@toxicslurpy That was the same argument for the Vietnam War: we had to defend our South Vietnamese allies in defending their autonomy and democracy from the invasion and aggression by the North Vietnamese. In Iraq, it was: we're freeing Iraqis from the brutal tyranny of an evil dictator. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@KostjaMarschke @toxicslurpy No, the argument for the Vietnam War was that the US was defending its South Vietnamese allies trying to protect their democracy against invasion and aggression by the North Vietnamese. — PolitiTweet.org

@_RAUDI_ I don't blame the Ukrainians for doing everything they can to fight Russia. Since I'm not Ukrainian, that's not what I'm discussing. I'm discussing the role my government -- the US -- is playing in this war. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

On the weekly @GetCallin podcast I co-host with Q Anthony of @RZNWAMedia, yesterday we delved deeply into the latest developments in Ukraine and the disappearance of the "anti-war left" in the US. We also extensively discussed calls for more gun control: https://t.co/dhDTtywNTk — PolitiTweet.org

@toxicslurpy Like most liberals, you sound exactly like LBJ in 1965 defending the need to fight the Vietnam War, and Dick Cheney in 2002 arguing why the US must take out Saddam. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

On Fox last night, I spoke about the US role in the war in Ukraine as it reaches its 100th day, and specifically the obvious failure of the Biden Admin to try to resolve this diplomatically, instead doing what it can to extend and escalate the fighting: https://t.co/Vd2JhSYaJi — PolitiTweet.org

Please read this thread and then remember that a) this behavior is very common for corporate media: they just don't usually get caught and, more importantly, b) these are the people who say the internet must be censored to protect you from disinformation: https://t.co/vLRwiyqGjf — PolitiTweet.org

By adding major corrections to her stories, misogynistic Washington Post editors are bullying Taylor Lorenz and inciting violent online harassment against her. Next on MSNBC, we'll talk to the victimized reporter from her childhood home in Greenwich... — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Go read the lengthy, multi-pronged Washington Post "corrections" of the Taylor Lorenz story. They don't describe reckless errors the way she's displayed on so many other occasions. They describe outright fraud: deliberate, self-interested lying. https://t.co/lSWor7cnCO https://t.co/DnQUFApCje — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

They even showered themselves with Pulitzers for their fixation on this unhinged conspiracy theory out of some bad Tom Clancy novel. All hail the Warriors Against Disinformation and Truth-Devoted Internet Censors: https://t.co/j3lSi9YVgv — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The number 1 political story in US media for 4 years was the conspiracy theory that the Kremlin had seized control of the White House, and George W. Bush's FBI Director, Robert Mueller, would heroically expose the conspiracy and arrest Trump and his family, only to conclude this: https://t.co/TXkfE9Uaqw — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Andr3wW1l3s Yes, Americans are totally obsessed with a three-hour riot by 800 Trump supporters from Facebook that happened 1 1/2 years ago -- that's why Dems are so far ahead in polling. Americans don't care about economic suffering, crime, war, tech censorship or media lying. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Anyone who criticizes this influential corporate journalist who was raised in great wealth and routinely destroys powerless people's lives for fun is accused of being a misogynistic bully. Pitifully, for those who work in corporate media, this is terrorizing, so they stay quiet. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

People at NYT knew Taylor Lorenz was a reckless, unhinged liar who brought shame to the paper, and people at WPost know it, too. But journalists are petrified to speak out because somehow this child of privilege has been placed off-limits from criticism: https://t.co/qdUpsA3L31 — PolitiTweet.org

@MxShantastic @sville17 @JoshuaFeuerstei @theshgofdfw @NomikiKonst @Gonzalez4NY You're very confused: The time I was most dependent on billionaire funding was 2013-20, when I was at the Omidyar-funded Intercept, when you thought I did good work. Now, the vast majority of my income is from readers: I haven't been so independent since I started my 2005 blog. — PolitiTweet.org

Even if you support Biden's war policy in Ukraine and/or wish he'd be even more escalatory, I hope everyone will take the time to read that NYT op-ed because the media messaging in the West from the start of the war has been woefully one-sided. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Better late than never: the NYT publishes a very worthwhile op-ed by Christopher Caldwell, providing critical historic and strategic context to the aggressive US role in Ukraine, and why Biden has been trying to escalate, not diplomatically end, the war. https://t.co/KlSZJGHP3i — PolitiTweet.org

The WPost has said nothing about the determination by a Virginia jury this week that they published a defamatory op-ed that ruined someone's reputation. They said nothing about documented allegations Lorenz lied again. But on this, they act immediately: https://t.co/HLUDLRdTLx — PolitiTweet.org
