I agree, which was my point in the bolded. Nixon was responsible for like a million deaths in SE Asia.
I hope you’re not accusing Glenn Greenwald of basing arguments on petty technicalities.
For the sake of historical completeness, although Obama did not bomb Assad’s forces, the US were covertly providing military assistance to their opponents via Timber Sycamore, which presumably counts as “getting involved” against Assad.

There seems to be a challange on the play, let’s go upstairs for the ruling:

Flagrant hypocrisy, 10 yard penalty and loss of down.

I mean I think it is pretty clear that Greenwald was in fact doing a parody of liberals during the Trump era, but Trump described the media as “the enemy of the people” and constantly falsely accused them of lying about matters of substance. Whereas Biden called someone stupid for asking a question that was, in fact, substance-free and stupid. Why am I even typing this?

Of course, although Greenwald is typically ham fisted about it, as you point out. He’s not a satirist no matter how hard he tries. I mean he didn’t even tag Jim Acosta, you have to do it!

I can’t believe there are people who take him seriously lol
Struggling to think of someone I’ve changed my opinion on more radically in the last 15 odd years than Glenn. Maybe Obama. Don’t have him as low as Glenn now but he was coming off a higher base.

Comrade Glenn never disappoints.

Pure evil at this point.
Friendly reminder that before he became a raging hypocrite and fascism apologist, he was just a normal guy who hated immigrants and supported the war in Iraq.
The idea that his appearances on Tucker for the last 2 decades are due to anything other than principled agreement is misguided.

To contrast with someone like Iggy who was a 20 year old college student when he supported the Iraq War, Glem was 38 at the time of these blog posts.
It amazes me how much of a coward Glenn is. He thinks getting in good with them will spare him from the inevitable fascist take over. But the fuckers he hangs around with would execute him once they’re done with the Jews and Muslims.
