Glenn Greenwald debunks the Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian Asset Hoax "Tulsi Gabbard devoted her life to fighting for her country. A big reason why she came to dislike these intelligence services was because she went to Iraq and fought there when Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden, George Bush, and Dick Cheney were sending her there. She realized that she was sent there on false pretenses, but she stayed in the army. She's in the Army Reserves as a lieutenant colonel to this day. Imagine being her and hearing all these people who constantly cheered for wars but never went and fought in them, questioning her patriotism and her loyalties by fabricating this claim that she's a Russian asset. If you listen to these interviews where they call her that, the one that thing is missing is any basis whatsoever for accusing her of being that. It's just an accusation that is deemed acceptable and true, but no evidence is required." ----- Tulsi Gabbard opposed President Obama and the CIA's efforts to partner with ISIS and Al Qaeda in an attempt to overthrow Assad in Syria. She understood from first-hand experience the catastrophic consequences of the Middle East wars and didn't want us to repeat them. She also criticized the U.S. foreign policy establishment for blocking the Istanbul Peace Deal between Ukraine and Russia at the start of the war because she didn't want Ukraine to be destroyed in a proxy war between superpowers. In response, Hillary Clinton, the Democrat Party, and the corporate media continue to fabricate the baseless narrative that Tulsi Gabbard is a Russian asset. This is yet another iteration of the "Russia, Russia, Russia" hoax—a strategy the Washington D.C. political establishment has repeatedly deployed against its opponents over the past decade. Tulsi Gabbard would make an excellent Director of National Intelligence. Her firsthand experience with the realities of war, her service on the Armed Services and Foreign Affairs Committees in Congress, and her healthy skepticism of intelligence agencies that have misled the American public into decades of disastrous wars make her uniquely qualified for the role. @TulsiGabbard @ggreenwald
