a historian, so eager to learn. — PolitiTweet.org

Giving Putin Crimea in 2014 did not prevent him from invading Ukraine on a bigger scale in 2022. On what basis do strategists assume that giving Putin more territory today will prevent future invasions? What is the logic? Or historical precedent? — PolitiTweet.org
