Saw a #MichaelMcFaul interview claiming best next steps re: #UkraineWar 🇺🇦 are...

1 designate Russia 🇷🇺 an official state sponsor of terrorism.
2 increase all sanctions.
3 give Ukraine offensive weapons needed.

Baffled why 1st not happening so ended up here...& get this...poor #Cuba 🇨🇺 is designated!

Boils dn to game of chicken the world is losing to a megalo-genocidal bully-manic due in large part to linguistics.

Crazy we not doing better w/ non-military tactics!!!

How is this fast-evolving crisis best addressed? Does it demand a resolute & relentless push by the West to punish, isolate and degrade Putin’s Russia economically, politically & militarily?

Or is a solution to be found in acknowledging Russia’s security needs & finding ways to mutually de-escalate the war, sooner not later?

great presentation on both sides!
