For me, this is encouraging. On one of Putin's most strident propaganda tv programs, they are allowing someone to argue for withdrawal, avoid a new Afghanistan, and let the Ukrainians handle "denazification" themselves. — PolitiTweet.org

Kortunov would never say this unless he was informed about Kremlin thinking. He is (Ive known him for 30 years). It's a signal to the West, like the signals that Peskov & Medvedev gave about the specific & unlikely conditions for Putin launching a nuclear war against the US. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Important signal about Russian escalation from well-connected Andrei Kortunov “There are still fears regarding strikes that may hit the territory of NATO member countries ... One certainly does not want to create a pretext for some further escalation.” 1/ https://t.co/2NxiURjIps — PolitiTweet.org

Generally, I think @POTUS is getting this difficult balancing between the risks of action versus the risks of inaction right. And we should keep updating our assessments when new information becomes available. 3/ END — PolitiTweet.org

Some argue we should not be arming Ukraine so as to not upset Putin. But think through the costs of that position -- massive Ukrainian casualties in Donbas, followed by a second assault on Kyiv, and maybe even more. Inaction is costly too. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Of course, we are guessing (& those of us not in USG, without classified intelligence) about Putin's proclivities for using nuclear weapons. This question cant be answered with certainties, only probabilistic guesses. But one also has to calculate the costs of inaction. THREAD 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Russian personalities who use their public profiles to foster support for Putin's war should be sanctioned. As Putin punishes those who speak out against his war, we should punish those who speak out in favor of his war. — PolitiTweet.org
