    1. Michael McFaul has a hell of an impressive CV: former ambassador to Russia, current professor at Stanford. But in recent weeks he's achieved a new height as frequent Twitter Main Character of the Daypic.twitter.com/Q3ayhr0LN9

        2. This tweet (like more than a few recent McFaul comments, apologized for & deleted) shows how power his Main Character of the Day abilities are. It was denounced by people across the political spectrum, left, right, center, non-political. Everyone hated it.pic.twitter.com/HcrmGmaLd4

        3. If McFaul were just a former diplomat who says goofy things, that would be one thing. But he is also a pundit with access to large platforms (cable news & top newspapers) and is also, in his goofiness, emblematic of ideas & attitudes that have done tremendous harm.

        4. Long-time McFaul watcher @DavidKlion & I talked about this embarrassing ambassador, his decades of being at the forefront of Russia/USA relations, and the illusions that fed into the current crisis.https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/podcast-michael-mcfaul-the-embarrassing?r=bh54&s=w&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=email …

        I would like to label this the @RichardEngel Effect. Prerequisite is Lack of sleep + unparalleled time spent on an issue few have even been exposed to.

        I get the sense maybe he's done a lot of coattail riding in his career. Now that people are looking to him for his expertise, we're all learning it isn't really that deep.

        Who on Maddow blog is saying Hitler didn't kill German speakers in Germany. He killed 50,000 plus German speaking Jews. (Plus as many"ethnic Germans". Can't believe Rachel herself would say this.)

        I feel like you’re missing the main part of this: McFaul was the chief architect of Obama’s reset policy—and according to his own memoirs, he mistranslated “reset” before the first meeting with Lavrov. Much of the failure of the last ten years of 🇷🇺🇺🇸diplomacy falls on him.
