TODAY at 3:10 p.m. @theworld.org on @wgbh.org Radio 89.7FM will air an interview w/ @clarkuniversity.bsky.social Professor Michael Butler. Butler will discuss international relations in the #Trump Administration, #RussiaUkraineWar mediation, + last week's #MunichSecurityConference.

Valerie Sperling, an expert on #Russian politics from @clarkuniversity.bsky.social is quoted in @newsweek.com: “#Trump reportedly seemed to endorse the resolution of #Russia's war against #Ukraine on #Putin's terms. This must be something that Putin's supporters would appreciate." #Academicsky

Clark University Professor Valerie Sperling told @articulo14.bsky.social “Trump appears willing to help Putin ‘make Russia great again.’” Sperling said “Trump and Putin's claims to political legitimacy ‘rest in part on an image based on machismo.’" www.articulo14.es/internaciona... #Academicsky

Clark U. Prof. Valerie Sperling, said “By talking w/ #Putin 1st, before talking w/ Ukrainian President #Zelensky, #Trump signaled that he has rejected the common-sense + ethical principle ‘Nothing about Ukraine w/o Ukraine.’ This appears to put Trump on the same side as the aggressor." #academicsky

Clark University Prof. Butler said, "The U.S. used [muscular mediation] a lot in the 1990s + it almost always backfired because it requires a major commitment to enforce the deal + keep everybody in line. I’d expect a similar result this time.” 2/2 #UkraineRussiaWar #diplomacy #Trump #academicsky

Clark University Political Science Prof. Michael Butler says #Trump is using "muscular mediation" to resolve the Russia-Ukraine war. "The approach is not without precedent," he said. Butler focuses on #securitystudies, #negotiation, #mediation + #ForeignPolicy (U.S. and European). 1/2 #academicsky
