Policy differences aside, I always found Special Representative of the President of Russia for the Middle East and Africa Hon. Mikhail Bogdanov to be an extremely capable diplomat when I served as US ambo to Russia. Nice to see him see him still in action. — PolitiTweet.org

@LagunaMary1 @Stanford In my seminar today, there were students from Lebanon, Israel, and a few other Arab and Muslim majority countries. — PolitiTweet.org

@blueskies_2020 @Stanford They are the small minority here. But yes, we do have debates/pluralism here. — PolitiTweet.org

China is "meddling" in my "domestic affairs." My wife is half-Chinese; my sons a quarter Chinese. Both of them study Mandarin. We eat Chinese food 2-3 times a week! For this Irish-Catholic kid from Montana, I feel overwhelmed! We only eat corned beef one day a year - 3/17. — PolitiTweet.org

In my seminar today, we had a smart, nuanced, sensitive, principled discussion about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. For those who make sweeping generalizations about university students based on limited/zero data, you should come spend some time with us here @Stanford. — PolitiTweet.org

@yoavlurie P.S. If you believe that Russians and Chinese think of their civilizations as "just" nationalities, you obviously haven't studied their histories very closely. — PolitiTweet.org

@MckeeDL13 No, I am not just realizing now. — PolitiTweet.org

@SeanAlexanderB2 @yoavlurie good point. — PolitiTweet.org

Those on my feed were invoking "anti-Semitism" and "anti-Islam." That's why I used those terms. (explanation, not excuse). — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

That was not my intention. (and this is exactly the kind of gotcha game that makes me and many others afraid to engage on this subject.) BTW, for Putin and Xi, "Russia" and "China" are much more than a "nationality," -- but leaving this discussion in 3... 2... 1. — PolitiTweet.org

It's ok to say you don't know enough about a subject to pontificate on it. As I've grown older, I've become much more comfortable saying "I don't know." — PolitiTweet.org

Dr. @BrankoMilan , I’ve been a fan of your work for a long time, but you are making sweeping generalizations here not grounded in data. Comparativists study all of these countries, not just the difference between Sweden vs. Norway. Pump the brakes. Thumb through @JoDemocracy. — PolitiTweet.org
