1/13 It's amazing to see Western influencers being revealed as paid russian disinformation agents, but this is merely the tip of the iceberg. Fun fact: they all support Trump and work against Democrats. Coincidence? I don't think so!
2/13 TENET media and its content creators are facing scrutiny after being exposed as disinformation agents funded by russia to promote pro-russian rhetoric.
3/13 Tim Pool, Dave Rubin, Benny Johnson, and Lauren Southern are the influencers associated with Tenet media. The organization received $10 million to disseminate Kremlin talking points in the United States.
4/13 The ironic part is that the shared factor among these individuals is that they are all paid by russia to criticize Democrats and support Trump. This serves as further evidence that russia is attempting to facilitate Trump's election.
5/13 Many more individuals, including some close to Trump, are likely on russia's payroll while supporting him. Trump himself could potentially be a russian asset or, at the very least, an opportunistic useful idiot.
6/13 This is merely the tip of the iceberg. There are numerous other instances in the West. Every country has its own russian disinformation agents, and I hope many of them are exposed in the coming months.
7/13 German author and journalist Hubert Seipel, based in Moscow, was caught less than a year ago for accepting €600,000 in exchange for his pro-russian rhetoric.
8/13 Scott Ritter, an American convicted pedophile and russian disinformation agent, has reportedly terminated his collaboration with russian media today due to sanctions. He is a clear example of a russian asset in the US.
9/13 There are numerous other cases that require investigation. Individuals like Douglas Macgregor, who consistently echo Kremlin talking points and oppose their own country regardless of the circumstances, are among those who need to be looked into.
10/13 Tucker Carlson is another individual that the US is likely investigating at the moment. Those associated with TENET Media were instructed to promote his videos showcasing shopping in russia.
11/13 Some of these individuals are useful idiots, while many deliberately turn a blind eye, and others are genuine disinformation agents. Ultimately, the distinction is not significant. Most of them are aware, but it can be challenging to prove that they are.
12/13 russia seeks to exploit Western freedom of speech to create divisions within our societies and erode trust in institutions. They have been remarkably successful in this endeavor, which is why it is crucial to investigate all cases like TENET Media.
1/15 France, Germany, the UK, Italy, and Spain do not fully grasp the existential danger posed by russia's invasion of Ukraine. Still, Ukraine's future relies on their backing as the US gradually steps back.
2/15 Europe has greatly exceeded the US in its support for Ukraine, and rightly so. While any assistance from the US is certainly welcome, Europe should take on the bulk of the responsibility, as Ukraine is located in Europe and has the capacity to provide substantial aid.
3/15 Regardless of the outcome of the US elections in November, the US will likely reduce its engagement with Ukraine and Europe to some extent, as it is stretched thin in Asia and the Middle East.
1/25 In a world where Realism has been compromised by the deceitful and treacherous views of scholars like John Mearsheimer, there is an urgent need for more Neo-idealism.
2/25 Realism today has been largely co-opted by figures like Mearsheimer. Although a respected scholar, Mearsheimer has made increasingly questionable statements that contradict his own theory to defend russia. He also aligns more with neorealism than classical realism.
3/25 Neorealism has surpassed classical realism in prominence. It suggests that countries—particularly great powers—operate as black boxes, each seeking to increase their strength relative to others in an anarchic world devoid of a higher authority to resolve conflicts.
1/12 DAJA: Destroy American Jobs Again! Trump's isolationist policies would not only lead to global destabilization and a decline in American power, but they would also negatively impact the US economy by destroying jobs.
2/12 Over the years, Trump has increasingly adopted isolationist views and has surrounded himself with others who share this perspective. However, these isolationist policies are not only diminishing US influence but are also detrimental to the economy.
3/12 Trump has even suggested the possibility of withdrawing from NATO if he is elected president. This would be a catastrophic move for the entire West and a significant advantage for adversaries like russia and china. It would also hurt the US defense industry.
1/9 What would a russian victory in Ukraine mean for the world? It would signify the end of the international order, initiate a new phase of imperialist expansion, and trigger a new nuclear arms race.
2/9 Yuval Noah Harari, the famous author of “Sapiens,” has shared his views in several interviews about russia's war in Ukraine, offering insights that I agree with. The most interesting points concern what a russian victory would mean.
3/9 One of his simple yet effective points is 'If russia wins, no state, and no border would feel secure. And the world would enter a new era of imperialist wars of conquest.'
1/15 Controversial View: The large prisoner swap with russia in August was considerably more beneficial for the West than for russia
2/15 The largest prisoner exchange between russia and the West since the Cold War occurred earlier in August, involving a total of 24 individuals. Eight people were sent to russia in exchange for 16 who were released to the West.
3/15 I recognize that this is a controversial perspective that many in the pro-Ukrainian community may disagree with, and that's perfectly okay. Nonetheless, I believe that the agreement was actually quite favorable for the West.
1/12 Blame America First: Trump has such a strong disdain for the US that he even holds his own country responsible for russia's illegal and unprovoked invasion of Ukraine. He consistently sides with the enemy over his own nation
2/12 As noted by @SpaghettiKozak, "Blame America First" seems to be the right slogan for Trump. He consistently criticizes and blames the US, undermines its reputation, and aligns himself with its enemies. He never speaks negatively about Putin or Xi.
3/12 It is noteworthy that a significant majority of Americans, including a majority of Republicans, are in favor of providing aid to Ukraine. Nevertheless, Trump, who is facing a tight election, opts to take a stance that contradicts the views of these voters. Why is that?
