Rarely in history have unilateral ultimatums published in the name of enhancing "security" produced more security. Often, they have been used as pretexts for annexation and war. — PolitiTweet.org

@GerardAraud Not sure why time apart should matter. So it's ok to invade your neighbor as long as it's within a certain period after independence? — PolitiTweet.org

On this, we completely agree. — PolitiTweet.org

P.S. Reagan helped to restore democracy in Chile. It's a story not well known. With @adesnik , we wrote about it in @TWQ "Engaging Autocratic Allies to Promote Democracy" Volume 29, Number 2, Spring 2006, pp. 7-26. — PolitiTweet.org

I am not an expert on Chile. My approving tweet was simply prompted by the peaceful handover of power there through a free and fair election, a democratic act which we failed to achieve during & after our last presidential election. — PolitiTweet.org

At a moment when Putin is threatening Ukrainian democracy from aboard, Ukrainian leaders cannot be undermining democracy from within. — PolitiTweet.org

30 years ago, why did the USSR collapse? Why did Russia's nascent democracy fail? Will Russian autocracy endure forever? My answers are here: "Russia's Road to Autocracy," https://t.co/dhXrdejVm1 via @JoDemocracy — PolitiTweet.org

Ukraine, Russia, and Belarus all have shared history and culture, but Putin is threatening to invade Ukraine, not Belarus. Why? Because Ukraine is a democracy and Belarus is an autocracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

The U.S. and Canada have lots of shared history, culture, and language, but no one would invoke these factors as justification for a U.S. invasion of Canada today. So why are some analysts doing the same to justify Putin's threat to invade Ukraine? — PolitiTweet.org

Putin wants a Yalta 2.0, minus the Brits. That's a nonstarter. No negotiations about European security without Europeans -- Ukrainians included -- in the room. Instead, we must push for a Helsinki 2.0. — PolitiTweet.org
