@chriusdyork. I have not suggested the ceding of territory. I've urged a return to the Minsk-2 formula. It is your *opinion* that negotiations between the US superpower and the Russian non-superpower (the real parties) will lead to cession of Ukrainian territory. It is not mine. — PolitiTweet.org

@chrisdyork. If, as you say, you are a journalist, why have you relied on third-hand slanders of me rather than checking my actual unchanging position? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

1/2 @chrisdyork I have called for negotiations and peace since the invasion. Because I hate war and think it stupid and needless (Iike President Zelensky, who was elected on a peace programme). I cannot help it if you have only just discovered my unchanging position. — PolitiTweet.org

.@tfchamberlin. If you cannot tell negotiations from surrender, and genuinely think there is no difference between them, then there is no point in my trying to explain anything to you. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@chrisdyork I am not your 'mate'. Ukraine is backed, financed and equipped by the world's largest, richest military power, and by several other rich and powerful states, and is fighting against a decrepit and ill-equipped country. So I do not accept your premise about weakness. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@chrisdyork. That is your opinion. It is not mine. Can you get your head round the problem that some people hold opinions different from yours, and that, rather than shouting abuse at them, you might gain from an open-minded debate. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Yes, @markfrank60. I have yet to see any evidence that an arrest was justified. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

I believe so — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

But @charlesterf, people should not be arrested for their views. Monarchy is not so delicate that it cannot take a bit of heckling. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 @attackdog14 The point about 1914 is that it was so needless. So is this crisis, which has been created over 30 years by neoconservatives as stupid and arrogant as the Prussian militarists of 1914. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

1/2 @attackdog14. I've no desire to give Putin a pass.If you'd read the many articles I have written on this subj since 2012, which are easy to find,you could find out what I think & say, and stop imagining that I favour the invasion,which I don't,or support Putin, which I don't. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@d_lodger I am genuinely fascinated by this claim, though also flummoxed by it. Can you explain your logic? — PolitiTweet.org

Berkeley, I was always told by experts on rhyming slang. The 'Berk' in Berkshire rhymes with 'dark'. — PolitiTweet.org

@robinwardssh. Maybe so. But the police don't patrol the streets stamping out tiresomeness. Far from it. I see tiresomeness going on all the time. Indeed, now I come to think of it, the police don't patrol the streets at all. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@symonhill. As a convinced monarchist, I am inclined to agree that it is hard to see what crime there is in heckling. Would you please contact me tomorrow at The Mail on Sunday in London? — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 @bernardgray and if you really think wars are fought because we don't like tyranny, I assume you and yours will be signing up for the huge legions necessary to challenge tyranny in China and Saudi Arabia and Egypt etc etc , forever and ever. Naivety survives everything, eh? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

1/2 @bernardgray4. And sometimes it is not. If there had been no 1914 war, there'd have been no Hitler, no Lenin and no Stalin. All the horrors of the last 100 years stem from the idiotic war fever of that period. Now neocon morons seek *more* avoidable wars. — PolitiTweet.org

@cantelopebandit. Ukraine's back hasn't been against the wall.NATO expansion propaganda falsely claimed for years that the Russian armed forces were a formidable threat (a claim *I* correctly derided).The USA has been giving Kiev military aid since 1991,hugely expanded since 2014 — PolitiTweet.org
