Really @atticusfinch104? .All truth is inconvenient to someone. I find historians are inevitably selective about what they choose to research. It's resonable to wonder why they have selected some subjects and not concentrated on others. — PolitiTweet.org

@garethellis76. All war is crime. People do terrible things ( see My Lai in Vietna for an example of a democratic country committing and then more or less excusing atrociies) . What's your view of deliberately bombing civilians in their homes? — PolitiTweet.org

.@janinethechef1 . The bookshop is Blackwell's in Oxford, 01865 792792, where you can indeed order signed copies of most of my books (apart from 'Short Breaks' and 'Unconventional Wisdom' , which shops can't stock). This is exceptional. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 .@janinethechef1 .Bush’s ‘chicken Kiev’speech (so dubbed by US hawks) was even more powerful. The people who won the Cold War neither envisaged nor wanted an explosion of ethnic nationalism in this already tense region. As in so many cases, the status quo was not inevitable. — PolitiTweet.org

Not Russia, @janinethechef1 . Mrs Thatcher was overthrown before Gorbachev was. In summer 1990 she went to Kiev to oppose a Ukrainian breakaway. Likewise George Bush senior. Forgotten history can be surprising. Both went through WW2, of course. — PolitiTweet.org

@ClarkeMicah I didn't say it would likely happen just that I don't see an issue if they de-Putinify if they did.
