SAT?

Michael McFaul is a renowned scholar on Russia and democracy, the inclusion of what he got in the SAT when he was 16 is rather trite. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.233.20.105 (talk) 04:10, 20 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio

Just for the record, I have deleted the bulk of the text from this article, as it was an almost word for word copy/paste from http://seaf.stanford.edu/people/michaelamcfaul/. Joshdboz (talk) 06:48, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Radical

I'm not sure "radical" is an appropriate term for McFaul. It implies that he is somehow outside of the mainstream. In fact two days ago (19 Feb 2009) he was appointed director of the White House National Security Council: http://fsi.stanford.edu/news/stanfords_michael_mcfaul_named_special_assistant_to_the_president_for_national_security_affairs_and_senior_director_at_the_national_security_council_20090219/

Without anymore context, his quote also seems misleading. It is an old passage from 2002, and his viewpoints have seemed to evolve over the years. I am deleting his quote, adding in the factual information about his appointment and I will leave it up to others to explain his positions. Kramer (talk) 15:05, 21 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Confrontation with NTV

If someone can add this to the article or find better sources. McFaul is allegedly being harassed by news reporters.

is this is true McFaul is quite the bully


Ryan Lizza of the New Yorker is reporting that Michael McFaul, the US ambassador to Russia, called a member of the human rights delegation today and asked her to pass on to the message to Snowden that he is not a whistleblower. 

   US amb. to Russia @McFaul reportedly called member of human rights delegation, asked her to relay to Snowden that he isn't a whistleblower.

I’ve asked McFaul and Tanya Lokshina of Human Rights Watch, the only woman among the human rights representatives at the meeting, if this is true.

from the gurrdian http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2013/jul/12/edward-snowden-to-meet-amnesty-and-human-rights-watch-at-moscow-airport-live-coverag And snowden is indeed a whistle blower, mr mcfaul. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.44.140.134 (talk) 15:20, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]


and it seems McFaul doesn't think it's ok for people to spy on him, but it's ok for the US government to spy on you "Funny that no one seemed to care about Russia's capabilities for such things when the U.S. ambassador to that country, Mike McFaul, tweeted last year: "Everywhere I go NTV [Russian television] is there. Wonder who gives them my calendar? Wonder what the laws are here for such things?" He added: "I respect press right to go anywhere and ask any question. But do they have a right to read my email and listen to my phone?" http://www.nvdaily.com/opinion/2013/07/rachel-marsden-foreign-outrage-over-snowden-affair-is-laughable.php — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.44.140.134 (talk) 16:09, 12 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"A Hoover Institution Peter and Helen Bing Senior Fellow, McFaul is a Democrat who was the architect of U.S. President Barack Obama's policy on Russia."

This pretty much says it all. McFaul is part of the US far right political elite ---- a neocon.

Obama's Russia policy is to promote war, aggression, and violence and then to blame Russia for that war, aggression, and violence.

I heard an interview with McFaul on PBS today in which he talked extensively about violence in Ukraine and repeatedly said that Putin and Russia need to end that violence. Not a word about the US, NATO, and Europe acting to end the violence for which they are largely to blame.

McFaul is nothing but another of the many criminals who make up the US Political Class. ---Dagme (talk) 00:50, 6 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
