@mcfaulmike

The U.S. and Russia were both backing the same candidate in Hungary’s recent election (and he lost). Peter Magyar’s victory is great news for Hungary, Ukraine, Europe and small-d democrats everywhere. Read more: michaelmcfaul.substack.com/p/viktor-orb...

More from Michael McFaul

Even setting aside the moral case, supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression is strategic for the U.S. It lowers the risk of getting drawn into a wider NATO war in the Baltics if that aggression goes unchecked

The Cold War wasn’t just an arms race, it was a race of ideas. We invested in international development agencies & soft power tools to compete. Dismantling them as China expands its Belt and Road Initiative, and Russia expands its own global influence operations, is unilateral disarmament.

Russia isn't the reason Trump wants Greenland.

Trump is out of step with Americans and our allies—on Iran, on Putin, and on NATO. Tonight, he needs to clearly explain why we went to war with Iran after weeks of shifting positions. Don’t be surprised if the goals suddenly get “redefined” to claim victory.

Only weeks ago, Trump spoke in support of Iranians bravely risking their lives in the fight for freedom. Now, his team are negotiating with the same regime that has brutally suppressed these protests. Should they be?

Putin’s war is a tragedy with no winners. Russia isn’t stronger, safer, or more prosperous for invading Ukraine. Its economy is deeply strained, emigration has accelerated, and its demographic crisis has intensified.

Putin’s brutal war is a vanity project. He doesn’t care about Ukrainians—but he doesn't care about his own citizens either. This war ends when we strengthen Ukraine on the battlefield, tighten sanctions to starve Russia's war machine, and force Moscow to negotiate on equal terms. W/ @news.sky.com.

Alexei Navalny loved Russia and opposed Putin. Patriotism and dissent are not contradictions. Loving your country doesn’t mean staying silent about its leaders. No one should be murdered for speaking out.

Trump helped turn the Strait of Hormuz into a global crisis—and now he’s looking to China to help bail us out. Think about how that makes us look to the rest of the world.

Michael McFaul

We’ve spent billions on the world’s largest navy, yet cheap Iranian drones can shut the Strait of Hormuz, and we have no answer. Ukraine has vast experience countering such drones, but Trump has arrogantly dismissed Zelensky’s offer of help. We need to catch up. Fast.

Congress already handed DHS $191 BILLION. Now Trump and Stephen Miller want $70 billion MORE for mass deportation with no oversight, no reform, and no respect for due process. This isn’t safety. It’s cruelty with a price tag. Congress must say no. Learn more: americasvoice.org/press_releas...
