It's not like Hitchens couldn't have easily found details of what Phillips got up to in Ukraine, there's multiple article detailing it, such as this one theweek.com/news/world-n...
Graham Phillips: the civil servant-turned-Putin propagandist
Former bureaucrat interviews British PoW in Ukraine
theweek.com
Hitchens fails to address that Phillips is a pro-Russian propagandist, literally partied with occupying forces in Ukraine, denied war crimes, and filmed tortured POWs, and proudly received medals from Russian backed military groups for his efforts.
This man proves the UK isn't free - exiled and made destitute for views the government didn't like, while no one protests. It's ludicrous, says PETER HITCHENS trib.al/ZAYECAv

Politico ownership had tried to legally claim during their battle with unions that their broken AI journalism couldn't be expected to adhere to basic journalistic standards (or their agreement with the union) because it was created by coders, not journalists

Lmao, Schröder? What an absolute joke, this nauseating human's dealings with Russia is part of the reason the war started, solidifying European energy dependence on Russia, cutting defence spending, working in Russian energy companies, and still making idiot public statements about how the west […]

New, from me: Take the Palantir manifesto seriously, if not literally. It reveals that our tech philosopher kings want public money, but without public accountability. This creates a dilemma for governments unaligned with its techno-fascist vision. 🧵 donmoynihan.substack.com/p/palantir-w...

"Both sides accuse". Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia lies constantly; the "ceasefire" was never going to be a ceasefire. Anything Ukraine does in self-defence is justified. Why are people still treating this like Russia and Ukraine are mutually culpable? […]

If Orban loses, curious how much the Hungarian gravy train for right-wing academics and think-tankers will dry up. This was the means by which Orban helped to build his stature in the West. He tried to insulate these institutions from election losses. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/make-ameri...
