The Biden administration was right to raise the threat to international security from Russia's military mobilization on Ukraine's border at the UNSC. https://t.co/CglSH5I2No — PolitiTweet.org

@Bershidsky @SPlokhy @RichardEngel But why has the Biden administration played up the imminence of an attack? What, in your view, is their strategy? What objectives are they seeking to achieve from these comments? — PolitiTweet.org

Lavrov definitely liked the American written response to Putin's bilateral "draft treaty," better than the NATO response to the other "draft treaty." Check him out here: Министр иностранных дел Сергей Лавров: интервью четырем радиостанциям / ... https://t.co/CNThS7ICUy — PolitiTweet.org

In my (outdated) experience, they always have spoken together & voted together, w/ Russia often in lead. Big exception of course was 2014. Today they seemed more passionately together. That's different. But eager for China experts to weigh in. @AlexGabuev @EvanFeigenbaum @fravel — PolitiTweet.org

Western leaders are rightly talking to Putin. That diplomacy should not be confused with respect. Police officers also talk to hostage-takers, but dont respect them. If Putin wants respect, as many claim, he should stop invading countries and jailing/killing his own people. — PolitiTweet.org

Lavrov responded to a question from me (and one he thought was from me but was not) asked by @aavst as a listener of @EchoMskRu. He didn't seem pleased. And 8 years since I worked in government, he's still blaming me for bad US-Rusis relations! Лавров меня не любит! — PolitiTweet.org

@Bershidsky @SPlokhy PS, to be clear, I dont think Zelensky is talking nonsense. He is very rationally trying to keep his society calm, avoid bank runs, hoarding, etc. Id do exactly the same thing. But what politicians say and what they actually think are not always congruent. That's universal! — PolitiTweet.org

@Bershidsky @SPlokhy Phone lines between the US and Ukraine work, I use them frequently. See also @RichardEngel reporting from Mariupol today. But seriously, why do you think the West in your words is "crying wolf"? West wants war? West doesn't understand Putin? What's your complaint? — PolitiTweet.org
