.@theseusofdillon. Did your admiration of my late brother extend to agreeing with his enthusiastic support for the American invasion of Iraq? Just checking. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@ichbinmandryka. I know I did. Not sure when the Kremlin ever said Putin was a sinister tyrant or that the invasion was wrong and stupid. Or that Russian armed forces are decrepit. Could you point me to the Russian propaganda sources which say this? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Oh , another Russia expert. I’ll let you get on, since you have already got a complete appreciation of the crisis off the BBC. Better still, you think it is your own opinion. How could I possibly help? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Well @desg41164958 And yet the reasons given , illegal invasion etc, have not in the past necessarily caused us to back wars against the culprits .We must learn to distinguish between reasons and pretexts. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 @djneils98 I might try to explain to them (for example) that CH's anti-God arguments weren't that good, or that his grasp of Britsh and EU politucs was poor (both true) but they wouldn't care. But they do care abt Iraq and WMD — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

1/2 @djneils98 Supporting the stupidest and worst war in modern hsistory is quite a lot, as is being fooled by some of the crdest propaganda around. And I have got it, haven't I? Thing is, all his God-hating fanboys are also against the Iraq war.... — PolitiTweet.org

As I say, I think Peking hopes to gain a political, not a military victry. — PolitiTweet.org

.@kynohy I recently travelled to Salzgitter to renew my humourlessness certificate (a series of tests, written and oral are necessary, and it is necessary to drink a certain amount of beer and eat a certain quantity of Bratwurst wthin a limited time) and was successful. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 I referenced this interesting work in my 2018 book 'The Phoney Victory' written partly as a (failed and minor) attempt to warn against what then seemed to me to be a growing desire in certain states for a war with Russia. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

1/2 . 18 Years ago Norman Solomon wrote (in his book 'War Made Easy ') an essay called 'This Guy is a Modern-Day Hitler, in which he recorded the repeated comparisons of the enemy of the moment with the Nazi dictator and mass murderer. https://t.co/bLZjyw4e0T — PolitiTweet.org

.@oakely_dokely. How can I be sure? But if I were Taiwanese, I certainly wouldn’t bet on the USA rescuing me from Peking. Compare US rhetoric with actual arms sales, diplomatic status etc.. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@kimberleypipet. I do not know who issues or confirms such ‘rights’ , but bringing down is the easy part. Have you already forgotten Iraq and Libya, cauldrons of blood and screams since they were ‘liberated’ by Western nations? — PolitiTweet.org

Yes @kynohy , I wonder if ‘more bureaucracy’ is a polite way of saying ‘more corruption’? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@arbithnot_jim Oh , Peking will build its forces to outmatch those of the USA and then encourage and pressure Taipei to ‘request’ reunion with the PRC. Ultimately Washington won’t risk war fur Taiwan, or Japan. The contrasting obsession with decrepit Russia is weird. — PolitiTweet.org

.@arbuthnot_jim . Russia, as I have pointed out for years and as is now obvious to all, is a minor conventional power based on a weak economy and bad demographics. The belligerents of the world know that only the USA is strong enough to get away with invading countries. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@grumpymillerman Don’t be silly. The USA did not want Ukraine to have nukes. Therefore Ukraine did not choose. It did what it was told. — PolitiTweet.org
