Did n't your mother tell you not to tell lies, .@Sebasti87105371? I have always condemned the invasion, and regard it as a stupid mistake as well as lawless barbarism. — PolitiTweet.org

@ljc4sytems Have you ever seen the dead body of a person killed in war? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

This is twitterr, not a long article @tomthescribe. In my experience, there are differing views among Ukrainians. I quote some of them here, if that is what you desire: https://t.co/gH1Qtie5rM — PolitiTweet.org

This is incoherent @bkbv314. Can you perhaps try again when you are feeling better? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Fault? No, but there is no doubt that US support for the 2014 putsch made these events more likely. Try to drop the propaganda and the rage, and to stick to facts and reason . — PolitiTweet.org

You have mistaken conformism for reality. — PolitiTweet.org

@johnhasler4. I didn’t go to Oxbridge, and war is not a game. What is your point? — PolitiTweet.org

@bickypeg the simple use of a search engine ( not Google) is advisable before making bold pronouncements about what you think someone has not said. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

This is normal with wars. More death and more destruction lead to worse terms, not better. — PolitiTweet.org

Little by little the truth of lockdown is being admitted: it was a disaster https://t.co/C9sQCPlWGn — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Sanctions hurt ordinary people and have been cruel and disastrous in Iraq and Iran. How .@xenasolo , does supplying weapons promote peace? I am sure you are a good person but I suspect you have not seen war or suffering. — PolitiTweet.org

Goodnight grown-ups, everywhere. — PolitiTweet.org

Thank you @pounderjane1 — PolitiTweet.org

Peace will come, .@rupertsmum1953, whatever you or I do. But the number of happy, healthy people now alive who will be dead, maimed or refugees by the *time* it comes depends to some extent on the willingness of people to seek that peace. Sooner is better. — PolitiTweet.org

@likeuson. I know I cannot persuade you of this, but it is pure fantasy. Russia has wanted to redraw Ukraine's borders since 1991, but the idea that Russia seriously seeks to re-establish the Soviet Empire (or is able to) is daft fantasy. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@owniki. It is a very strange fact. Yet this is clearly a conflict between the USA and Russia, in which Ukraine and its people have been used as a battering ram. Most Ukrainians would much have preferred to live in peace. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@gardening_miss. If I had shown you a blank map of Europe eight months ago, could you have found Ukraine on it? Do you know who Stepan Bandera was, or Nikita Khrushchev or Leonid Kravchuk or Roman Shuikeyvich? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Please continue to do so so @jillgderby . In my Church we always pray :'Give peace in our time , O Lord, because there is none other that fighteth for us, but only thou, O God.' — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@FromUSAwithL0VE A negotiated compromise was available, and Zelensky was elected on a programme of pursuing it. But Poroshenko and the Banderites, not discouraged by the USA, preferred confrontation. I regret this greatly, but it is so. You like war? Have you seen it? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

I do not think provocation justifies . But I think that it explains, @revolutionplants. Ukraine and Ukrainians have never played a major part in this conflict, which is at heart a Russian-American quarrel fought out in Ukraine.Calling me babyish names does not alter that. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

When did you stop thinking and become a groupthink enforcer, @anonnowar22? Calling me insulting names is not an answer to my arguments. — PolitiTweet.org

@adbenmorrisb. I know. Please read https://t.co/Nt7vcEjy06 — PolitiTweet.org

Far from it, @RWdelusion. Militant nationalism, the Ukrainian opinion most heard here, is never a very thoughtful position. You are perhaps unaware that there are *other* Ukrainian voices, not so much heard in this country. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Well, I said I'd be abused. Interestingly what I have not had is any serious rebuttal. — PolitiTweet.org

Do you know any actual history, or just the Simpsons Cartoon version, @darkgarland? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@anagalisarvensi. Do you know any actual history, or just a propaganda version of the Munich era? Churchill, , along with FDR, hugely appeased Stalin at Yalta. The alternative would have been an appalling endless war. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Without provocation? Even Robert Kagan, Victoria Nuland's superhawk husband, accepts that there was provocation - and said so in 'Foreign Affairs'. https://t.co/ykDvkKDMLJ Don't be daft. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@galowiczr You seem to have slept through the bit of history when OUN anti-Semites threw their lot in with Hitler, for sure. Or do you sing 'Bandera is our father'? — PolitiTweet.org
