.@swanpatg It very nearly worked, just as paying Lenin almost worked. Germany’s Spring 1918 offensive, made possible by the Bolsheviks pulling Russia out of the war, nearly beat us. — PolitiTweet.org

I plan to speak about my new book at Blackwell’s bookshop in Oxford at 7.00 PM on 9th February 2023 . You may book here: https://t.co/oIOH4LJSlH — PolitiTweet.org

.@bucktron2021 . Why? What is the USA's historic or current interest in this region, which it was content to leave under Soviet domination right up to 1990 and G.H.W. Bush's Kiev speech of that summer ? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@bucktron2021. Why? What is Britain's historic or present national interest in Ukraine? What do this country and its people gain from this conflict's continuance? — PolitiTweet.org

1. @flapsohoolahan.Russia is distinct from the Soviet Union,whose policies you absurdly accused me of defending. 2.Your list contains significant mistakes about my view. 3. So what. I reach my conclusions independently? 4. I've no idea what Russian bot networks say. Do you? How? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

People need to grasp the Gramscian *principle* of seizing the cultural, moral, educational high ground. The substitution of Green targets for the class struggle, and the adoption of the sexual revolution are key parts of this.Keir Starmer, a leading Red-Green, knows all about it. — PolitiTweet.org

I think it unlikely it can supplant Hugh Thomas’s classic. I find Beevor chewy and hard going. — PolitiTweet.org

.@chimewhistle. Here is the masked engine , from January 2021. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

I do, @chimewhistle. I saw it only a few weeks ago (presumbaly repainting it costs a lot) — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@mschreckenstein. Oh, that the gullible could be made ungullible. Germany urged Austria-Hungary into actions against Serbia which would bring about a Russian mobilisation. Which gave it the pretext for war. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

This is an interesting episode , too https://t.co/Hpvsd9KtfT @threejacques. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@threjacques Well, they *talked* about it. https://t.co/7MG6lVzvzM I hate to think what would have happened to Mexico if it had allied with Germany in 1917. Why, the Americans might have invaded again. — PolitiTweet.org

.@JohnpaulBagnoli I think it was the consultants (who were allowed to keep their lucrative private practices if they also worked for the NHS) rather than the GPs, and he said he 'stuffed their mouths with gold'. — PolitiTweet.org

Thanks, you are right, will check — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Nor I, @littleburgsvik That's why I took the picture. I suspected it might later be denied. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@mschreckenstein. If Berlin didn't want a war on two fronts, why did it voluntarily start such a war in 1914? Only a complete dummkopf would not have expected a Russian advance into East Prussia. Are you a parody account? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@mschreckenstein as for 'It's like blaming the British for Hitler', that must be one of the stupidest things anyone has ever said. Britain did not convoy Hitler to Berlin , load him with gold and encourage him to overthrow the Weimar state. But Germany did that for Lenin. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

1/2 @mschreckenstein. There would have *been* no Soviet history without the 'sealed train' and the gold channelled through Parvus Helphand. It was not a minor role. Lenin's well-funded presence tipped the balance — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Why, @davidfl37102661 . The 2014 putsch was a violent, lawless irruption of foreign force into a sovereign nation, overthrowing its elected leadership and precipitating violence which took thousands of lives and destroyed countless homes. What is the moral difference? — PolitiTweet.org
