And again, whatever your views on the Ukraine, you should be extremely disturbed at the genuinely unprecedented censorship regime imposed to prevent Westerners from hearing these claims. It serves nobody (except Western elites) to have its populations banned from hearing dissent. https://t.co/CfbJDA1bR8 — PolitiTweet.org

Though the US has become largely bored of this war, it not only grinds on but continues to escalate. This is precisely what makes this war the US's most dangerous one in many years. It's stunning how little debate there is in liberal circles about the US role: barely mentioned. — PolitiTweet.org

One of Karaganov's key points is the one Obama made for years: the US and the West will sacrifice Ukrainian lives but not their own citizens, because Ukraine is not and never will be a vital interest to the US/Europe. But Ukraine is vital to Russia, which will do anything to win — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

As the article notes, "Karaganov warned for years about a potential conflict in Ukraine over NATO expansion." His primary claim is the US/NATO have been heavily active in Ukraine for years, and deliberately converted Russia back into an enemy of the West to serve elite interests. https://t.co/QY0evNl0Zc — PolitiTweet.org

The New York Times, to its credit, today published a short but illuminating interview by former Moscow Bureau Chief Serge Schmemann with Russian political scientist Sergey Karaganov, who supports the war and explains Russia's thinking. Well worth reading: https://t.co/CYNLjPbEbJ — PolitiTweet.org

@jimearl666 No, from the start, I said the riot was disturbing and bad because, as I said the day after, it's always bad when political violence is introduced into disputes. But the idea that this got anywhere near overthrowing the most militarized, powerful government in history was a joke. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@chesterBirdbath It's not exactly new that Democrats tell anyone in marginalized groups who don't support them that there's something psychologically wrong with them: self-hating, etc. Biden told Charlamagne that any reluctance to vote Dem meant he wasn't really black. This is a common view. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@jimearl666 So you're appreciative when I see the world in precisely the manner that you see it? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@sambcoltrane Totally. If you don't believe that 1,000 old Trump supporters from Facebook were a couple seconds away from overthrowing the world's most militarized, weaponized and powerful government in history, then you're a fascist. Any questioning of Dem/CNN narratives means you're Hitler. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@FisherBurton @chesterBirdbath @scottjblair @Jacobrhymen If you're gay, Dems think you're not allowed to care about any of that. They 100% believe: you're gay, so homosexual issues are the only thing that should guide your political choices, and if not, you're mentally ill. Same message they tell all people in marginalized groups. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@scottjblair @Jacobrhymen @chesterBirdbath I know this is shocking to people like you, but homosexuals care about issues beyond just the issue of homosexuality, such as war, imperialism, corporatism, free speech, civil liberties, globalism, free trade, and an endless number of other issues. We're actually complete humans. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@chesterBirdbath @TomCruise_69 @Navglad I don't agree that same-sex marriage is a top priority or even close for the American right. Even prior to Obergefell, polls showed significant movement toward supporting marriage equality among young conservatives. To the extent it becomes stronger, I'll oppose it. Not hard. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TomCruise_69 @Navglad @chesterBirdbath Yes, that's correct. Some of the NO votes from the GOP today are based on the view that same-sex marriage should not be legal: a view held just a decade ago by the entire Dem Party. I find that view wrong, toxic and immoral, and I oppose it. Is this unclear? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ceblackwell @aha272727 Tell me honestly: who taught you that when a journalist interviews a public figure, it means they agree with and "support" everything that person has done? Have you ever seen journalists interview bad people before, or only good ones? Where did liberals get this idea from? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@HeyImPostinHere I'm in favor of codifying Obergefell into law. I'd vote yes. I just believe that the Dems are doing this now to fear-monger over something not imminent or likely, and that at least some of the NO votes in the GOP are based on the view that states regulate marriage. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Navglad @chesterBirdbath Many of the NO votes were explicitly based on a belief that states traditionally regulate marriage, not the federal government, but either way, gay men are more than just our sexual orientation and the days of you telling marginalized groups we're owned by your party are over. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Jacobrhymen @chesterBirdbath Reducing gay men to our sexual orientation so you can tell us we're mentally ill for not supporting your shitty party is itself sick. It's also no longer working for any marginalized groups; nobody is willing to listen to partisans like you tell us that your Party owns us. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@HeyImPostinHere Thomas wrote separately, and alone, to say he thought it should be. Kavanaugh wrote separately to he disagreed. The majority stressed their decision applied solely to Roe, a decision which - when it was issued - was widely criticized even by leading liberal law scholars. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@mtracey As the guru who taught you all the highlighting and arrow skills you possess, I believe a bit more deference is in order. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@HeyImPostinHere Because the Democrats are desperate to find a way to motivate their voters to turn out for the midterms, and so are scaring them into believing Windsor and Obergefell will be overruled, and thus held votes to codify them, in which many GOPs voted NO: https://t.co/8IJuJEvxeG — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@MichaelClear Forcing married people to live as "roommates" is gross, but more to the point, the reason spouses of American citizens are given Green Cards is because that's the only way they can live together in their country, so if that's denied (as DOMA did), then that solution doesn't work. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@scottjblair I've watched. Why do you think I'm now so enamored of Liz Cheney? — PolitiTweet.org

@adammpark @RobertMCle @Arbitrary_user @adamdavidson That's absolute bullshit. Frum, despite crimes far worse than Alex Jones, is routinely "platformed" and interviewed by major media corporations, and the liberal-left rarely complain, because Frum has institutional approval and that's their guiding factor. But it's not mine. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@adammpark @Arbitrary_user @adamdavidson Yes, that's a bad thing he did, for which he's repeatedly apologized. It's still not in remotely the same moral universe as the massive evils of David Frum, who played a huge role in deceiving Americans to support one of the most criminal and destructive wars in its history. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@pazuzunfriends @canuckjc I haven't interviewed Alex Jones yet. But I think he has done far less damage to the world than literally dozens of neocons, Bush operatives and US Security States ghouls on the payroll of major liberal media outlets, all of whom I would also interview if I could. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@chesterBirdbath Yes, some Republicans oppose same-sex marriage. Others think marriage should be decided by states. And same-sex marriage continues to be legal in all 50 states thanks to Obergefell. Dems are trying to scare people into thinking it's about to be overruled to motivate their voters. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Navglad @pazuzunfriends @canuckjc You're just a Democrat who has spent your day defending AOC's antics as a way to feel cooler than your Democratic Party parents. You lost your identity when Bernie told you to march behind the Party. My journalism isn't for you, and it never was. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@pazuzunfriends @canuckjc The number of people whose brains are too stunted to see the world beyond the Dem v. GOP and conservative v. liberal prisms they were taught as little kids is rapidly shrinking. There are fewer and fewer of you, which is why the voices free of that cage are the ones thriving. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@pazuzunfriends @canuckjc If I were a right-winger, why would I not just say so? Do you think I care so much and fear so much the disapproval of left-liberals that I'm willing to deny my own beliefs in order to avoid their anger? Does a desire to avoid making liberals angry appear to be a goal of mine? — PolitiTweet.org
