1/ The Model —
High numbers of channels/messages and a shameless willingness to disseminate partial truths or outright fictions: New Russian propaganda entertains, confuses and overwhelms the audience. rand.org/pubs/perspecti…2/ Sputnik —
"Its mission wasn’t really to report the news as much as it was to push a narrative that would either sow doubts about situations that weren’t flattering to Russia or its allies, or hurt the reputation of the United States and its allies."
You see this? This is language that is bereft of accountability and ownership. It is not the language of leadership. It’s the hollow rhetoric of evangelism. Please, #NoMore bullshit, @AbiyAhmedAli
This is language that demands the harshest and most difficult sacrifices from citizens. But @AbiyAhmedAli gets to sacrifice nothing. He concedes nothing. Absolutely nothing. Peak megalomania.

They are from a 2017 opinion piece by a David Steinman in the "Capital Flows" opinion column of Forbes.
"Capital Flows" hasn't published new pieces since Jan 2018.
Remember Gérard Prunier's moment of brutal honesty on "The Debate" yesterday?
Here is a rather long 🧵 to try and unpack his statement, and hopefully clarify why we see a lot of mixed signals in what the US/EU/UN is (not) doing about #TigrayGenocide
That @AbiyAhmedAli could be a US plant should come as no surprise.
March 2019: US Amb Michael Raynor said, "We are embedding senior US government officials at key Ethiopian economic ministries and operations for a sustained period of time.”
This a thread about 10 suggestions that are used to defend a massacre. Yes, a lot of it is eerily similar to the language and logic used by the #EthiopiaPrevails sheep to deny #TigrayGenocide and #AxumMassacre

They will argue that the government has "clear objectives" and "surgical operations" that it has "achieved successfully," using bureaucratic language to disguise the brutality of their actions. #TigrayGenocide#AxumMassacre
