How Tulsi Gabbard Became a Favorite of Russia’s State Media
The New York Times ^ | Nov. 18, 2024, 4:05 p.m. ET | Steven Lee Myers, Jim Rutenberg, Julian E. Barnes

Posted on 11/18/2024 1:35:36 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

In 2017, when she was still a Democratic member of Congress, Tulsi Gabbard traveled to Syria and met the country’s authoritarian president, Bashar al-Assad. She also accused the United States of supporting terrorists there.

The day after Vladimir V. Putin began a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Ms. Gabbard blamed the United States and NATO for provoking the war by ignoring Russia’s security concerns.

She has since suggested that the United States covertly worked with Ukraine on dangerous biological pathogens and was culpable for the bombing of the Nord Stream gas pipeline from Russia to Germany in September 2022. European prosecutors and U.S. officials say that sabotage was carried out by Ukrainian operatives.

Ms. Gabbard’s comments have earned her sharp rebukes from officials across the political spectrum in Washington, who have accused her of parroting the anti-American propaganda of the country’s adversaries. Her remarks have also made her a darling of the Kremlin’s vast state media apparatus — and, more recently, of President-elect Donald J. Trump, who this week nominated her to oversee the nation’s 18 intelligence agencies and departments.

Her nomination as the director of national intelligence has raised alarms among national security officials, not only because of her lack of experience in intelligence but also because she has embraced a worldview that mirrors disinformation straight out of the Kremlin’s playbook.

No evidence has emerged that she has ever collaborated in any way with Russia’s intelligence agencies. Instead, according to analysts and former officials, Ms. Gabbard seems to simply share the Kremlin’s geopolitical views, especially when it comes to the exercise of American military power.

In Russia, the reaction to her appointment has been gleeful, even if Mr. Putin’s government remains wary of American policies, even under a second Trump administration.

This is getting really old. They are not creative enough to come up with a new storyline. Comes across like The Boy Who Cried Wolf.

The NYT still displays the Pulitzer won by Walter Duranty for covering up the Soviet's murder of approximately 10 million Ukrainians in the 1930's, called the Holodomor.

For reference, see:

Holodomor (wikipedia link)

and

wikipedia article on Walter Duranty.

Obamala met with Russian envoys in Europe in February 2022, supposedly to try to ease tensions with Ukraine. Three days later, they invaded. Is she guilty of colluding with the Russians to start a war at the bidding of the MIC? Things that make you go hmm…

3 Russian vessels were sighted in the area within 5 days of the explosions. They all had their transmitters turned off.

(P)(/I)Sure, because countries like Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Ukraine, etc should never be under NATO protection and instead be ruled by Russia. Okay

If it was us we would not have been broadcasting. And it would have been a sub.

Biden basically dared the Russians to invade, even Zelenskyy was telling him to STFU.

“The NYT still displays the Pulitzer won by Walter Duranty for covering up the Soviet’s murder of approximately 10 million Ukrainians in the 1930’s, called the Holodomor. “

I have read numerous books on the Bolshevik revolution and the Soviet Union including Robert Conquest’s “Harvest of Sorrow” which dealt with the mass starvation in the Ukraine.

The evil of the NYT is not just confined to Duranty. The NYT’s “journalist” Herbert Matthews was an apologist for Fidel Castro in the 1950’s, describing him as an “agrarian reformer.”

These are two notable examples but there are others. The New York Times is a metaphysically evil organization.

I have seen your profile, obviously a like minded patriot. Personally I think the New York Times has no place on this forum. While it is good to know what the enemy is thinking I find the rag worthless in both actual news and editorial content. They work for the other team, if you will, and most of the items they print cause me nausea and mental outrage. it would be a far better world if they were not in it and i don’t wish to promote their fortunes in any way.
