@allen12291958 @tangentarine Saudi Arabia and Egypt murder dissidents of every kind - political, religious and social - en masse, all while the US supports and props them up. That's why most countries laugh at US sermons about isolating bad regimes. Brazil, not the US, decides who Brazil does business with. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@rich_goldberg Numerous media outlets in multiple countries ran articles on the one-year anniversary of the war in Ukraine on how the US has failed to unite the world - most of it - behind its war efforts in Ukraine because so few countries believe US rhetoric about its values and goals. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MackJ Elizabeth Warren and Donna Brazille also said the DNC "rigged" the 2016 primary election in favor of Hillary and against Bernie. As Tucker was doing in that article, they weren't talking about voting machine fraud but how establishment forces colluded to manipulate the outcome. https://t.co/6n2n0KBvcu — PolitiTweet.org

@rich_goldberg Brazil didn't invade and destroy Iraq. It didn't bomb Libya into oblivion and leave it to rot under ISIS, slavery and anarchy. It didn't turn Syria into a years-long bloodbath or bomb Yemen to the brink of starvation. The US has very little moral credibility for these sermons. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@rich_goldberg That the US props up the planet's most savage and despotic regimes -- from Riyadh to Cairo and Doha to Dubai -- while purporting to dictate to the rest of the world which regimes are off limits, is just one of many reasons that very few people outside the US buy this rhetoric. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

One of the most difficult things for a journalist to do is tell their own audience things they know will make them angry or that conflicts with their audience's agenda. I genuinely can't remember the last time an NBC or CNN personality did that, certainly nowhere near this level — PolitiTweet.org

If you don't want to watch the video beause you'd rather just keep asserting that Tucker spread the "Big Lie" while privately acknowledging it was false, at least try this screen shot. It's from the official Fox site on Nov 19, when the fraud claims were reaching their peak: https://t.co/isu8wTgS89 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The rest of the media constantly implies if not outright states that Tucker Carlson endorsed or implicitly supported Trump's election fraud claims, when everyone who has ever watched Fox knows that's a lie. Watch this clip where he attacked Sidney Powell: https://t.co/duiHR8cA9L — PolitiTweet.org

@Humboldt1111 @OGNadales That's not how most of the world sees it: https://t.co/GxrWL5C3I6 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@tangentarine Ukraine sits on the Russian border. Brazil is almost 5,000 miles away from the US. But you are right that, under the Monroe Doctrine, distance is irrelevant: the US is the official ruler of all of Latin America. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@rich_goldberg Given how many lectures the US gives about how sacred sovereignty is -- one of the reasons it supposedly finds the Russia invasion of Ukraine so ghastly -- the belief that a US Senator and the Treasury Dept can rule Brazil seems likely to undermine the efficacy of those sermons. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@rich_goldberg If the US continues to declare all of Latin America its property under the Monroe Doctrine, and claims the right to dictate to countries thousands of miles away who they can and can't host, then don't be surprised when people see the US this way: https://t.co/GxrWL5C3I6 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@OGNadales The US props up the world's most despotic regimes, from Saudi Arabia and Egypt to UAE and Qatar. It always has. That's why virtually nobody outside of the US media and the most jingoistic Americans take its pro-democracy lectures seriously. https://t.co/GxrWL5C3I6 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@CentristCommon The CIA engineered a military coup in Brazil, overthrowing its democratically elected government and replacing it with a barbaric 21-year military dictatorship. The US is free to do that, but then don't act surprised at how much of the world sees the US. https://t.co/GxrWL5C3I6 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Rasselas68 Should they host Saudi ships instead? Did you know that other large countries have their own interests and agendas that diverge from the US, and don't immediately treat every US enemy as an enemy of their country? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@OGNadales Either obey my order about who you can and can't host or else we will punish your economy with sanctions. If you want to go around trying to rule the world that way, don't be surprised when the world laughs in your face when you claim you stand for democracy and sovereignty. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@WaskelweeWabbit Brazil is the 6th most populous country in the world, with one of the world's ten largest economies and most valuable oil reserves. The idea that the US now rules Brazil because it gave the country $58 million is hilarious. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@danjayween Then he should stop pretending he's defending principles when justifying why he voted to fund Biden's war policies in Ukraine. Also, telling politicians that you're happy if they lie to you and violate the values they claim to believe in seems unwise. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@G43886366 The US already did that. In 1964, after spending 3 years ordering Brazil to cease mildly progressive economic reforms like rent control, it engineered a coup to overthrow the democratically elected government, then propped up the savage military dictatorship for the next 21 years — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Who the fuck is Ted Cruz to order Brazil - a large sovereign country - to cease hosting Iranian ships on the ground that US sanctions outlaw this? If Ukraine has the right to host all of NATO right on the Russian border, then Brazil can host whichever ships it wants. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is why Brazil and so many countries laugh in Biden's face when he demands they support the US war in Ukraine, claiming the US is defending sovereignty. The US officially regards all of South America as its property, and sees itself as the Supreme Ruler of the whole region. https://t.co/1yBUGVV2Jq — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

We've been hearing for years that Ukraine has the right to host whatever foreign militaries or alliances it wants, and Russia has no say in it. Yet Ted Cruz thinks he can dictate to Brazil - a country thousands of miles away - which ships it can and cannot host on its soil. — PolitiTweet.org

@tonymalandro1 Foram cientistas que disseram no começo da pandemia que eles *sabiam que* a origem era zoonótica. Como resultado, a teoria do vazamento de laboratório foi proibida como "notícia falsa." Agora sabemos que eles não tinham provas. A história da ciência está cheia de erros. — PolitiTweet.org

@mcgd Scalia would have started and ended with Pelosi quotes. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@whosevelt LOL, possibly, but I love how when it comes to Nancy Pelosi, the "to be fair" defense for her comments is: she didn't really believe what she said; she was just lying. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@AGHamilton29 Yes, and in general, it's just maddening that every SupCt ruling is filtered soley through the prism of whether it produces good or bad results, rather than whether it was or wasn't legal/constitutional to do. Of course judges are politicized but legality does, you know, matter. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

If SupCt rules Biden lacked legal authority to cancel student debt, then liberals and journalists (excuse the redundancy) will accuse the Court majority of being lawless fascists who hate the poor, even though it was Nancy Pelosi who said Biden *inarguably* lacks that authority. https://t.co/RRGzXTgeiQ — PolitiTweet.org
