The systemic US failure to accept responsibility for its own crimes undermines the credibility of its condemnations of Russia, particularly in the eyes of anyone who knows the history of NATO and US militarism. It is a gift to Putin's cause. — PolitiTweet.org

The US could immediately end all support for Saudi Arabia and “make it a pariah,” as Biden promised. The US could stop its drone strikes in Somalia and elsewhere. — PolitiTweet.org

This could begin with such actions as ending all support for Israel’s aggression against Palestine and recognizing the Palestinians’ legitimate right to self defense. — PolitiTweet.org
jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill
These crimes committed by the US and its NATO allies do not in any way excuse or justify Russia’s aggression. At the same time, history and context matter. If the US wants the moral high ground, it should cease its own ongoing war crimes and support for war crimes. — PolitiTweet.org

The US bombed the Chinese embassy, killing three journalists. The US-led NATO force bombed bridges and civilian infrastructure repeatedly. — PolitiTweet.org

The US-led NATO force bombed a civilian passenger train and then released a doctored video, sped up to make it appear as though it was a mistake made in a split second. This was a total fabrication. — PolitiTweet.org

The US-led NATO force used internationally-banned cluster bombs, including on a crowded marketplace in the city of Nis. — PolitiTweet.org

Under the command of US General Wesley Clark, NATO intentionally bombed Radio Television Serbia, killing 16 media workers, including technicians and makeup artists. — PolitiTweet.org
jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill
President Clinton sidestepped both the UN and the US Congress in initiating this bombing. Joe Biden was among its biggest cheerleaders. — PolitiTweet.org
jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill
During the 78 day NATO bombing of Serbia and Montenegro in 1999, the US-led NATO alliance committed similar or identical acts that it is now condemning Russia for in Ukraine. — PolitiTweet.org
jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill
It is intellectually dishonest to ignore the broken promises from the US & NATO regarding NATO expansion. It is lunacy to deny that Russia has legitimate security concerns posed by this expansion even if its response to these concerns is a heinous invasion. Both can be true. — PolitiTweet.org
jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill
While many statements from Western leaders may in fact be accurate regarding the nature of Russia’s actions, they must be placed in the context of their own militarism and well-documented hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy. — PolitiTweet.org
jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill
The US and other NATO nations are in a dubious position to claim moral high ground in condemning Russia’s actions. — PolitiTweet.org
jeremy scahill @jeremyscahill
Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is a bald faced act of aggression, replete with war crimes, and is rightly being condemned as such by large numbers of people and nations across the globe. — PolitiTweet.org

Is Joe Biden actually phasing out US drone wars? Strikes are down, but impunity for killing civilians remains the law of the land, and the NDAA is filled with money for new drone technology. https://t.co/4Fg1OjNHOd — PolitiTweet.org

I joined @AymanMSNBC to discuss ongoing drone strikes and the long-standing self-exoneration machine that kicks in when the US kills civilians. It remains entrenched under Biden. https://t.co/TJHmnPYUt9 — PolitiTweet.org

Two former Obama-era CIA directors have called on Biden to ratchet up threats against Iran, including "high-profile military exercises" to simulate "air-to-ground attacks on hardened targets and the suppression of Iranian missile batteries.” https://t.co/DLpz7YZj1F — PolitiTweet.org

Drone strikes have declined under Biden as the White House conducts a review of the rules for "targeted killing" operations. But the self-exoneration policy for killing civilians remains in force. Here's what we know about what's happening: https://t.co/4Fg1OjNHOd — PolitiTweet.org

Drone strikes have declined under Biden, but that may change. “Biden is carrying forward w/ development of a variety of drone aircraft that will be more & more guided by artificial intelligence until we cross the threshold into full AI-controlled attacks." https://t.co/4Fg1OjNHOd — PolitiTweet.org

“The sheer number of dead civilians from U.S. attacks without anything beyond a slap on the wrist reinforces the perception of impunity. How can we see a family destroyed by a drone strike in Kabul and keep saying there was no negligence?” https://t.co/XfhVunssIw — PolitiTweet.org

What does it say about a country that manages to stay the imperial course through such a diverse succession of leaders as George W. Bush (and Dick Cheney), Barack Obama, Donald Trump, and Joe Biden? https://t.co/H5T7wJY4Gp — PolitiTweet.org

In a gaffe that underscored the Biden administration’s Cold War posturing, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin referred to Russia as the USSR, saying, “The best case though is that we won’t see an incursion by the Soviet Union into the Ukraine.” https://t.co/XebkdM2qjs — PolitiTweet.org
