@gladstein Every US President since Bush 43 who met with and dealt with Putin said the same thing: he's smart, rational, cunning and can be negotiated with based on self-interest. Are you arguing that they were all wrong, or that Putin recently changed and became a cartoon-like madman? — PolitiTweet.org

@DDFStrand Can I ask earnestly: what was your point in proclaiming ordinary Russian citizens guilty if not to justify various treatments of them that would be unjust if they were innocent? Or was it just an abstract exercise in sterile moral philosophizing with no real world consequences? — PolitiTweet.org

@Marcus408 Yes, if I were a small country, I'd want a dozen major countries to promise to use their military to defend me if I get attacked. That desire makes sense. Just like how the US only attacks countries with no nukes, sending the message to the world that they should get them. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@vkravetz1 Ukraine has the right to decide to seek NATO membership but NATO states have the right to decide whether to send their citizens to fight wars to defend Ukraine. When Cuba asked Russia to put nukes on Cuban soil in 1962 to deter US invasion, US didn't see that as their right. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TrevorGriffey I think efforts to try to end this horrific war seem more important than fights about who is correct in their moral proclamations about it. The former require understanding the actual causes and grievances and fears and how to resolve them if possible. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This is the fact nobody will confront. That Russia (not Putin, but the Russian political class, including Putin's critics) legitimately perceived NATO expansion as threatening wasn't invented by RT & Grayzone last week, but was the widespread view of top US officials for decades: — PolitiTweet.org

@LoewyLawFirm I wasn't commenting on the bombings' motives or justness, only noting that they need good relations with Moscow to be able to carry out these bombing raids in Syria and that's the reason they've tread so carefully. — PolitiTweet.org

@ATL_Lefty Does Twitter have some physical waves that emante from it that cause people's brains to break and cease functioning? What could you possibly see in that descriptive tweet that suggests a change to my 15-year record of being an Israel critic, let alone praise? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Israel, from the start of the Russian invasion, has stepped very carefully. They were reluctant to criticize Russia. They did vote for the UN Resolution condemning it, but argued that Russia's key role in Syria, where Israel bombs and operates, means they need good relations. — PolitiTweet.org

Last week, @JohnAvlon went on CNN and said that Americans have the absolute moral duty to accept significant economic sacrifices and higher prices to defend Ukraine. You can read about his sprawling Manhattan duplex, once owned by the Astors, in the NYT. https://t.co/5jtlzHOsFF — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I think this sermon to Americans about the great value and need to "endure" higher prices for food and gas, valid or not, should stop being delivered by rich celebrities and television pundits who won't even notice anything different. It's easy to demand *others* "sacrifice." — PolitiTweet.org

@goolandthekang @ianbremmer There's nothing hindsight about it. Many people in the weeks and months prior to this war were urging that the US and NATO give an assurance to Russia that Ukraine wouldn't be given membership. They were smeared as Kremlin agents. Tulsi Gabbard was probably the leading example. — PolitiTweet.org
