@bradleyrsimpson There's no question the GOP is still dominated by its traditional pro-war, pro-imperialism, pro-Security-State establishment, just like the Dem Party. The difference is that its right wing has a much more vibrant dissent than the left-wing of the Dem Party, which stays in line. — PolitiTweet.org

@GuiMach87719090 Concordo. — PolitiTweet.org

Brazil's President Lula, meeting today with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, said Russia "crassly erred", but again assigned blamed to both sides (Ukraine/NATO). Brazil will not send arms to Ukraine or have any war involvement, as it's a "nation of peace." https://t.co/fj64JWPjEB — PolitiTweet.org

Today, @gofundme is desperately trying to assure the public that it guarantees that its fund-raising campaigns cannot be used for fraud. That's odd, since it's well-documented Rick Wilson collected large amounts there for an anti-Trump film he never made: https://t.co/dVlAd7stfO — PolitiTweet.org

"Viral ads created by anti-Trump group The Lincoln Project were ineffective in persuading voters in battleground states, according to an analysis by the Dem Party’s leading Super PAC." But it helped Rick Wilson's tax debts and Steve Schmidt's homes: https://t.co/Ynl4pdYHHj — PolitiTweet.org

@Viniciu55793704 @TheInterceptBr Entendo as razões estratégicas de Lula ter escolhido Alckmin. O que não entendo é a recusa da esquerda em criticá-lo. Se eu passasse 20 anos chamando alguém de **fascista, racista e culpado de genocídio** - como a esquerda fez com Alckmin - eu seria mais vocal contra ele. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@A_FleckBrandao @digoroscoe @TheInterceptBr I think Lula is weaker and more boxed in now than certainly in his second term. I agree 100% Lula, standing alone, is more to the left than Hillary/Biden/Obama types but it'll be very hard to get much done. Then again, nobody is politically shrewder, so we'll see. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@bradleyrsimpson There is nothing isolated or temporary about the Dem/neocon alliance. Neocons already planned to migrate back to Dems in 2014 because they saw anti-war sentiment and knew Hillary would be best for them. Neocons are the thought leaders of the Dem Party. https://t.co/XYblRDo3C1 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@stopwar1984 I agree the dominant wing of the GOP is still pro-war: traditional GOP establishment. But there's far more anti-war sentiment from the DC right than the left. If you listen to Tucker regularly, you'll see how wrong you are. He condemned Trump on Soleimani and Cuban interference. https://t.co/82v46v8DPa — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@A_FleckBrandao @digoroscoe @TheInterceptBr Right, exactly. It was a very similar pattern in the US: Dems and liberals cheered, strengthened and fortified every horrible institution in the name of short-term benefits against Trump. Now, the neocons, media corps and US Security State agents they rehabilitated still reign. — PolitiTweet.org

Just think about the mentality that led the NYT to radically change its accurate headline about Ukraine and Zelensky into this propagandistic campaign for Biden's war policy: — PolitiTweet.org

RT @mtaibbi: The NYT used the phrase “people (or person) familiar with” over a thousand times in stories involving Trump and Russia between… — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@stopwar1984 Biden, Hillary and John Kerry were Iraq War supporters. Half of the Dem Senate caucus voted for it. Trump fired Bolton but his worst mistake was Pompeo. Tucker was a neocon but is now the one of the few places hostile to imperialism and US Security State: https://t.co/GCil76KuL2 — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@htmlmencken @FreedomBro1 Right, Markos was always completely hawkish on foreign policy. He only was opposed to Iraq because it was a GOP war at first. Atrios now pretty much abstains entirely from foreign policy: try to find his views on Ukraine. 🤷‍♂️ — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@A_FleckBrandao @digoroscoe @TheInterceptBr Eu concordo com tudo isso. Acho que o que levou a Bolsonaro foi o impeachment de Dilma, que não só foi apoiado como liderado quase inteiramente pela grande mídia. Por isso fiquei espantado ao ver os petistas aplaudindo a Globo: eles estavam fortalecendo o monstro. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@A_FleckBrandao @digoroscoe @TheInterceptBr Era previsível quando Lula escolheu Alckmin que a mídia liderada pela Globo - cujo sonho de vida é um PSDB, um governo neoliberal - fortaleceria os elementos do PSDB em torno de Lula e enfraqueceria os petistas. Ainda odeiam Bolsonaro, mas a ideologia da grande mídia é o PSDB. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

Democrats rehabilitated every neocon: the only requirement was they spoke against Trump, which neocons were happy to do because Trump started denouncing core neocon precepts. The main political alliance since 2017 is Dems/neocons/CIA/FBI/media: https://t.co/iKjKyJc0Xy — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@A_FleckBrandao @digoroscoe @TheInterceptBr Isso é besteira total. A Globo era totalmente anti-Bolsonaro. Por isso era comum ver esquerdistas torcendo por Bonner, Vera (😍), Guga e todas as estrelas da Globo. A grande mídia corporativa brasileira idolatra Moraes tanto quanto idolatrava Moro. Só a Folha critica às vezes. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@bdquinn I debate people who disagree with me constantly. I accept every invitation to go on left-wing or right-wing shows to talk to those who have different views. We invite people on my show all the time for that. A minimum requirement is someone willing to use their real name. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@TTownsent He's a perfect example of what I just wrote, too. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@gregorbas1 @The_Bellows_ @SWagenknecht Thanks for sending this. Will definitely read it and promote it after our interview. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I wrote some more about Sahra Wagenknecht, the political dynamics in Western democracies shaping her trajectory, and why I think our interview tonight with her is worth watching: https://t.co/2f9IFnW0TH — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

A lot of men who feel physically and morally weak compensate for these feelings by becoming vocal cheerleaders for war, but always send other people's kids to die in them, while they strut around feeling strong. Adam Smith warned us about the David Frums of the world in 1776: https://t.co/D6KPfgjQLP — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@ScottStenholm Your above-it-all coolness is so impressive. When you find my having done anything in the same universe of evil as Frum's writing lie-filled speeches for George W. Bush to convince Americans to invade both Iraq and Iran, and the domestic abuses of the War on Terror, let me know. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

David Frum only sends other people's families to fight for the wars he demands. He's cheered every single American war since the 1990s and never once put himself or his kids or family anywhere near the war zones he cheers on. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@bdquinn You're the one getting aroused at the idea of German tanks rolling through Eastern Europe and being used to fight the Russians. If you're demanding the re-militarization of Germany and the arming of Ukrainian neo-Nazis, maybe you should use the Nazi insinuations for yourself. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

I would much rather find a way to build alliances with ordinary workers and citizens who have been led to vote for right-wing parties than with American neocons like Frum and Kristol - who, through chronic lies, have more blood on their hands and teeth than anyone on this planet. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

David Frum cheers German tanks rolling across Europe because he says Germany has radically changed. Then he implies anyone is a Nazi for believing German citizens can unite. Frum's only consistent value is wanting to watch from a safe distance as humans are slaughtered by bombs — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@coxa8 @TheInterceptBr Quem não apoia golpistas é fascista -- a esquerda brasileira. A esquerda passou 20 anos acusando Alckmin de fascista, racista, servidor da oligarquia e culpado de genocídio, além de golpista. Estranho esquecer tais acusações. — PolitiTweet.org

Glenn Greenwald @ggreenwald

@digoroscoe @TheInterceptBr Sim, por alguma estranha razão, a esquerda - depois de passar quase dez anos elogiando e aplaudindo meu jornalismo sobre o Brasil - de repente decidiu que não sei nada sobre o Brasil. rsrs. Se você acusa alguém de tentar impor um *golpe*, isso deve significar alguma coisa. — PolitiTweet.org
