So illogical. It’s arguments like this that block any rational progress towards more pro-life gun policies. — PolitiTweet.org

Who of you picked Oregon State, UCLA, Colorado, and USC all going to the Sweet Sixteen? I did. 2-2 so far! (Bragging now before the tough evening games.) Go #Pac12Hoops! — PolitiTweet.org

I agree. He obviously brought a professional photographer along to snap shots of him and Shoigu (in matching outfits no less.). But I've decided that vacationing habits of autocrats is not my area of expertise. I'll let others more well-qualified comment. — PolitiTweet.org

Actually, that's a great question. China has some excellent specialists on the US. I fear that their analysis is not getting heard much these days at the top. — PolitiTweet.org

Have you ever met an American that said to you, "I desire world domination." I've lived here for over a half-century and have never met such a person, not in the White House, Pentagon, CIA, Montana, or California. — PolitiTweet.org

People have pointed out that it's none of my business to comment on Putin's vacationing habits and practices. Upon reflection, I now agree. Deleting the tweet below. — PolitiTweet.org

As a professor sanctioned by Putin, I'm probably biased, but "decoupling" of academic and scientific ties rarely serves the long-term interests of either governments or societies. END THREAD 2/ — PolitiTweet.org

Successful Amerian foreign policy should always pursue concrete security, economic, or normative goals, not "good" or "bad" relations, and then select the best means for achieving these concrete goals, be it engagement, cooperation, coercion, deterrence, or disengagement. 3 END — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

Conversely, "bad relations" also should never be a goal of U.S. foreign policy. Coercive or confrontational policies are only means to more concrete policy objectives ends. Happy talk with no real outcomes is a failed policy. Tough talk with no real outcomes is a failed policy. 2 — PolitiTweet.org

Michael McFaul @McFaul

As analysts celebrate or lament the absence of reset with China now, remember "good relations" was never the goal of the reset with Russia. The New START Treaty, harsher UNSC sanctions on Iran, new supply routes to Afghanistan, etc were the goals; engagement was the means. THREAD — PolitiTweet.org
