PETER HITCHENS: Now we *know* that our leaders lost their heads over Covid https://t.co/Jh6o0mFevy via @MailOnline — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Yup, it's a good read. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Scrabbling , .@rjgfox. Yanukovych won. Nobody, not even the Gas Princess , serioulsy disputed it. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

RT @leeasht36354044: @Mr_Andrew_Fox @ClarkeMicah Peter Hitchens has shown remarkable patience in debating with you. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Yes, .@Mr_Andrew_Fox , the western-backed and-condoned overthrow of Ukraine's elected sovereign government by a nationalist mob, who rejected early elections they feared they'd lose, was deeply aggressive & unjustified, and plunged Ukraine into nine years of bloody war. So far — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

I'l say it again .@Mr_Andrew_Fox . I presume my opponent is serious until he shows beyond reasonable doubt that this is a mistake.After that, I regard ad hominem as permissible,even desirable. I told you four times because that way it might stick. Let's really hope so. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

RT @kinnell2: @Mr_Andrew_Fox @Cymru1984 @ClarkeMicah You might want to look at your moral compass. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Beyond dispute .@rjgfox. Nobody seriously questions his election -as everyone knows who is at all informed about the course of events in Ukraine.Pathetic attempted wriggle, earns nul points. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

So, .@Mr_Andrew_Fox time to bow out gracefully. Let's see you try. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

but yu did not want it . And I do not need you of all people to tell me it is correct. @Mr_Andrew_Fox — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

and then you got an answer you did not want or expect. .@Mr_Andrew_Fox — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@greatstrides65 like his friend .@Mr_Andrew_Fox ,is so consumed by prejudice that he thinks I won't answer. So when I reply that Putin is responsible for the invasion,they'll no doubt tell me that I actually mean the opposite. Bigotry's more fun than knowledge or understanding. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

And yet .@Mr_Andrew_Fox received the answer — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Here again the polite and reasonable .@mr_andrew_fox charmingly informs me that I hold opinions I have never expressed and do not hold, and in fact have many times specifically rejected. But never mind. He was once a tough soldier. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Here the supposedly polite and reasonable .@mr_andrew_fox displays his angry refusal to listen or study. One of the most anti -Russian figures in US foreign policy, Robert Kagan , has written that Russia was provoked. Mr Fox thinks he knows better. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@mr_andrew_fox What you dismiss as ‘whataboutery’ (as if this is a devastating riposte) is in fact at the centre of the Christian religion, and concerns a failing known as hypocrisy. Look it up. Mote and beam. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@mr_andrew_fox again displays his Olympically obtuse inability to grasp that I am not *trying* to excuse Russia for invading Ukraine. He pays no attention to anything I say. This is in fact fantastically rude. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@mr_Andrew_fox asks why I decided he no longer merited the presumption of intelligence. This is an example. His dogged false belief that dissent on the war means support for, or Justification for the Russian invasion . Regardless of what I actually think or say.. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

RT @Mr_Andrew_Fox: I had a twitter debate with @ClarkeMicah today, as you may have seen. I’ve never seen such a bad faith display of whatab… — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Putin, .@mr_andrew_fox Whatever dud you think I would say? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Simply wrong, .@mykhailoxpih . The nationalist leaders agreed with Yanukovych and the EU on early elections etc . But when the mob rejected the deal, they ran away. Afraid they’d lose, almost certainly.. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@glennfromza . Oh, you mean the ‘clearer thinking Hitchens’ who believed in WMD and supported the disastrous Iraq War. No, you are right. I am not him. But you might just be a prize dingbat. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Amazing that people * still* blithely assert that Yanukovych was not unlawfully deposed. Here’s Prof Richard Sakwa, in ‘ Frontline Ukraine’ https://t.co/rJhaANgCc3 — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@libertywho. Details of the unlawful removal of Yanukovych. From ‘Frontline Ukraine’ by Prof Richard Sakwa. Please retract your mistaken assertion. https://t.co/FxGxGKucA3 — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

2:2.@libertywho It is most certainly true. Details to follow. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@libertywho This scripted response only satisfies the ignorant . You would have run away. His life was in danger, but he was still in Ukraine at the time if his unlawful deposition by an insufficient, unconstitutional vote in the Rada. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@thestoicsailor. Have you examined the exchange? The fact that you can’t spell my name suggests that your inspection was cursory at best. https://t.co/ACQUMkLoob — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

That is a remarkably stupid tweet , in every conceivable way. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@pilgrimmission. Thank you — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Indeed, .@fatuoustec, I said that .@mr_andrew_fox had *a* nerve. Not nerve. The two are quite distinct . I’ve not previously encountered a soldier so anxious to point to his military record. — PolitiTweet.org
