This, by .@curtainsilicon, is an textbook example of crcular thinking. *Everything* must be made to fit the theory, even if the results are comically mad, as here. — PolitiTweet.org

Lest we forget this ( rapidly deleted) tweet by Radek Sikorski . Who * can* have told him to take it down https://t.co/52rkpoLwCk — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@tomdiserens Your comment has the virtue of honesty, if of nothing else. Does it occur to you that this 'dump' contains human beings, powerless as you or me, and probably more so, who will as usual be the first to suffer from the policy you so gleefully advocate? https://t.co/N95ONrVd1f — PolitiTweet.org

Indeed, it is horribly likely that the world will not want to remain free. That is why the growth of the PRC is so frightening. — PolitiTweet.org

.@mikegruber Radek Sikorski thought they had. I've tweeted you his tweet. — PolitiTweet.org

.@mikegruber. Radek Sikorski thought the US *did* blow up a pipeline, until he mysteriously deleted this tweet. https://t.co/UGv7TXbwW3 — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 .@tomdiserens If we'd had their interests at heart we'd have opposed the eastward expansion of NATO which turned Ukraine into a battleground between the USA & Russia. And we'd have opposed the US-backed putsch in 2014 which overthrew Ukraine's legitimate, elected President. — PolitiTweet.org

1/2 .@tomdiserens We joined in a non-binding declaration (which we had and have no power to enforce anwyway) to persuade the Ukrainian govt (who were being difficult) to turn over the nuclear weapons they didn't control and couldn't secure. — PolitiTweet.org

.@SunsupRory Weak in verified or indeed verifiable facts. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 [email protected] doubt the Chinese would be so stupid as to *invade* Taiwan. They didn't need to invade Hong Kong but they got it in the end. Even so, they did commit mass murder in their own capital, in public, and the 'rules-based' 'West' said 'Let's have a trade deal'. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

Yes, .@oliusthe , but that 'neo-imperialist' stuff is just propaganda, unrelated to historical reality, geography, economics, military power or physical fact. Why not study for yourself, and think critically, rather than just regurgitating what you got off the internet? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@kynohy, an excellent choice. — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@oliusthe The ‘rules based order’ we and the USA violated in Iraq? The ‘acute threat’ from a nation in headlong retreat for 30 years, whose GDP is the size of Italy’s? The ‘western fold’ which includes Turkey and Saudi Arabia? You’re not thinking,just sloganising.. — PolitiTweet.org

.@matthewhyned Then I do not understand your answer ‘ We are not Switzerland’ to my question about how UK involvement in the Russo-American war in Ukraine benefits this country or its people. — PolitiTweet.org

2/2 .@mattgewhybed . And what’s wrong with Switzerland - a country more independent, better-governed, more prosperous and better-defended country than we are? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

@matthewhyned What gives you the idea that UK foreign policy ( famous for the Suez fiasco, the putsch against Mossadeq,,invading Iraq and cringing to Saudi Arabia) is designed or configured to combat evil? — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

The Hersh account is weak. But is a pretext for the seml-official London ‘Times’ to mention the rather large possibility that Russia didn’t blow up its own pipelines.https://t.co/q6unaH3iqF — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

But weren’t you privately educated , @kelvmackenzie? — PolitiTweet.org

No, he didn't. — PolitiTweet.org

.@maggiethatch_ Nurse! We've got another case of Munich syndrome (a sad condition whose sufferers imagine that all military and diplomatic crises are identical to that in Munich in 1938). So far there is no known cure except education- and where can they get that these days? . — PolitiTweet.org

Rare discussion on Western media of a major issue in Ukraine. 'Ukrainians express worries over conscription following Russia's invasion' https://t.co/0LTGvKXlh4 — PolitiTweet.org

Peter Hitchens @ClarkeMicah

.@kelvinmackenzie. Can you explain this opinion? How do Britain and its people (unable to sustain adequate defences of their own islands) benefit from widening and deepening a dangerous European War, which is essentially between the USA and Russia? — PolitiTweet.org

On the contrary, @mikewwatso, The Cromwellians besieged Oxford three times and eventually took it, though very gently. . Charles fled by a back way. A tiny piece of the civil war earthworks survives just off Mansfield Road. — PolitiTweet.org

Alas, no @cheekymark1917 I have moved too many times and it has gone missing. I wish I did ..It was better than than the fancy French pans you can get these days.. — PolitiTweet.org
