@neontaster The specific danger is when people start arguing that violations of the Geneva Conventions are trivial or irrelevant or even justified. Obviously, some war crimes are worse than others - just like regular crimes are - but *excusing or justifying* them is its own separate danger. — PolitiTweet.org

@sprgrss @Fat_Sats_ @neontaster You feel there's very little opposition and anger being expressed in the Western press toward Putin and Russia, and that my voice is therefore crucially needed so that people finally hear that Putin is bad? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@regalillest You're here to claim that that same amount of media attention and public sympathy was given to the victims of the wars in Iraq, Libya, Yemen and Afghanistan as is being showered on this current war? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Fat_Sats_ @neontaster I've explained this a million times over 15 years. Same question as "why don't you condemn Trump more?" or "why don't you spend more time denouncing Bad Country X?" I got into journalism and try to use my platform to highlight facts overlooked/ignored, not echoed by everyone else — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@neontaster Do you see anyone explicitly arguing that Russia's violations of the Conventions should be overlooked or dismissed as trivial or, worse, are justifiable? If you do, let me know and I'll definitely highlight those, too. Every war has Geneva violations: they shouldn't be excused. — PolitiTweet.org

It's amazing how many Americans have been taught that it's always inappropriate to inquire whether the standards they're purporting to uphold are ones which their own government follows -- a propaganda trick achieved with just one word: "whataboutism": https://t.co/5L6RQum613 — PolitiTweet.org

@danwroy They explicitly believe that the Geneva Conventions can be waived if the enemy is doing bad things, and that, as I said, the Conventions are just trivial, annoying legalisms that shouldn't interrupt the passion and excitement they feel over this war: https://t.co/lFb5RtXcB4 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@john4zoyrunning I've seen many, but are you claiming that the Ukrainian presidential adviser is fabricating allegations of Geneva Conventions violations against his own soldiers? That would be a really bizarre thing to believe: https://t.co/U8nYI0TFeM — PolitiTweet.org

A world in which all wars and their victims receive the same level of media coverage, concern and compassion as the current war is receiving would be a much-improved one. Unfortunately, the actual world is one where everything depends on who the perpetrators and the victims are: — PolitiTweet.org

@GeoJa55 @BrutalPlease I've only written one book since 2014, and since it was a book about Brazil, I never asked Fox to promote it and I think it may have been mentioned in passing twice, maximum 3 times, in all the times I've been on, so that is a very strange theory you have. — PolitiTweet.org

Far more "disinformation" and "Fake News" comes from large media corporations than any other source by far, but they have exploited the fact that these terms are inventions with no fixed meaning to declare themselves and their propaganda inherently excluded for some reason: — PolitiTweet.org
