Putin's support in Russia is at an all-time low, so throw him an anchor, not a Trump and Macron lifeline. My new WaPo op-ed: washingtonpost.com/opinions/globa…
My op-ed contains a link to this open letter against Putin's repression, signed by dozens of prominent figures from politics, academia, and the arts. khodorkovsky.com/khodorkovskys-…
Trump advocates for Putin—when he's not exchanging love letters with Kim Jong-un & inviting the Taliban. The Dem debate didn't even mention Russia, letting both Trump and Putin off the hook. washingtonpost.com/opinions/globa…

Indeed. The myth of engagement, that dictatorships would liberalize and become more like the free world due to economic ties, has been convincingly refuted once more by Putin and Xi Jinping.
Putin took all the western money, all the photo-ops with democratic leaders, & used them to crush opposition & civil society in Russia. Then he pivoted to open aggression against the engagers, and they still won't wake up.
Engagement is appeasement & the flow of political influence is one-way. It funds domestic repression & spreads authoritarian corruption to the free world. It gives dictatorships open access to free world money, tech, financial & legal systems, and media.

Trump's Syria move is another inexplicable gift to Putin and will have real human costs, not just destroying American credibility as an ally and provoking issues within NATO (Putin's real dream.)
Americans want to disentangle from foreign wars and huge military spending. But power abhors a vacuum and Americans aren't going to like the new-old world order of regional power struggles & global instability.
As the world's largest economy, no nation benefits more than the US from stability & being a reliable ally. Putin & other dictatorships want a purely transactional model, based not on shared values but on quid pro quo, to coin a phrase.

As I wrote when Putin invaded Ukraine in 2014, turning it into the front line of his war on the global order of alliances & law. Supporting Ukraine is existential for the modern, post-WWII world. nydailynews.com/opinion/stop-m…
"Failing to push back against Putin over Ukraine will also have far-reaching repercussions that cannot fail to affect American interests. A world where American security guarantees are worthless is a more dangerous place for all." 16 Mar 2014
As for Trump's place, it's about Russia and his continued bizarre loyalty to Putin, of course, to discredit the proof of election hacking. Biden dirt was just impeachable icing on a treason cake.

Nuit de #breaking(s) qui mettent la présidence #Trump en état de siège. Le plus important: le coup de fil suspect de Trump qui a déclenché le signalement par le lanceur d'alerte était au président de l'#Ukraine Zelensky, d'après le @washingtonpost. washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
@washingtonpost 2) Le président #Trump a donc "promis" et en tout cas agi avec le président d'#Ukraine Zelensky de façon jugée assez illégale pour qu'1 officier de renseignement déclenche un signalement légal d'alerte. Question: qu'a-t-il pu bien faire?
@washingtonpost 3) Et c'est là le 2nd #breaking: on ne sait pas sur quoi porte la plainte du lanceur d'alerte car l'inspecteur général du renseignement Atkinson,autorité supposée indépendante, a avoué hier au Congrès être bloqué par le directeur du renseignement de #Trump nytimes.com/2019/09/19/us/…
