"During Putin’s reign, most crises in relations with the United States have been triggered not by NATO expansion, but by democratic mobilizations — Putin calls them “color revolutions” — within countries, be it Georgia in 2003, Ukraine in 2004, the Arab Spring in 2011,..." 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

I dont know if Putin will invade again or not. I do think he does not make decisions based solely on rationalist cost-benefit analysis. We need to understand Putin's way of thinking, not assume he thinks like us. THREAD/ 1. — PolitiTweet.org

Putin knows one tragic fact about NATO that many on my twitter feed dont. NATO wont accept new members who have Russian soldiers occupying parts of their countries, because NATO members dont want a war with Russia. That's why Russia invaded Georgia in 2008 & Ukraine 2014. — PolitiTweet.org

Why were not thinking/debating/writing/tweeting about NATO expansion in 2009? 2010? 2011? 2012? 2013? 2014? 2015? 2016? 2017? 2018? 2019? 2020? Why are you now? Something change in Brussels? No. Putin massed his army on Ukraine's border and invented this "NATO expansion" crisis. — PolitiTweet.org

Let me clarify. Ukraine does not have a RIGHT to join NATO. NATO has no OBLIGATION to accept Ukraine. Membership must be earned and agreed to by all NATO members. That is all. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

Ukraine does not have a right to join NATO. And NATO (& other Americans) do not have the right to tell Ukraine to become neutral.

If Zelensky agreed to "neutrality", would Putin stop trying to undermine Ukrainian democracy and sovereignty? Of course not! Please read what Putin has said about Ukraine; he does not believe the country should exist. It's his own words, not mine. — PolitiTweet.org

Putin annexed Crimea, violating one of the core principles of the post-WWII order. Putin invaded Georgia & Ukraine & supports separatists in both places. Yet EVERYONE is debating NATO expansion! Give it up to the Kremlin; they are winning this information war. — PolitiTweet.org

No one is pushing for Ukraine membership into NATO now! Not Biden. Not Brussels. Not Zelensky. Please stop repeating this myth. (Ukraine hasn't even signed a MAP). B,B & Z are arguing that NATO door cant be closed permanently. Those are 2 different things. Stop conflating them! — PolitiTweet.org

It also would not stop Putin from undermining Ukrainian sovereignty and democracy. Why should anyone in Kyiv (or Washington) trust Putin to adhere to these new agreements, when he has violated so many others in past? 2/ END — PolitiTweet.org

I thought we all agreed no more "guilt by association"? But if Tom made this argument, I think he is wrong. Russia invaded Ukraine. How can outsiders command a sovereign country to declare neutrality after being invaded? Sounds rather imperial to me. THREAD 1/ — PolitiTweet.org
