Parsing Geopolitics without moral hyperbole

Fighting all propaganda: left/right, US/Western, Chinese/Russian.

Anti-imperial, anti-censorship, pro free-speech

What were #Russian concerns & motivations to invade #Ukraine️ last year? A mix of #imperial overtones, escalating bilateral disputes, some humanitarian concern & increasing threat felt from #NATO invasions, color revolutions & expansion, read in detail:

@ryangrim It’s definitely blue. Light or dark is more debatable I guess as every now and then sagar will take a stance on something contradicting left-wing orthodoxy. But beyond that, BP definitely isn’t “bipartisan”- it’s got a left populist stance

[RealClearGeopolitics @sidadidas]

@ryangrim That is a big story by itself- the shadow banking, illicit trades, and basically an insight into how the world works at the top. Also happens that a lot of these people at the top are pedophiles, rapists.

@ZaidJilani Would have been fine, but how the hell do you put Bush as better. He instituted DHS, Patriot Act, large-scale surveillance & ravaged multiple countries, but somehow that fits under norms more?

[RealClearGeopolitics @sidadidas]

@TheFP Anyone has non paywalled version of this?

[RealClearGeopolitics @sidadidas]

@mkanapaka @mayukh_panja Rich Marwaris behave like this much more than much poorer people from other regions.

[RealClearGeopolitics @sidadidas]

@esaagar Would strongly urge highlighting @IndiGo6E debacle. It's the most big-corporate monopoly failure bringing country to standstill, millions of passengers stranded with no recourse while CEO lies through his teeth. As one of stuck passengers, would be happy to speak on it

[RealClearGeopolitics @sidadidas]

Use your Indian contacts to get to depth of story. I will be happy to come as a guest and tell the horrible experience with no comms, shady practices,no compensation. @krystalball will like story of Dutch CEO taking over from KLM to squeeze profits making customer service worse

[RealClearGeopolitics @sidadidas]

@esaagar Check out debacle of Indigo Airlines and cover it in BP. It's a classic story of corporate greed, labor unions, too-big-to-fail, govt intervention, private equity, complete disregard for passengers. I (NRI, US resident) was one of passengers stuck at #CST for 10 hrs

[RealClearGeopolitics @sidadidas]

@JenniferKorey @RoKhanna @mtgreenee Why are you railing against including MTG voters in Ro's orbit?

[RealClearGeopolitics @sidadidas]

@AnnaRMatson @shelley_curious Also "president of peace" => bombing Iran, and now random boats in Venezuela

[RealClearGeopolitics @sidadidas]

@briebriejoy Would love for Rising to come back to it's senses and have you back. Niall has been good at times, but Lindsey is insufferable- pure establishment shill. Your and Robby's chemistry was amazing. Still like Robby, his concern for billionaires wealth not withstanding

[RealClearGeopolitics @sidadidas]

@pmitchel @ggreenwald He has talked multiple times on his show about Trump's relationship with Epstein, and not in a favorable light. Glenn is just not part of a cult when he only must be selectively outraged at the "bad side" and ignore everything else.

[RealClearGeopolitics @sidadidas]

@auren Tech workers maybe. "Business people in tech" need to go few notches up in that pyramid. Definitely above manufacturing or academia.

[RealClearGeopolitics @sidadidas]

@ggreenwald I align with your foreign policy. However in this case, do you think Russia should pay for reconstruction in Ukraine? (I agree with NATO provocation, expansion, 2014 coup, but regardless should Russia pay like Israel should)

[RealClearGeopolitics @sidadidas]

@evanwch @RepMTG Good to see you hold the line on economic-populist issues, unlike a lot of the shapeshifter audience who pretend to care on issues on tribalist fashion. Big pharma is scum, they should be targreted. ACA has flaws, pre-existing conditions coverage is not one of them

[RealClearGeopolitics @sidadidas]

@ZaidJilani + His pitch in this video for his sales is I will fight Russia and China harder.

[RealClearGeopolitics @sidadidas]

@Holden_Culotta @tinleyharrier @LibertarianMama All for Massie, but not for loony MTG

[RealClearGeopolitics @sidadidas]

@LFlings68288 @kenklippenstein Glenn had Ken on his show, and is making jokes here.

[RealClearGeopolitics @sidadidas]

@emilyjashinsky I hate Trump admin's cynical exploitation & chilling of speech. However applaud you being able to call out the standards set by Dems: "politicizing" shootings against "right wing extremism", public-private partnership on censorship. Would love if you can speak like that in BP too

[RealClearGeopolitics @sidadidas]

@ggreenwald @SystemUpdate_ @TaylorLorenz You literally called Taylor an enemy one point of time. Can't give her a free pass because she's pretending to have some principles now
