A true gem of a document: Here's an 18-page verbatim transcript of President Clinton's June 2000 discussion with Putin. Published today in the State Department's FOIA Reading Room. https://t.co/ueVvOGTtqe

[Dr. Stephan Kieninger @DrKieninger]

Talbott briefed Clinton for the meetings w. Putin. His advice was to show reserve: “Some of my oldest friends in Moscow are saying that for the first time in a dozen or 15 years, there’s a real sense of fear in the air. And that smell emanates from the Kremlin, from Putin himself

My book on Strobe Talbott will be published in September and is available for pre-order. Yesterday, the book's website went live online: https://t.co/XOHpleoCLL

The book cover shows President Clinton, Talbott and Russian President Putin at the Moscow Summit in June 2000. Clinton and Talbott had a clear sense of Putinism. They saw Putin as a problematic leader and a dubious statesman early on.

🧵For three years the West has supported #Ukraine in its defense against #Russia. It has provided weapons, munitions and money without which Ukraine would not have been able to resist. What has been missing, however, is a vision and a strategy for Ukraine’s victory. 1/9

[Niall Ferguson @nfergus]

In case you were wondering, @ischinger objected to European troops being deployed to Ukraine as part of a postwar security guarantee, suggesting Indian or Chinese troops instead. This made me rather cross.

[Dr. Stephan Kieninger @DrKieninger]

Glad to share my article on Trump's misreading of Putin. History Suggests That Trump’s Approach to Putin Is All Wrong. I argue that Clinton actually had a good sense of Putin and saw his dangerous sides early on.

From @madebyhistory: Presidents dating back to Bill Clinton have courted Putin, only to have him ignore their views and engage in aggression

@fromTGA Yes, Ukraine needs NATO membership now! It needs the article 5 security guaarantee. That's the one and only credible deterrent!
