As you read about Russian false flags, a good time to reread John Dunlop's book, "The Moscow Bombings of September 1999: Examinations of Russian Terrorist Attacks at the Onset of Vladimir Putin's Rule (2014), https://t.co/iR7ecztOEK (Posting without endorsing all conclusions) — PolitiTweet.org

And add new security issues that have arisen since Helsinki 1.0 in 1975 -- missile defenses, immigration, cyber. In such a multilateral and multidimensional negotiation, much more room for trade space among all parties than a narrow negotiation over just Ukraine/NATO. 2/ END — PolitiTweet.org

I remain unconvinced that Putin actually wants to join a serious negotiation about European security. But if he does, we should embrace it. Call it Helsinki 2.0. Such a negotiation could reinvigorate dead and dying agreements -- INF, CFE, Vienna Docs, Open Skies, etc. 1/ THREAD — PolitiTweet.org

"That violates the Helsinki Final Act. Still, a few ideas in the Russian treaties are worthy of discussion, including limits on arms, deployments and exercises." https://t.co/fPjsDVj0kX 5/ END THREAD — PolitiTweet.org

"To mention but one example, great powers cannot dictate to other countries what multilateral organizations that can and cannot join — contrary to Moscow’s expressed desire to limit’s Ukraine choices regarding affiliations with European security institutions." 4/ — PolitiTweet.org

Perhaps with former NATO leaders on the team, this nongovernmental group could monitor Ukraine’s progress toward meeting NATO’s requirements. 3/ END THREAD https://t.co/I6PXWdqqaF — PolitiTweet.org

Zelensky should focus instead on implementing necessary domestic reforms to prepare Ukraine for NATO membership without formally signing a MAP. He could appoint or signal support for an independent commission to articulate his own MAP-like plan. 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

What I wrote about Ukraine-NATO on eve of Zelensky visit last summer: " Zelensky should stop asking — for now — to sign a NATO Membership Action Plan (MAP). MAPs do not provide security guarantees, and the hard reality is that Ukraine today is not qualified to join NATO." 1/ — PolitiTweet.org

On this we disagree. And that’s ok. It’s a disagreement about history, which I’m happy to debate another time. (Trump and Putin shared many views on the world, an assessment which Trump himself has affirmed) Right now, my focus is on trying to avoid war in Europe. — PolitiTweet.org
