After we were attacked on 9-1-2001, thank God our allies and friends around the world did not tell us to "find peace not war" with Al Qaeda. — PolitiTweet.org

The country invaded for no reason is the one that "needs to find peace not war." Incredible. This blame-the-victim argument is disgusting. Imagine saying this about victims of other crimes? Or civilians killed in other wars? Or those killed by other terrorists? — PolitiTweet.org

@michael_wasiura I have never heard of "pro-protestors" When do those protests occur? How many showed up? Who organized them? Maybe my take here was wrong? https://t.co/7O3UYTDduo — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

@michael_wasiura I dont recall federal channels covering either liberal or Khaborovsk protests. Can you provide data for that claim? I am genuinely interested. Writing about now. (but can cite anecdotes, need better data, for the article Im writing now for an academic journal) — PolitiTweet.org

Alexander, I don't claim to know Russian public opinion so well. (Ive been on Putin's sanctions list for 9 years!) On the contrary, I am constantly raising doubts about what we know. Here are a few pieces Ive written on the subject. 1/ THREAD — PolitiTweet.org
