@AntiWarParty1 @TheEconomist The Economist endorsed Lula. https://t.co/lRkGgKok0S — PolitiTweet.org

@danushman @CryptoParadyme The US spends 15 times more on its military than Russia. The US has already spent more on Ukraine than the annual Russian military budget. Russia can barely hold a Ukrainian city. How can you watch all that and think Russia is going to start bulldozing and conquering countries? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@gyorycs I'm not talking about what Ukraine should do. I'm talking about what my country, my government, should do. And the idea that advocating that the US should stay out is "colonialist" is the kind of neocon Orwellian madness that has prevailed from the start. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@bigasaplanet @ClareDalyMEP I feel sorry for people like who have been led to believe that Russia -- whose military spending is 1/15 that of the US, to say nothing of all the NATO countries, and who can barely hold a Ukrainian city -- is going to start conquering Poland, then Germany, then France, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

I don't fully understand the basis for the Economist's data. Polls in Brazil continue to show Lula with a 3-6 point lead. Both the 3rd and 4th place candidates have endorsed Lula (though it's very unclear how much their voters will listen). But this is what the Economist has. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

🇧🇷 The Economist -- which has been aggressively anti-Bolsonaro for years and has endorsed Lula -- now has the race at 50-50%. The run-off is Oct. 30. I personally still view Lula as the favorite, but Bolsonarismo had a massive surged missed by pollsters. https://t.co/6viBnNsY6A https://t.co/DvvKAiI3ZP — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

All over the world -- with the exception of the EU, which literally made it *illegal* to broadcast or platform Russian media -- this dissent on US war policies in Ukraine can be heard. Why, in the US, is Fox the only mainstream venue that will air this? https://t.co/t4jblsbybK — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And worst of all – assuming we somehow get out of this without the use of nukes – is that the dirtiest and most toxic neocon premises have again been rejuvenated and mainstreamed: Diplomacy is weakness. Avoiding war makes you Chamberlain. Dissent from US policy is treasonous. https://t.co/a3ZAqaWSVH — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

If you can find even one major difference between (a) not just standard mainstream liberals but what passes for the US left and (b) the David Frums, Lindsey Grahams, John Brennans and Bill Kristols of the world on foreign policy, tell me what it is? Where in DC are these aired? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Democrats are united – completely – in support of Biden's insanely wasteful and dangerous proxy war in Ukraine. So the Bernie/AOC wing (with a few exceptions) supports the neocon/neoliberal consensus or, too cowardly to dissent, just pretends the war isn't happening at all. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The problem is that there is little "real left" in the US. The Bernie/AOC 'left" is all that exists. And it's a joke, totally lost and without any ideological anchor. They're just Democrats, never saying anything to offend mainstream liberal sensibilities or neoliberal pieties. https://t.co/cdSKoFTrlM — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Opposition to CIA/NATO proxy wars of this sort – and to broader goals of sacrificing countries for the interests of a narrow slice of US elites – has always been found on the real left, the populist/isolationist right, and realism. That's where one still exclusively finds it. https://t.co/29kjJmQ6XU — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

From the start it's been clear – and reported – that US/NATO goal is not to save Ukraine, but to sacrifice it to weaken Russia. Like most US war policy, spending billions and risking nuclear war over who rules Donbas will benefit no Americans: just a tiny sliver of DC elites. https://t.co/gaJzijcS1S — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I understand the desire of Ukrainians outside of Donbas to be free of Russia. They should fight for as long as they want. But only monumental gullibility and historical ignorance could suggest US/UK – leading sponsors of Saudi and Egyptian despots – are motivated by freedom. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

That's because most of US liberalism and, sadly, much of the "US left" is far closer to the war mindset of Lindsey Graham, David Frum & Bill Kristol than Chomsky, Lula or Clare Daly. Thus, Ukraine dissent is found only on a few Fox shows, right-wing think tanks, the GOP caucus. https://t.co/1y02d0KllB — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

With the exception of a few leftist writers, there is just no debate of any kind about the US role in Ukraine on the US liberal-left. It doesn't exist. They're all in *total unanimity* in support of Biden/CIA/NATO's war policies, leading us to the brink of nuclear war. https://t.co/eq1JSjxsZA — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Then there's the international left generally. Here's EU Parliament member @ClareDalyMEP with a courageous, defiant and sensible speech that - like Trump's call for diplomacy - one would hear only from the US right. Imagine Bernie/AOC saying this (😂): https://t.co/Hf0Cy7MdBG — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And then there's the realist camp: proven right about everything. All of this – US/NATO prolonging the war with billions, Russian escalation, nuclear brinksmanship – was warned of by Mearsheimer. But also as usual, insane US neocon war-thirst prevailed. https://t.co/pAd9TANfFU — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

And then there's the most influential left-wing foreign policy thinker for decades, Noam Chomsky, who from the start has warned of the grave dangers of Biden/NATO treating this as a proxy war with Russia. Chomsky is echoing what was the anchor left-wing view on US militarism.👇 https://t.co/SjhxXo2xBk — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

What Lula said there is echoed by leftist leaders around the world (as well as by Bolsonaro, due to the traditional Brazilian role of diplomacy and his affinity for Russia). That's because Lula lived first-hand through US interference and foreign policy and knows it reality. https://t.co/JjgZXjx4WK — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It is only in the US and in a few of its most repressive NATO allies where debate is this narrow and closed. The mainstream US "left" is now claiming such great affinity for Lula. Yet look at what Lula - from the start - has been saying about the US role in the war in Ukraine. https://t.co/WpF9ASN2sM — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Worse – far worse – not one Democratic Party official in DC is willing to utter anything close to the very sensible remarks from Trump here. That's because - insanely - calls for diplomacy are cast as weakness, "appeasement," or pro-Kremlin treason. https://t.co/xR8oXvTOKb — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

By all accounts - including Joe Biden's - the world is closer to nuclear war than at any time since the Cuban Missile Crisis. Yet judging by current US discourse, this emergence of this severe danger is either exciting or trivial – anything but deeply alarming. https://t.co/HYQxfmRKc0 — PolitiTweet.org

@JpZuco Não sei o motivo desses erros maciços e sem precedentes nas pesquisas e não estou insinuando nada. Só sei que estavam errados em quantidades sem precedentes - 20 ou 30 pontos em algumas eleições importantes - e, portanto, não são fontes confiáveis até que sejam corrigidos. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@JpZuco Além da Reuters e dos outros exemplos que dei – jornais em todo o mundo chocados com o quão erradas as pesquisas brasileiras estavam – até o New York Times disse que Bolsonaro estava “provado” – suas palavras – sobre como as pesquisas. É chocante para todos, menos para vc. https://t.co/ZDvb01nQPJ — PolitiTweet.org
