"Ukrainians will ultimately defeat Putin’s army," writes @McFaul "Ukraine will be sovereign and free once again. Only two questions are unanswered: How long will it take? And how many Ukrainians will have to die before Putin’s soldiers finally leave?" ow.ly/jEyy50IvECO
“Stop saying Russia when you mean Putin,” says our @LarryDiamond "Our conflict is not with the Russian people. It is with a predatory ruling elite that has hijacked Russia’s state and its vast natural resource wealth." bit.ly/2vGsQhQ
Proud to have our @FSIStanford director @McFaul today with our #draperhills18 fellows from 23 countries discussing democracy. McFaul founded this program 14 years ago and his lecture is always a highlight of the fellowship for the fellows, faculty and the staff present.
