@TimothyKillian I think it's an accurate description of the current moment and what its effects will be going forward on US/Western thinking and action: namely, a much greater willingness to be confrontational. I most definitely do not regard that as a positive development. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The premise of the below discussion is that this current moment in Ukraine reflects unified resolve by the US and the West that it has been far too restrained when responding to threats in the past, and that from this point forward, that caution will be much less. Seems accurate: — PolitiTweet.org

@AJDelgado13 @TuckerMax Apparently he's on many people's list of Those One May Not Mention or Cite no matter how good, well-documented or important the point is that he makes. If you want to cite Bill Kristol, Nicolle Wallace, Matthew Dowd, Liz Cheney or David Frum, that's all fine. Not Tucker Max! — PolitiTweet.org

Like the phrase "the international community" or "the civilized world," the phrase "the entire world" has always meant and still means, in western discourse: "Western countries and those who agree with the West's policies at the moment". It does no good to live in a dream world: https://t.co/hdPm6C9x74 — PolitiTweet.org

Part of is this clearly this -- the way the new era judges the duration of time -- but part of it is standard war propaganda: radically different narrative standards being applied based on whose interests are advanced or undermined: https://t.co/iQKHqSpfqE — PolitiTweet.org

The fall of Baghdad was considered to have happened in lightning speed. A massive US/UK-led army invaded Iraq on March 19. The Western media declared Baghdad "fallen" on April 9: a total of 3 weeks. https://t.co/Yq2ZfAbbFL — PolitiTweet.org

@DionRabouin I just think it’s important to purposely seek out divergent views. All sides in war use propaganda but good propaganda still has to have some touchstone to truth. Probably have to accept that no certainty is possible for a good while. — PolitiTweet.org

@BloodyCoup Saddam was actually evil. The 9/11 attack was actually a moral atrocity. Knowing that only took one so far. Many who recognized that still believed many falsehoods about what was happening and supported an array of immoral responses. — PolitiTweet.org

To understand how war propaganda functions and thus to know how it manipulates you, you probably have to have lived through it as an engaged adult. Millions of Americans (and Russians) never have. Last comparable moment in US was 2001-3: Good v. Evil, Freedom v. Mad Despots, etc. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

No matter your views, no propaganda is as potent and difficult to resist as war propaganda. The more complete the societal consensus, the less room for questioning, the harder it becomes. It becomes a closed system. It targets our deepest emotions and instincts. Good thread: 👇 — PolitiTweet.org

Both Kinzinger and one of the media's other favorites, @EricSwalwell, are also ratifying and spreading complete forgeries all over Twitter. Needless to say, there's no action by Twitter to label or ban it. Disinformation is noble when deployed for the right cause. https://t.co/mpx31jrt80 — PolitiTweet.org

@MainStreetMuse There's no law stopping you from going to Ukraine and taking up arms to fight the Russian Army instead of sitting here on Twitter calling everyone else cowards or traitors who doesn't think the US military should fight a hot war with Russia. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

So much for the rhetorical cudgel that nobody in Washington is even considering let alone advocating the deployment of the US military to Ukraine. Here's one of the media's 3 or 4 most popular members of Congress advocating that in the most explicit and dangerous way possible: — PolitiTweet.org

@muckrakerearth @ElSordoDiesel There's no reason for to use a screenshot of this tweet as if it's been deleted or will be. It hasn't been and won't be. I stand by it as correct at the time I said it. I don't care how many people on Twitter unite to take it out of context and pretend it meant something else. — PolitiTweet.org

@chaos5221 @MuldoonMartin They were told for 5 years by the journalists and outlets they trust most that Trump was a puppet of the Kremlin and forced to do Putin's bidding through blackmail. They believe this. So any facts that conflict with that and can't be reconciled with it are just ignored. — PolitiTweet.org

@dianafaith81 Todos os países agem em seus próprios interesses. Isso não é incomum para o Brasil. Eu não estava elogiando nem criticando o voto de Bolsonaro na ONU, apenas relatando para que pessoas de fora do Brasil entendessem o que o Brasil fez. — PolitiTweet.org

@MuldoonMartin That you never heard of this should, but I'm certain won't, lead you to question your media diet and how you consume news. But since you don't believe it, you can listen for yourself in this video: https://t.co/e5IXvUPy2T — PolitiTweet.org

@ElSordoDiesel I opposed the attempts to block Nord Stream 2 as both misguided and futile and said so at the time. My pointing out that this was Trump's position is not praise. It's correcting the still-insane narrative that Putin had effectively taken over the US through control of Trump. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Trump, more or less alone, spent years trying to sabotage and block Nord Stream 2. He did everything he could to bully and coerce Germany and other EU countries to reject it. One of Biden's first acts was to lift sanctions on Nord Stream 2, allowing its completion. https://t.co/FTogatQnUk — PolitiTweet.org

Prior to the invasion, Bolsonaro had more or less embraced Russia, flying to meet Putin and express solidarity. He showed irritation with his Vice President for condemning Russia before he was ready. But the remarks of Bolsonaro's UN representative emphatically denounced Russia. https://t.co/e3o0ji7Qrt — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Brazil, under Bolsonaro, was one of 11 UN Security Council nations voting in favor of the resolution to condemn Russia, even as China, India and UAE abstained. His UN Ambassador delivered strong denunciations of Russia in line with the Western consensus: https://t.co/lHMei6Yw2j — PolitiTweet.org
