Those with resources can leave Russia. I know many doing just that. Keep leaving. (I hope my government will welcome these refugees.) 3/ — PolitiTweet.org

But of course, every Russian must make a personal decision about how to express their disgust with this war. Not everyone can risk being arrested. But no one can continue to do nothing. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

From his jail cell, @navalny has called for Russians to protest against this war. The very least we can do from afar is support Navalny's position (just as we did with Mandela decades ago.) 1/ THREAD — PolitiTweet.org

My colleagues in the Ukrainian government are pleading with me from their bunkers to urge NATO to get this done. Now! Before Putin's destroys all airports. — PolitiTweet.org

I thought so. But I was asked the question, so raised it. — PolitiTweet.org

Exactly the same. But protesting ala 2011 is not the only way to signal your disgust with this war. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

We can excuse babushkas in Omsk watching Putin's propaganda for supporting the war. There is no excuse, however, for Moscow elites for remaining silent right now. Speak up. Leave. Take small acts of civic resistance. But do something! I guarantee you will feel better for it. — PolitiTweet.org

Путинская военная “стратегия” кажется состоит просто в полном разрушении Украины, включая вырезание гражданских. Это просто ужас. Однажды он должен понести ответственность. — PolitiTweet.org

It is immoral to provide revenue to Putin's regime right now. All US and European companies still doing business in Russia must stop now. The long-term reputational costs of indirectly funding Putin's war are greater than the short-term profits. — PolitiTweet.org

It is immoral to be providing revenue to Putin's regime right now, which underwrites his horrific war. Biden must halt all Russian oil imports now. — PolitiTweet.org

To those still arguing how the US caused his war, I would respond with too much emotion if I engaged now. So , instead, read this academic article. And then lets continue this debate several months from now. But not now. — PolitiTweet.org

@JerryDunleavy I was echoing what Navalny says amost word for word about these Russian fence sitters. But carry on with your self-righteous indifference, as Ukrainian kids continue to be slaughtered and Navalny sits another day in jail. — PolitiTweet.org

I had a long exchange last night with a FB follower in Rostov. It was so depressing. It was so shocking what he/she said about the war - just repeating Putin's lies. The disinformation bubble that Russians currently live in must be popped. — PolitiTweet.org
