Object all you like, .@anonnowar22. Even so, what you idealise as 'Maidan' was infiltrated by ultra-right armed thugs, openly supported by foreign politicians and resulted in the lawless overthrow of the elected head of state, - all this done in*preference* to early elections . — PolitiTweet.org

A *couple* of armed people , .@anonnowar22. Where do you get that figure? I think those around at the time would have set the figure higher than that. I am tweeting to you the letter to the TLS by former Wall Street Journal reporter David Roman, who witnessed the events. — PolitiTweet.org

.@anonnowar22. What point do you make here? A significant group of the Maidan protestors were armed, and police officers died at their hands. The mob rejected a deal for early elections made by their own leaders, preferring lawless violence.These are facts. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 .@anonnowar . Those who approve of it tell untruths about it or deny it, but what they really mean is that they're quite happy to see the overthrow of an elected head of state by a mixture of violence and lawlessness. What does that make them?Do you want to be one of those? — PolitiTweet.org

1/3 Is that your opinion , @scottberry912? If not, to whom do you attribute it in this conversation? This is not the way to argue if you claim to be an apostle of reason. I'd say living standards for many remain appalling, but perhaps you are Eurocentric. @ThreeJacques — PolitiTweet.org

I've only just seen this infuriating, smug remark. It almost makes me wish the author could be transported to Iran and made to endure (say) shortages of badly-needed medicines because some Western twerp thinks he didn't try hard enough to overthrow the Ayatollahs. .@isainvestor — PolitiTweet.org

.@anonnowar. It would be extremely rude of you to inform me that I was so all-get-out stupid as to take what I saw and heard wholly on trust, especially in such a devious, lie-infested place. After Vilnius in January 1991 I could hardly bring myself to *speak* to *any* Russians. — PolitiTweet.org

.@bmcgrewvy Thank you for the kind words. But I fear Mr Holland seems to view any sort of clash of opinions (with its implication that he might conceivably be mistaken) as bad manners, which makes engagement impossible. He also takes a de-haut-en-bas view, which doesn't help. — PolitiTweet.org

Generally, .@jwfthoughts, people find time for what they want to do. If you wnat something done quickly, ask a busy man to do it. Mr Holland , .@holland_tom, finds time to jeer when .@dcsandbrook refuses to debate with me, but not to engage properly when I challenge him to do so. — PolitiTweet.org
JWF @JWFthoughts
@ClarkeMicah @holland_tom Perhaps he genuinely has more important or more exciting things to do.

Yes, @johnsmith91234 Poland, at that time under military rule, was I think the first country to sign such a pact with Nazi Germany, in 1934. As I recall, it came up for renewal in 1939, which led to some interesting contacts in 1938. — PolitiTweet.org
