For the Record: Kamil Galeev works at the Woodrow Wilson Center, a DC based think tank. His Ukraine-War threads on twitter are informative, but to be taken with a grain of salt.
And I think in the case of "To put it simply, [Russia]'s going full fascist." with a couple of grains more.
- lamp987 5y agoThere should be a disclaimer about this in the thread title.
- antattack 5y agoI don't follow much politics but it always served me well to take anyone associated with Kissinger with a grain of salt.
- zozbot234 5y agoThe thread is very long, it covers a lot more than just "going full fascist".
- woodpanel 5y agoTrue, but it should be the giveaway (if not the open call for regime change in Moscow). After reading it again I have to say: The thread is remarkably shallow. Its length seems overwhelming but upon further inspection makes a lot of detours into individuals then circles back to the "grand scheme of things" and (thus) in each spot takes things out of context (e.g. Putin's "I only have Ivans and Marias in my family" quote - what the Author leaves out: what was said before and thereafter, and why it was said at all: In response to some alledgedly heoric act in this war by a young boy from an ethnic minority).
- SyzygistSix 5y agoWhat's the deal with the Woodrow Wilson Center? It seems to have good credentials, albeit connected to the US government. Are there other examples of it producing obvious propaganda?
- rakslice_ 5y agoidk, but it seems like it's not involved in this case as these are just independent Twitter threads from an account that isn't referenced by any of the Wilson Center's own verified accounts which are busy posting their own analysis...
