I am pro-Russian. True Russophiles understand that it would be absolutely horrible for Russians if Putin decided to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org

Putin ranted today about the (fictitious) "threat" to Russia of U.S. hypersonic missiles in Ukraine. Surely he understands, that hypersonic missiles, including his own, can launch & attack from anywhere. This is the 21st century, not the 19th. — PolitiTweet.org

Putin is a man of the 19th century. Tragically for him, and for us, he lives in the 21st century. — PolitiTweet.org

In his very first meeting with Medvedev in April 2009 in London, Obama explained why "privileged spheres of influence" is an antiquated concept. In 2021, that is even more true. — PolitiTweet.org

Putin wants a Yalta 2.0. We should counter with a Helsinki 2.0. https://t.co/fPjsDVj0kX — PolitiTweet.org

If Russia's system of government was a liberal democracy, there would be no drama today about "NATO expansion" or the "Ukrainian threat." — PolitiTweet.org

Russians are richer today and even freer today than most of their thousand-year history, At the same time, Russians could be even richer and freer under a more democratic system of government. — PolitiTweet.org

Putin is a dictator. Putin has annexed the territory of his neighbor. Putin had invaded his neighbors. Putin has killed or tried to kill, his political opponents. Putin has propped up dictators from Syria to Belarus. Yes, the West should talk to him, but with eyes wide open. — PolitiTweet.org

"Putin wants a replay of the 1945 Yalta agreement (in Russia they even speak of “Yalta 2.0”). In this new version, the United States and Russia (this time excluding Britain) would carve out spheres of influence in Europe. That is completely unacceptable." https://t.co/fPjsDVj0kX — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul
Putin published his opening positions for negotiations about European security. Here's my counter: https://t.co/fPjsDVj0kX — PolitiTweet.org
Michael McFaul @McFaul
"...few serious negotiations begin with one side drafting, let alone publishing, an entire agreement. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s move has the feel of an ultimatum. And ultimatums, as we know from history, are often pretexts for annexation or war." https://t.co/fPjsDVj0kX — PolitiTweet.org

@shifrinson Maybe because I engaged in the Russia debate with you today? Kind of rational for me to assume that no? — PolitiTweet.org

Then be more precise. When people don't understand "your work" as a writer, as a wise mentor once told me, it's the writer who has a problem, not the reader. — PolitiTweet.org

I just skimmed your feed. So, who then were the " vapid" ones? @eric_hontz ? Ambassador @steven_pifer ? @Andrew__Roth ? I'm genuinely interested to whom you were referring. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul
You didnt name anyone. So how was I to know that you weren't referring to me? I think today was the first time I had EVER responded to you. So forgive me if it wasn't clear. Please be more precise in the future. (And generally calling anyone "vapid" is not very nice.) — PolitiTweet.org

Snark is fine when people are discussing esoteric IR theories or Dua Lipa's boots. But when the discussion is about war and peace, I expect more from my colleagues in academia. Call me old-fashion. — PolitiTweet.org
Frank Bajak @fbajak
@McFaul Snarky putdowns on Twitter are just one manifestation of the new incivility, sadly.

The recent explosion of Putin experts on Twitter is quite striking. I'm sure China experts must feel the same way about all the newly-minted Xi experts on Twitter. — PolitiTweet.org
Michael McFaul @McFaul
I engaged your hypothesis about the "Russia debate" sincerely, with respect, and with a great deal of published academic work and USG experience informing my views on this debate. I do not appreciate you calling my remarks "vapid." Maybe this is all a game to you; it's not to me. — PolitiTweet.org
