Journalist Glenn Greenwald noted Monday that talks to deescalate or end the conflict in Ukraine are virtually nonexistent because the legacy media and political elites have nurtured an atmosphere where to do so is considered \u2018unpatriotic\u2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking to Tucker Carlson, Greenwald stated \u201cThere is a very real threat of a nuclear exchange, or even a direct confrontation with Russia and the United States. And over what? Over who governs and rules, not even Ukraine, but the Donbas, the eastern region in Ukraine, where a majority of people actually identify as ethnic Russians and want to be part of Russia.\u201d<\/p>\n

Greenwald continued, \u201cYet there\u2019s almost no debate about whether we should be sending huge amounts of money there and risking the lives of American citizens through the possibility of a nuclear war.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause everyone knows that the minute you step up and step out of line, there\u2019s a hoard of people ready to call you unpatriotic, or a traitor, or an admirer of Vladimir Putin, as I know is being done with our very segment right this minute by all those Media Matter people and all those other people online,\u201d the journalist continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a really repressive atmosphere and squashing a debate that we absolutely have to have,\u201d Greenwald further urged.<\/p>\n

Greenwald and Carlson also warned that it is foolish not to take Putin at his word that he is willing to deploy Russia\u2019s nuclear arsenal.<\/p>\n
