.@mrschmitzo. I must confess it is many years since I have read 'Animal Farm', an enjoyable Trotskyist fable, though much of it lingers permanently in my memory, especially Boxer being carted off to the glue factory, and the wisdom of Benjamin the Donkey. — PolitiTweet.org

@MrSchmitzo FDR's lavish support for Stalin's empire was astonishing, and went far beyond necessity. Sean McMeekin's fascinating recent book 'Stalin's War' asserts that the USSR got far better treatment under lend-lease than Britain. — PolitiTweet.org

.@johnsmith91234 No. Berlin Rules. A lot of squawking, no doubt, comes from Poland. but in hard reality, the giant EU subsidies to Warsaw (eg https://t.co/Vi2jBTJyIM ) have always made it clear who was ultimately in charge. — PolitiTweet.org

.@3AveEast24St *You* are pitiably misinformed. I took no part in the EU referendum, did not vote in it and loathe the term 'Brexit'. I called for the Norway Option, and would still like Britain to return to the Single Market. — PolitiTweet.org

But . @huskerdree Lugburz is very nice at this time of year! The view of Mount Doom is unmatched, and these days you can rent there using AirBnb. — PolitiTweet.org

.@edwardlucas. Why is the EU clearly not an empire? The EU's constituent members have, for the most part, no frontiers, no true currency or economic policy of their own, and are subject to an imperial veto from the ruling power. Ask the Greeks and the Cypriots, especially. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@edwardlucas A 'good deal', in money terms -but a country which mobilises national pride so much (especially against the Russians) looks silly when it abandons national sovereignty to the Germans. As we used to be reminded, there were 2 armies in the 1939 Brest-Litovsk parade. — PolitiTweet.org

.@rasaar2 . Idiot. I was challenging the unquestioning acceptance, by media and public, of claims attributed ( like the 2003 ‘45 minute warning’ and ‘WMD’) to ‘intelligence’ . A society that mocks scepticism towards authority is a society on the way to despotism. — PolitiTweet.org

.@jasonp0well. They would ignore my arguments for peace whatever I had done or not done. We have raised a generation which, by and large, rather likes war (provided it stays far away) and which is subservient to authority too. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

What was the 'mistake' , .@jasonp0well? I asked a *question* . In what world, except the world of the hoplessly subservient, who accept all that authority says at face value, can that ever be a mistake? — PolitiTweet.org

I have no idea . @peterbale, what you mean by 'nihilistic', and suspect you too are unsure what this pretentious term means. My view is that of many serious diplomats and political figures, from George Kennan to Yegor Gaidar. What did I get wrong? — PolitiTweet.org
