Yeah, what actually happened is that Maddow's show and MSNBC blasted out this revolting statement to the public because they agree with it. They absolutely believe Putin is worse than Hitler. They only deleted it due to the massive backlash, including from @AuschwitzMuseum. — PolitiTweet.org

Buy more oil from them and send them more weapons in order to defend freedom and democracy. — PolitiTweet.org

Watch this segment from @AymanM, who works within very significant constraints at NBC/MSNBC yet tries hard to inject truth where he can, on how US propaganda about various wars -- ours and theirs -- warps public perceptions on purpose: https://t.co/4ydqMLCkMu — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This matters so much -- even now -- because this framework completely warps our understanding of the world, the US role in it, and the conduct of designated adversaries/enemies. No matter how unjustified Russia's invasion is, clarity is still vital: https://t.co/i41XxP70Fj — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This @McFaul tweet shows an insidious prong of US propaganda. No matter what the US does - even sending a massive military to the other side of the world to attack a smaller country with "Shock and Awe" - it's just a "mistake": a well-intentioned whoopsie. Never immoral/criminal. https://t.co/Ks0hbvWRUY — PolitiTweet.org

@Choostas Which are the media outlets that don't regularly make mistakes and typos on dates, names and places and therefore should be regarded as credible? You can call Rumble a "fringe platform" if you want -- after all, it's not CNN or the NYT (!) -- but huge numbers are watching there. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@tomgooner84 All wars are hideous and involve moral atrocities on a mass scale. The difference is that sometimes you're shown the horrors and victims, and sometimes they're hidden from you, deliberately creating the false impression that only your government's enemies do it. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

For those asking, here's the link on Rumble to the 2016 Stone film on Ukraine, removed by Google from the long-standing YT page of its producers. It has a point of view, so judge it with a critical eye (like everything), but it's *very* worth watching: https://t.co/ZBSoK05zyG — PolitiTweet.org

RT @davereaboi: McFaul’s career is the best argument that US Russia policy has been run by extremist maniacs. — PolitiTweet.org

@Wowbagger74 @axios I wouldn't assume that. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Here's an article from last week on Zelensky's public and often harsh criticisms of what he regards as Israel's refusal to help Ukrainians enough. Israel has been explicit that they want to side with the US, but also not alienate Russia (due to Syria): https://t.co/TY6xWaJ459 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

For whatever it's worth, the Israelis are emailing this statement to journalists, denying the @Axios story that PM Bennett told Zelensky to take Russia's deal to end the war. Ukrainian officials have been publicly complaining of Israel's posture, but since I cited this story, FYI https://t.co/x3OJMtQz1f — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@dmoulding @SusanSarandon The one who is lying is you. I didn't say Google managed yet to delete every copy from YouTube. I said they removed the film from the long-standing account of the film's producers. Here's the film's director explaining it, with the notice YouTube sent: https://t.co/K5pQ44YSXs — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I'll end the thread (for now) with a reminder of what former President Barack Obama said in 2016 -- after the Russian invasion of Georgia, after Crimea, after Russian support for Eastern Ukrainian separatists -- about his view of Ukraine, Russia and the US (echoed by Trump): https://t.co/ZOa8EO4US3 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The key point: apprehending the war's moral dimensions doesn't take you far. Getting red in the face, saying how much you hate Putin, how evil the invasion is, leaves unanswered the key questions: the US role, efficacy of sanctions, risks of escalation, and how to stop this war. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Many have been convinced it's a new RT invention to say NATO expansion is gravely threatening to Moscow, even though Russians -- and US officials and scholars -- have been saying this for 2 decades. From the 2015 film: *vital to explore a way to end this war through diplomacy*: https://t.co/be2VwJy672 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The more important an issue is -- and nothing is more important than a war involving the world's two largest nuclear powers -- the more crucial it is to hear challenges to the consensus. Beyond Stone's doc, this 2016 article by Lev Golinkin is essential: https://t.co/HiUPuSuulX — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

If you live in the West and have strong views on war in Ukraine - fine: maybe you're 100% right - but it's vital to recognize you live in a closed propaganda system. Google & FB monopolies have imposed an unprecedented censorship regime. The 2 parties & US media are in lockstep: https://t.co/D4npKSh2Z5 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

McFaul didn't just say *Hitler was better than Putin* because at least Hitler didn't murder ethnic Germans. He didn't just proclaim there's no such thing as an innocent Russian now. He cheered the coup in Bolivia (then deleted that, too), as well as this 2021 gem to a critic: https://t.co/2gpnvzkIvx — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

It's no coincidence that neocons are who liberals now must adore and follow. Nuland's worldview is theirs. They especially revere @DavidFrum, because the defining coercive binary he wrote for George W. Bush is now their North Star, with "terrorists" replaced by "Russians." https://t.co/JdTrowEbjW — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

One can't count the number of times @McFaul - with his mask dropped without a State Dept. script, on cable and social media - had to retract his mad utterances. Last week, he declared "there are no more innocent neutral Russians anymore": from @DavidFrum's War on Terror script: https://t.co/o9odGDQhrQ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Sumrandomgie @MikeShor Liberals believe that any questioning of the CIA, the Pentagon or NATO is proof that you're a Kremlin asset. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

After a huge backlash, @McFaul retracted these comments last night, blaming fatigue, but he's still saying he wants to see "scholarly readings" to confirm that Hitler really did murder ethnic Germans. These are the mad bloodthirsty manics shaping your media diet on Russia: https://t.co/qp1pfVCJwO — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Many now think it's a new RT invention that Russians (and their Ukrainian allies) see NATO expansion as gravely threatening. They - with US officials and scholars - were saying this for 2 decades. From the 2015 film: *gives insight into how to negotiate an end to this war*: https://t.co/izm4iUOEg3 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Beyond Nuland - Cheney's adviser fo Iraq and War on Terror 🇺🇸- the most influential media voice on Ukraine is Obama's former Amb. @McFaul. Last night, he said Putin is *worse than Hitler* because Hitler didn't murder Germans. Maddow's show helpfully erased it from the internet: https://t.co/tViVbMOBTx — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MikeShor Did a top US official assert any of those things while testifying upon criminal punishment for lying to the Senate, as Victoria Nuland did when she told Sen. Rubio that Ukraine has "biological research facilities" so dangerous that they fear it will "fall into Russian hands?" — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MikeShor You mean last night, as in this? https://t.co/ytiRoTDVhq — PolitiTweet.org
