"The West shouldn’t back down in the face of Putin’s threats" ... and Biden now is not! Congrats to the @POTUS team for leaning in to help Ukraine win this war. But always more to be done: https://t.co/Uw1jqBm7Hq — PolitiTweet.org

You are a very rich man. (Google says you're with $50 million) You have 1.7 million followers on this platform, You have a moral responsibility to do SOMETHING to stop this horrible killing. No free passes for rich, influential people like you. 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

As a U.S. citizen, who didn't commit crimes in CA or Iras, I have a right to ask my country to do the right thing now, even if it did the wrong thing before. And you should be doing the same. And if not this, what are you PERSONALLY doing to stop Putin's killing in Ukraine? 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

Hey John, two wrongs don't make a right. And I'm sorry, but to equate Putin's slaughter of innocent civilians with what the US did in Central America is just wrong. The US did many horrible things in CA & Iraq. The US did not deliberately kill babies with cruise missiles. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

By the way Putin kills ethnic Russians in Ukraine, by the way he shows little regard for the lives of Russian soldiers, by the way that he has ruined the Russian economy for Russians, Putin shows clearly that he doesn't care about ordinary Russians at all. — PolitiTweet.org

People more expert than me on Slovenian politics have pointed out that Jansa's defeat is not a clear victory for pro-democratic forces. The "anti"-coalition is a complicated one. But any time a pro-Putin nationalist is voted out of office, it's good news. — PolitiTweet.org

Now that Macron has won, time for the EU to get more serious about additional sanctions against Russia. We have some ideas in this "Action Plan on Strengthening Sanctions against the Russian Federation". https://t.co/47bQUIl009 — PolitiTweet.org

In the long run Im confident that democracy will win out over dictatorship globally because democratic ideas are better than autocratic alternatives. But momentum matters. Democracy in the world has some new momentum now. Victory in Donbas would accelerate it even further. 5/ END — PolitiTweet.org

However, the next critical battle in the war between democracy and dictatorship is unfolding now in the Battle of Donbas. Small d democrats around the world must do all they can to help democratic Ukraine defeat autocratic Russia on the battlefield. 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

Coming after Trump's defeat in 2020, the defeat of the January 6th insurrection in 2021, and Putin's failures n Ukraine, democratic ideas feel resurgent now. Small d democrats are winning; anti-democrats are losing (Orban's reelection was a setback of course). 3/ — PolitiTweet.org
