@ukurbanite. But when does this principle cease to apply? What of the Russians who in 1991 came under Ukrainian rule which they did not desire? If you base your actions on this principle, then they too must get their self-determination. — PolitiTweet.org

.@calmlyobserving. In my Trotskyist days at York, we in the IS published a bulletin for the workers of Rowntrees. Within a couple of weeks, Tariq Ali's boys and girls were competing, with their own publication , 'The Chocolate Mole'. I do hope some copies of this survive. — PolitiTweet.org

@greenfoil2000 . Read the article. We ‘make peace with evil’ all the time. We are on warm terms with evil in Saudi Arabia, acceded to China’s tyranny in Tibet and Hong Kong, and appeased the Provisional IRA. Next. — PolitiTweet.org
ConstantlyDumbfounded @GreenFoil2000
@ClarkeMicah You don't make peace with evil. Putin needs to be destroyed and the Ukrainian people need to be free.

@brendanquantock Churchill did not start the war in 1939, and was severely critical of the Polish guarantee, as the book says. But he understood that negotiating with Hitler after the Fall of France was national suicide. I struggle to find a parallel with the current position. — PolitiTweet.org

The idea that the UK has any formed policy in Ukraine is absurd.Its attitude, succinctly defined by the Blair govt to the late Christopher Meyer, was to climb as far up the **** of the USA as possible, and stay there. I have always preferred De Gaulle's approach. .@poretsi — PolitiTweet.org

@putinisbot. Gross oversimplification. Do you really think that in the modern world aggression is conducted only through open border incursions by troops? Have you never heard of destabilisation? How can people know so little of reality, yet have opinions on geopolitics? — PolitiTweet.org

Margaret Thatcher never expected an independent Ukraine and discouraged talk of such a thing on a visit to Kiev in 1990. Was *she* an appeaser , a 'Putin apologist' or a 'Lord Haw Haw'? People know so little. https://t.co/WHUbsob8EC — PolitiTweet.org

@tubewayarmy29 He said it was 'likely'. A reasonable speculation, but no more prophetic than my speculation that it was unlikely and that Putin would be mad to do it(which he was) . As I said, Zelensky & Lavrov didn't know. But Zhirinovsky plainly did, which is alarming. — PolitiTweet.org
