@navyyardproject You believe once Putin is done conquering Ukraine, he's headed to invade and seize all of Eastern Europe, on his way to his ultimate plan of incorporating Germany, France and the UK into his Russian empire, then onto the US, while building concentration camps for various groups? — PolitiTweet.org

Is it possible that not all wars are like World War 2, that not all American adversaries are like Hitler and the Nazis, and that there are other historical events from which a rational person might draw lessons? — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

The NYT's claim that "Biden tried to isolate" MbL but failed is false. From the start - way before Russia's invasion of Ukraine -- Biden refused to sanction MbL, then approved a massive arms deal to the Saudis, then announced his planned trip. Biden has always hugged tyrants. https://t.co/nyp67k2Kay — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

When Trump continued the US/Saudi "partnership" after Khashoggi's murder, it was cast as an unprecedentedly amoral President embracing useful tyrants over American values (see 👆). As Biden meets today with the Saudi despot, it's: he has no choice given geo-strategic realities. https://t.co/lEJwBVIZvQ — PolitiTweet.org

@MerlinLynn75 Why are you ignoring Zelensky's pleas for foreigners like you who support Ukraine and believe it's urgent to fight Russian genocide to go to Ukraine and pick up the arms they want to give you to help? They're pleading for you to go: https://t.co/y4dcSsRJCr — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Whether one agrees or not with this position, it is clearly well within the realm of reasoned discourse and analysis. Yet after every last Dem - from AOC to Bernie - voted for Biden's $40b war package, you have to go to the GOP caucus to hear this in Congress. Why?

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

This DSA statement is a reasonable view of the war in Ukraine and concerns about escalating US/NATO involvement. This view was long mainstream. Now, no Dem in Congress would utter this. In Congress, these concerns only come from 6 or 7 dozen populists on the right: — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@Jtl_Morriss Yes, but this taco reference in the speech isn't really evidence of that. Just a cringe attempt to be literary gone wrong. There are other more substantive arguments to use about Democrats' very reductive and patronizing approach to race and ethnicity. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Using these very poorly crafted references to suggest Jill Biden harbors bigotry and racism toward Latinos is of course absurd but it's the cynical framework that Democrats have created to malign all their critics, so they should have to also live under its rubric. Funny to see: — PolitiTweet.org

Here's the WPost's more precise description of the Ohio exception. The paper says it's "unclear" if this 10-year-old's case would have met it. https://t.co/Pq5gPstUoB https://t.co/7ZxB7m30LI — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

An ICE official told Fox the arrested suspect is a Guatemalan immigrant in the US illegally, likely shifting the focus of the story. Also, Ohio has a rape exception in its law so that part is still unclear. https://t.co/1rFm4aiINa — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

After two liberal fraudulent hoaxes went viral last week -- the Florida law "requiring students register political views" and the CBP/whipping story -- the WPost questioned whether the Ohio rape story was also false (see above). There's now an arrest. https://t.co/Pq5gPstUoB — PolitiTweet.org

@yenwoda @AliceFromQueens I wasn't the one who cast doubt on the story. It was the Washington Post. I explicitly said it could be proven true as evidence emerges. — PolitiTweet.org

@mikeylikzit Look at polling data on what Democrats now think of George W. Bush and Liz Cheney, to say nothing of people like Bush's post-9/11 FBI Director Robert Mueller. The reason neocons and Bush/Cheney operatives are popular is solely because of their liberal fanbase. — PolitiTweet.org

100% the only Frum fandom: the people who buy his books, cheer his CNN/MSNBC cable appearances, caused his social media stardom during the Trump years. These are the only people left who revere neocons: https://t.co/bF3wmoVlj0 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

But this is exactly the propaganda that neocon monsters have used to rehabilitate themselves into Dem Party thought leaders and heroes. By casting Trump as a singular evil, they persuaded millions of ignorant liberals that anything prior to Trump was noble, patriotic and ethical. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

That Bolton was "just kidding" about US coups, as Frum claims, will come as a huge surprise to hundreds of millions around the world whose democratically elected governments were violently toppled or otherwise destabilized by the US via the CIA. https://t.co/QQj4lnqedE — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

David Frum, whose hands are and always will be covered in the blood of the millions whose deaths he helped bring about, wants you to know John Bolton was just cynically joking when boasting of the coups the US orchestrates and plots. Note how every Frum fan in replies are Dems. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@curaffairs Not one single member of Congress shares this view. Every last Democrat in Congress along with the "independents" - from Bernie to AOC - voted for Biden's $40b war package. So I'm glad DSA has genuine foreign policy dissent - they do - but it's not found in the Dem caucus. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@curaffairs Yes, that was and is my view as well. That something is a "norm" is not a reason to preserve it. That's why I found the "norm" argument for Trump so lame. — PolitiTweet.org

@devoretext I'm glad you and people like you were never victimized by the CIA, Bill Kristol's wars, or the War on Terror Dirty Wars of Bush/Obama, but that's not a very good reason to dismiss and mock them as "dog whistles" given how many people actually were victimized by them. — PolitiTweet.org
