Did I miss the U.S. change from democracy to fascism? Karine Jean-Pierre is concerned about the spread of misinformation? Ever hear of the First Amendment, Karine? Long live @elonmusk #freespeech

@NeilMacFarquhar Fair point on class. I remember doing an interview w Larry Korb during Iraq and he was pretty upset at the quality of solider we were putting on battlefield. Not exactly prison recruits but not much better. Prob why we saw Abu Ghraib etc.
English
@robert_nolan I thought so too, but was told that while US Army breaks much more rural than urban, it attracts far more middle class recruits than generally assumed. Needs more reporting.
English
@NeilMacFarquhar I'm no Russian apologist but the story on Russia paying recruits signing bonuses, relying on minorities, and lowering the bar dramatically for soldiers to join up could have been written about the US armed forces during our forever wars.
English
@NeilMacFarquhar Pretty much like U.S did during Iraq, right? You probably even reported on this Neil. Worth reminding readers. Can't stand Russian invasion. Also... American exceptionalism.

To fill manpower shortfall, the Kremlin fields combination of impoverished ethnic minorities, Ukrainians from separatist territories, mercenaries and militarized National Guard units to fight the war, and promising hefty cash incentives for volunteers. nyti.ms/3IqnetS

idk this seems so uncharacteristically narcissistic of our selfless potus
“Donald Trump complained that he was COVID-19’s biggest victim. ‘He was just in a fucking rage,’ said a person who spoke with Trump late last week. ‘He was saying, ‘This is so unfair to me!’’”
Gabriel Sherman@gabrielsherman
lt’s very early, and a lot can change come November (or even next week!) But inside Trumpworld, there’s a feeling that at this stage of the pandemic, the campaign is spiraling out of control. My latest: vanityfair.com/news/2020/05/t…
