3/3 @alanjpearson In general, Switzerland is about the only major country that can moralise about war crimes, atrocities etc, and even they have problems over their compromises with the Nazis. — PolitiTweet.org

1/2 .@alanjpearson. But alas, it is a reason, and knowledgeable anti-Russian supporters of the US policy such as Robert Kagan admit that it is. See https://t.co/BNN8kCxR4w Provocation is important, as is who first resorted to violence, in any quarrel. — PolitiTweet.org

.@Indolent_Knave Alas, not, I lomg to have time to walk along that part of the coast, as well as the Northumbrian coast to the north. It's a huge gap in my knowledge, glimpsed at best from trains. Mind you, the desolate,abandoned tin mines near Gunnislake are an astonishng sight. — PolitiTweet.org

Quiet so @janinethechef1 . But what interests me is that, although they must be aware of ther sketchy knowledge, it does not prevent them from advocating one of the most dnagerous policies ever embraced by this country, or from deriding and smearing those who oppose them. — PolitiTweet.org

.@nowcinractearth. Why not? The 2014 putsch was a blatant interference in the internal affairs of a sovereign nation. Violent and lawless in itself, it began a period of violence, destruction and atrocities which still continues. How is it morally different from an invasion? — PolitiTweet.org

@alanjpearson . No. Zelensky’s predecessor, Petro Poroshenko, was not overthrown. But *his* predecessor, Yanukovych, the last Ukrainian President to be elected by the whole country, was unquestionably overthrown in a lawless, violent Western-backed putsch in February 2014. — PolitiTweet.org
Alan Pearson @alanjpearson
@ClarkeMicah I’m usually in sync with you but to suggest the scumbag in charge before Zelenskyy was overthrown is tosh.

Exactly, @janinethechef1 Also the left's campaign against private education is empty sloganising. Only a totalitarian govt could shut it down. Majority Labour govts have had repeated opportunities to close it if they wanted to & have not done so. But they did shut the grammars. — PolitiTweet.org
