.@mason_garry. Why are you sure of that? Why would you want to explain away the invasion? Why would you want Russia exonerated from blame? I have not suggested that it does any such thing, nor would I wish it to do so. You are shutting your mind. — PolitiTweet.org

That is, not February 2022, @francis_scarr. — PolitiTweet.org

.@francis_scarr. Are you going to leave this tweet up, now that you’ve shown you can’t substantiate what you said about Russian State TV in February? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Yes,@francis_scarr, my recollection is of western assessments of this kind, rather than of Russian boasts of imminent victory. It’s an odd form of displacement to mock the Russians for what we said. Keep up the monitoring. — PolitiTweet.org

.@lepolymath88 . I rather think it is comparable. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@lepolymath88 . It isn’t a ‘claim’ but a fact. Russell travelled to Germany, was given advanced training at a camp near Berlin, and then set off back to Ireland aboard a U-boat. He died of natural causes on the way. So he couldn’t put his training to use. — PolitiTweet.org

Ah, two days, not three, and not at the time, @francis_scarr. Goodish try, but not really as advertised. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @SjoerdvanHoorn: Peter Hitchens is completely right. The aristocratic element is essential to a well-governed polity. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @g_gosden: Peter Hitchens is a vile, pompous, self opinionated slug. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @nickdalton1972: Extraordinarily prescient piece from Peter Hitchens in 2008. @ClarkeMicah you nailed it. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@francis_scarr. Can you source (with references) the claim that Russian media said Russian forces would be in Kiev in three days? I hear it said a lot but cannot, so far, find a record of it. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@freebirdsoars. I gave you the presumption of intelligence, and you did not live up to it. But you must not tell these defamatory, easily proven lies. They damage you. I have condemned the invasion from the start as evil and wrong. I describe Putin as a sinister tyrant. Bye now. — PolitiTweet.org

RT @PaulAlatar: @ClarkeMicah Next you'll be telling everyone you want to nationalise the railways — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Yes @andrewrogoff, I think that, outside certain parts of Ukraine (where he is regarded as a hero) that remains the general impression of the late Mr Stepan Bandera. This article also describes his unpleasant movement: https://t.co/lFuZeC50SA — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Yes .@ChrisAn39407384 Bonaparte and Hitler were notorious for their weakness. Not, as it happens, as clever a remark as you must have thought. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

RT @WilliamClouston: @ClarkeMicah I’m not surprised. The public has a better grasp of the conservative left than most journalists. — PolitiTweet.org

Nice chap. ☠️ — PolitiTweet.org

And yet .@stevemayman it survives in a different form. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@freebirdsoars, You have been misisng my point all day. Enough. You can have what heroes you *like*. But if your hero is Stepan Bandera, then you can expect many people of taste and discernment to cross to the other side of the road when they see you coming. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Indeed. The article is confused. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@Freebirdsoars Always unwise to say that I *never* berate things. Even though nobody is trying to get us into a war alongside them, I do berate such people(scroll down, and you'll find your hero coupled, in my blog with Bal Thackeray): https://t.co/C9R8cuyv2T — PolitiTweet.org

.@johnmellis. Oh, I like *music* . I just don't like electronic thumping and screeching. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Some choices were pretty clear, .@freebirdsoars. Pogroms are wrong. No grey, no hard choices. They are just wrong, always and everywhere. I'm sure you'll agree. See: https://t.co/lFuZeCmCha — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@freebirdsoars. Do you think Bandera was anti-Semitic at all? My judgement, btw, is that I don't like people who apologise for men such as Bandera. And I doubt most British people would, if they knew or understood this background. But,as the Telegfraph story showed, they don't. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

2/2 @freebirdsoars. I seldom cease to point out the role of the IRA's Sean Russell in 1939, when he offered *his* services to Hitler. He too is admired by ultra-nationalists in his home country. They even march to his statue in Dublin every so often to commemorate him. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

1/2 @freebirdsoars. I should certainly mention it if the organs of opinion here were trying to browbeat the British population into supporting Bal Thackeray-style Hindu nationalism in a major war.... — PolitiTweet.org
