Absurd article in the @ft tries to recruit the late George Kennan, who came out of retirement to warn against NATO expansion, into the ‘Slava Ukraini’ choir? Do the authors genuinely not know anything about Kennan? https://t.co/886I6CxuVD — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

oh, ‘nearly always’ @johnpauljonesin ? Do please tell me what authoritative judge provides your shifting definition. The point is simple. Military assistance to another country is military intervention. Btw, where’s my $105 million? — PolitiTweet.org

By which you mean what, .@ben_hattie? — PolitiTweet.org

Have we forgotten the quality of mercy? My MoS column tomorrow. Shamima’s being punished without a trial. All I see is a nasty sort of mob justice https://t.co/UyKhh4urrJ via @mailplus — PolitiTweet.org

.@johnpauljonesin says Colonel Gadaffi did not intervene militarily in Northern Ireland when he supplied weapons to the IRA. ( see also Stalin and Spain) — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@johnpauljonesin says Russia did not intervene in the Donbas, when it sent military aid to the separatists there. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Redefine , @johnpauljonesin? Who has ever excluded the supply of weapons, training and cash from military intervention? Do you think these things are not accompanied by personnel to direct and train their users? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

I'm not wrong, and not embarrassed. But you (who were not merely wrong but applied a slanderous epithet to me as part of your mistake) are a coward, lacking the courage (or manners)to rectify your error or apologise for the slander. @johmnpauljonesin . Do the decent, or go away. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

No, you just made that up, @pieops. the supply of weapons, advice and aid to the military of a country is military aid, as anyone discovers who provides such aid to near-neighbours of the USA. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

With pleasure .@martingoold . https://t.co/k8hxUa2TSy — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

So what , @scottberry? The question is whether the west *has* given military aid to Ukraine, since long before the age of Putin which it has. Stop wriggling. .@johnpauljonesin — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@Tim50251471 This claim is repeatedly made without thought or evidence. Ukraine has halted the Russian invasion and even retaken lost territory. Russia is exposed (to those who claimed otherwise) as militarily weak and incompetent. These are excellent conditions for negotiation. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@JohnPaulJonesin then please send me $105 million,if it is 'effectively nothing' you can spare it. Yes, I do call arming a country military intervention (as would you if it was Russia arming Donbas separatists). And I also call you a coward for not admitting you were wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Now *why* did US taxpayers start giving Ukraine military aid back in 1991? Nobody had heard of Putin in those days. https://t.co/1RlHLl6kY5 — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@johnpauljonesin says I was ‘fraudulent’ to say the West intervened militarily in Ukraine before 2014. This is from a House of Commons Library briefing, No 7135, March 2022. https://t.co/VEgcfhdlXN — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

[email protected] : The USA has been arming Ukraine since 1991, and intensively since 2014. See page 6 here https://t.co/k8hxUa2TSy .Please now withdraw the insulting word 'fraudulent' as one way of looking less silly than you now do. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Thank you .@hhepplewhite — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@edwardlucas. Well, whether you are admitting, proclaiming, or merely saying it, it is pretty bad, isn't it? Your stated objective is to make the world a thousand times more dangerous than it already is. The first peace of Brest-Litovsk was quite bad enough. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Quite so @fredbasset9. Which covers the Iraq invasion, and also the western-backed and western-excused 2014 putsch which overthrew the President who had been democratically elected by the Ukrainian people on the last occasion they all had the chance to vote. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

RIP Bernard Ingham, a good man, whose failings (such as they were) look tiny beside the monstrous things done by his successors in the government press service. And, by the way, a grammar school product and another ex-labour reporter. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@scottberry Then you shouldn't use it, as it cannot mean anything to you and it falls dead from your lips or your pen. As for the rest of your tweet, I really have no idea what it is supposed to convey. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Yes, well, @jibby646, this comes as no surprise. I have tried to tell people about the 'Conservative Party' for many years., And now, very slowly and far too late, they are beginning to grasp that I'm right about that too. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@scottberry912. Also, I know that people use terms such as 'hellbent' casually and without thought, but the human race has seldom got as close to the gates of Hell as it did during the period described in the review. Please read it https://t.co/oZeqGGvgpO — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@scottberry912 Roman Shukheyvich was neither Churchill nor Cromwell. See for example https://t.co/dHasTwhgbA The words I quote from the review are not mine. You should read it. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@admcollingwood. I tire of the claim that Ukraine 'had' nuclear weapons. It no more controlled those weapons than Britain controlled the American submarines based in Holy Loch in the Cold War. Also the Budapest Memorandum is called that because it is *not* a binding treaty. — PolitiTweet.org
