Yes @mikesalter74 . An under-rated book with many perceptive strands in it. Brilliant description of the late USSR as 'a knight dying inside his armour' . Frantic desire of Western 'intelligence' agencies to believe Soviet weapons more accurate and powerful than they were. — PolitiTweet.org

Very witty .@jprnyct. In fact the KJV is a very faithful translation from the original tongues. — PolitiTweet.org
John Evans @jprnyct
@MikeAmbleside @ClarkeMicah I would have thought that there would be more differences than that, given that the KJV is in English.

It was . Also by the late, great Robert Fisk, who so sadly died soon afterwards. And by that distinguished veteran correspondent Jonathan Steele. The fury lies and spite directed against me *for* reporting it were astonishing, and a good education. — PolitiTweet.org

Small piece of gossip on this debate. Before it began, organisers said there'd be no vote. I (not caring much) said it was bound to go against my side. I went to get a cup of tea. When I came back it had been 'decided' to have a vote. My side duly lost. https://t.co/rZeRqtMCdd — PolitiTweet.org

@bonehead007007 In most cases it was an elite decision, and I imagine you would find that there was quite a lot of lobbying. I know of only one referendum on the subject of joining NATO, and I'd be interested to hear of any election campaign where it was a major issue. — PolitiTweet.org

.@elvemomartin. NATO expansion was a response to the problems of arms makers, robbed of business by the end of the Cold War. It was a response by Clinton to his need for votes from Polish-Americans Ukrainian-Americans etc. And it kept lots of NATO bureaucrats in paid work. — PolitiTweet.org
