@mehdirhasan @PeterBeinart @POTUS I am not an expert on the Middle East.(I believe expertise matters, btw) But no, on many of the questions above, I have different views than Trump. But we are talking about supporting PUTIN'S views, not another American president. Sorry, there is a difference. — PolitiTweet.org

@PeterBeinart @POTUS To paraphrase Marx, class consciousness is knowing what side of the fence you are. If you are on the side of the fence with evil, aka Putin, maybe time for a little rethinking. — PolitiTweet.org
Michael McFaul @McFaul
@PeterBeinart @POTUS It’s not stooping. . It’s asking people to think harder about their arguments. If you are echoing Putin, and blaming Biden for the “March to war”, maybe you need to do a little more research about the logic of your argument and data supporting it. — PolitiTweet.org

I support Biden policy. I find it truly hard to believe that Pompeo and Cotton are supporting Biden’s policy. But it’s one thing to support Bidens views. It’s another to support Putins . — PolitiTweet.org

ICYMI, @PeterBeinart my latest "argument." (My last 5 @PostOpinions columns have 'made an argument.') Tell me how I'm wrong. Bring some data to support your hypothesis. I'll respond. https://t.co/vrGCbZMQyS — PolitiTweet.org
Peter Beinart @PeterBeinart
@McFaul @mehdirhasan And you agree with Mike Pompeo and Tom Cotton. This guilt-by-association stuff is dumb. Just make your argument.

No, state "leaders" pursuing good and evil (and I dont just mean Putin.) I have never met "Mr. State." When I was ambassador, I would never clear on cables that had phrases like, "Russia believes", or "Russia wants" or Russia thinks." Ive never met "Ms. or Mr. Russia." — PolitiTweet.org

Let's discuss. I think the close 'NATO door = peace' is a flawed argument based on a misunderstanding of Putin and U.S national interests. Ive studied VVP for 20 years. Happy to explain my argument and Ill bring some data (Im a professor, after all, not a politician or pundit) — PolitiTweet.org

@McFaul Let’s do it. I’ll find a time.
Michael McFaul @McFaul
And I mean no disrepect, but Ive written 60 articles & 2 books about Putin, met him in 1991, dealt with him for 5 years directly at the highest levels, studied Russia most of my life. Please have some respect for expertise vs opeders. Happy to debate you on this if you're ready — PolitiTweet.org
Michael McFaul @McFaul
I agree with @POTUS. I have no idea what Pompeo and Cotton are saying-- dont really track those guys closely. & sorry @PeterBeinart , but few have 'made an argument' & added data about this debate than me. Believing that closing NATOs door = peace is a flawed, naive argument. — PolitiTweet.org

There is good and evil in the world. There is right & wrong. Do not pretend that international politics is just states pursuing their rational self interests. — PolitiTweet.org

If Germany doesn't want to provide Ukraine with lethal military assistance, then what about economic assistance? Financial support for the hryvnia? Putin's threat of invasion is doing real damage to the Ukrainian economy. — PolitiTweet.org
Michael McFaul @McFaul
Putin has violated many previous agreements signed by Russia regarding European and Ukrainian security. So why should we believe that he would not violate a new agreement about no new NATO expansion in return for no new invasions? (A deal of course, that I dont support.) — PolitiTweet.org
Michael McFaul @McFaul
Moreover, Putin knows NATO/Biden cant accept his language on closing NATO's door. So that language is either there because he wants a pretext to invade or he will pull off of that maximalist positions during serious negotiations (probably at end, not beginning) 3/ END — PolitiTweet.org

Even in everyday life negotiations, who does that? Who accepts the initial salary offer for a new job? Who pays full price for a house or business? Who just says yes to everything in a piece of legislation when dropped? 2/ — PolitiTweet.org
Michael McFaul @McFaul
What is strange about some of the commentary on the current crisis is that people like Hawley want to capitulate to Russia's most maximalist demands at the very beginning of negotiations. So odd to me. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

The Russians did not take that demand off the table until the very END of negotiations. But they finally did. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

During our negotiations with Russians on New START Treaty, Moscow said they would never, never, never sign the treaty without limitations on missile defense. We said we couldn't agree to that maximalist demand. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

If you find yourself agreeing with both Putin and Hawley in your analysis on Ukraine, maybe time to reconsider your assumptions? Happy to explain on your show @mehdirhasan! — PolitiTweet.org

Super useful thread from @Igor_Denisov . Putin wants you to believe that Xi is 100% supporting his reckless behavior. But Xi is not signing up. (At least not yet). Good sign. Let’s now read closely both readouts of Xi-Putin meeting on Friday. — PolitiTweet.org

Putin has been trying to undermine Ukrainian democracy and sovereignty since 2004. The current military buildup is just the latest action in this campaign. Ukraine's economy already is taking real hits because of Russian soldiers on the border. If it lasts long, very damaging. — PolitiTweet.org
