Look at how often now we are told that crises are so severe and dangerous that we simply must accept centralized censorship for our own good: Russiagate, 1/6, COVID, now this. Just an endless training course in acquiescing to having information curtailed: https://t.co/qDLYbxHXDN — PolitiTweet.org

Banning books, films, athletes, musicians, students and everything else simply because they're Russian achieves absolutely nothing positive for anyone - just a little social media clout - but creates a toxic climate designed to foster the darkest and ugliest instincts in humans. — PolitiTweet.org

@chrisjudetaylor "literally no one" https://t.co/ZjArKCRgXj Also, you have no idea what the argument in the video is because you denounced it without watching it, because your only real impulse is desperation for social media attention. — PolitiTweet.org

@honestlib Given how courageous you are, why haven't you answered the calls of Ukrainian leaders to go there and pick up free weapons and fight alongside them against the Russian Army? They're saying if you have courage and conviction, you'd do that, not sit online. https://t.co/0o7Ksx4bXN — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The calls for direct military confrontation with Russia grow each day: not from fringe or marginalized voices but mainstream and institutionalized ones. Each time it happens, that policy, by design, gets more normalized, with highly emotional people seeing it as a viable option. https://t.co/OCm1fAlCJp — PolitiTweet.org

@Brigetta2 How much do the neo-Nazi brigades in Eastern Ukraine pay you? I'm not fooled by your panoply of emojis. Lurking behind all of them is the swastika. — PolitiTweet.org

@Dukenski Without in any way minimizing the risk and huge impact of the flag in your Twitter bio, I'd like to ask you why you haven't answered the call of the Ukrainian government for people to travel there, pick up free arms, and fight the Russian Army with them? https://t.co/0o7Ksx4bXN — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Though still a minority, there is clearly a mainstreaming of this "no-fly zone" idea. That will intensify as more bombing occurs. What Romney says here makes no sense -- anyone enforcing a NFZ will by definition be "in direct conflict with Russians" -- but it shows the conflicts: — PolitiTweet.org

@JonathanYocom @IChotiner Except here's what the current CIA Director said about how all Russians, not just Putin, perceive NATO expansion. https://t.co/REHbnpXZRs — PolitiTweet.org

Kudos to @IChotiner for interviewing one of the few US expert-dissidents on Russia/Ukraine, Professor John Mearsheimer, who echoes most of what Chomsky says but from a right-wing realist perspective. Highly recommended to read no matter your views: https://t.co/3xxN4V4uQp — PolitiTweet.org

The US Ambassador to the Soviet Union under Reagan and Bush 41, Jack F. Matlock, Jr., wrote this 2 two weeks ago about the Ukarine/Russia crisis. His whole article is worth reading. https://t.co/P0PWhvrFKM https://t.co/Y6qMcF1576 — PolitiTweet.org

Our moral condemnation of other countries such as Russia would be stronger, not weaker, if we paired it with a recognition of what we ourselves do, rather than deceitfully posturing as people who would never tolerate such violence and aggression from our own leaders. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Obviously, no American wants anyone raising the question of whether there's anything Russia is doing in Ukraine that the US hasn't done repeatedly, not just in Iraq about around the world. This is how these moments are used to absolve past crimes and blind us to our own acts. https://t.co/mpr9lMkjme — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Also worth watching, at this important moment, this video from @JeremyScahill where he explains how the "whataboutism" cliché suppresses, by design, a vital examination of our own country's behavior to claim we support standards we refuse to abide by. https://t.co/DnYtgEEJ8R https://t.co/KNkxUZQpJX — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Read @robertwrighter today on why it's so immoral to use the cliché "whataboutism" to prevent an examination of your own country's past crimes in order to bar any inquiry into whether the principles they're claiming to support are genuine. https://t.co/2FDdn2L3pm — PolitiTweet.org

All things considered, an amazing tweet from a Democratic foreign policy official. https://t.co/hoet6tcqWm — PolitiTweet.org
