To be more precise you could say Trump and Putin’s usuelf idiot. Which is perfect like the rest of the tankie left ala Caleb Maupin and Yankee Tankie-he’s pro fascism both at home and abroad.
The alt-left is real, and it’s helping fascists (newarab.com)
Just recently, Max did another episode of the Grayzone where he bemoaned yet another mass shooting in Texas. He mocked the US for wanting to ‘export democracy’ seeing as what a mess our own is. Point taken. Nevertheless it’s rather ironic for him of all people saying this seeing as how hard he’s worked to thwart democracy in his own country.

Let’s take gun control. Ne noted that “it’s uncool to be a liberal”… Ok who has made it uncool to be a liberal? He and his Bernie Bro cum Bernie or Bust cum Yankee Tankie friends. If you realy consider ending US mass shootings a burning issue you wouldn’t do what Blumenthal and his fellow Bros do-attempt to slander and deligitimize every positive progressive movement for change in the electoral system. His position on our electoral politics seems to be that everyone other than maybe Bernie is a compromised corporate neolliberal shill-obviously if this is true why even bother to fight gun violence or any other cause for progressive change in America?
So it’s pretty rich for him to call out our gun problem when he’s basically foreclosed any electoral strategy to end it. Indeed it’s even worse than this as he’s defended Alex Jones and critiized the huge jury awarded to the families of the Sandy Hook victims-Jones for years Jones slandered the slain children of Sandy Hook by asserting it never happened-the kids were crisis actors in a government plot.
How do you defend Alex Jones and yet claim to be morally indignant about gun violence?

Regarding “Who will win the information war”
Vasily Alekseyevich Nebenzya the Russian UN Ambassador dismissed a reporter in 20 Days of Mariupol documentary withthose words: ‘A lot of things who wins the information war?’ I read that as a blatant strut, straight up flexing. It’s as if this is the ideology of all high Russian officials today-we will win the information war.
The meaning it seems to me is: it doesn’t matter what you saw or what you say, we will once again win the information war as we’ve done so many times since that 2015 Moscow Putin dinner and when we’re done nobody will believe you-just like with Russiagate, with Douma, with Hunter Biden, etc. And it’s hard to blame him for being smug based on recent history. Sometimes it seems the structural asymmetry between an open society like ours and Putin’s version of Stalin 2.0 make it pratically inevitable that they will win-in Russia the truth is whatever Putin says it is, but in America nobody knows what to believe.
to what have become indelible images of the war. WOMAN: AP reporters on the ground
showed the world a mass grave in Mariupol. I’m talking about narrow trenches in Mariupol
with babies’ bodies in them. AP… AP journalists have been there. I’ve seen so many fakes.
Who wins the-the information war, the one who wins the war. -Do you really, truly believe this? -(reporters clamoring)
