It is striking that 2021 was the most repressive year in post-Soviet Russian history, the year before Putin is now threatening to invade Ukraine again. Spurious correlation? I doubt it. — PolitiTweet.org

It bothers me that so many American analysts focus on "what Biden needs to do" to defuse the Russia-Ukraine crisis and so few focus on "what Putin needs to do." — PolitiTweet.org

For anyone who has been following closely the NATO-Ukraine issue, Biden said nothing new today. Here's what one "Russia hawk" wrote last August: "the hard reality is that Ukraine today is not qualified to join NATO." https://t.co/I6PXWdqqaF — PolitiTweet.org

NB, I still dont believe the promise of new sanctions, current levels of military assistance to Ukraine, or threats to deploy NATO soldiers closer to Russia's borders is enough to change Putin's calculus. But I firmly believe that Biden is trying to change Putin's calculus. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

This Biden-greenlighted-an-invasion-of-Ukraine is absurd. Biden has built a coalition to impose major sanctions on Russia should Putin invade. Biden also pledged $650 million in security assistance to Ukraine. That's deterring, not greenlighting war. 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

On this we agree! I recently wrote an academic article in @Journal_IS on exactly this topic. (Im an academic after all!). Tell me what I got wrong. "Putin, Putinism, and the Domestic Determinants of Russian Foreign Policy" https://t.co/lCcipNSHpq — PolitiTweet.org

If we want to draw conclusions about the drivers of Russian policy, we need to start by understanding how the Kremlin sees the world.

NATO has had an Open Door policy since 1949. You are suggesting a radical change to that longstanding policy. I think it'd be bad policy & bad politics. But Ukraine is not qualified to join now. And Moscow, Kyiv, Brussels knows that. — PolitiTweet.org

Biden has rightly provided more military assistance to Ukraine. They also (from what I understand) allowed the Javelin anti-tank missiles to be taken out of storage in western Ukraine and moved to the east. And now, the U.S. and our allies should be providing even more assistance — PolitiTweet.org
