@MaxAbrahms Yep. I am not saying that this would be his only option. But the assumption that he will ONLY escalate -- & he has one escalatory option, a nuclear attack -- is not correct. (Losers sue for peace -- literature on that too.) — PolitiTweet.org

If Putin is loosing badly in Ukraine, conventional wisdom says he will then escalate and use nukes. That’s a scary move that must be taken seriously. But Putin has other options. Calling for a ceasefire which allows him to keep Crimea and Donbas under occupation is also an option — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

Putin will negotiate if he is losing in Ukraine. He will only feel like he is losing if he has to worry about losing Crimea. Giving Ukraine weapons to threaten Crimea therefore could speed up an end to the war. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

Putin would become a total pariah in the world if he used a nuclear weapon. Maybe he doesn’t care. I think he does. — PolitiTweet.org

"In addition to greater quantities of weapons, the United States and its allies should upgrade the quality of weapons being supplied. At the top of this list should be the long-range missile system called ATACMS." THREAD 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

Ukrainian pilots also should begin training to fly F-16 fighter jets. Eventually, either in later stages of this war or for enhanced deterrence after the war, Ukraine’s air force will need to switch from Soviet/Russian-made planes to U.S. fighter aircraft. https://t.co/2fQLszh4NI — PolitiTweet.org
