I like Peter Hitchens, agree on many things he says, except on communism and socialism, the USSR had its faults, and many. The day the Soviet Union indeed was a sad day. It provided America and the west with a carte blanche attitude towards everything, it gave America a hegemonic role in the world illegally. Ask the Iraqis, ask the Afghanistanis, ask the Libyans, ask the Yugoslavians. The Soviets provided a counterbalance, and equilibrium if you like in that role. Communism was misguided and badly enforced, true Marxism was not sadly. Still, overall, the pros outweigh the cons regarding the Soviet Union. Its intentions were good in terms of equality, access to health care, sports, space exploration and culture, equity, education, science, engineering etc, it kept the American foreign policy in check. The problem again, I reiterate, was it's enforcement. So while I agree on Peter on many things, not this. Communism/ Socialism is not evil, if its accepted and nurtured properly.

It massively added to scientific and technological advancement as well as advancements in music, art and culture.

The yanks done well in vietnam lol

One can have understanding with nefarious terrorists in public or privat armies, as long as they don't enter your house or garden. Civilization is a process of throwing a word instead of a stone. 🍷📜🗿⏳

Be careful what you wish for. But wasn’t jeltsin who was the reason why Putin came to power

Hitchens could expound on the virtue of paint drying for an hour and it would still be witty and thoroughly entertaining 👍 His observation of Russian people is so true...Especially the chilled vodka in kitchen 😎

Initially liked news channel not so much now, better than bbc though

Is this Christopher Hitchens brother?

Yes they are brothers

Can people stop saying what I wish for without even asking me. I will tell you what I didn't wish for. Loads of men coming over by boat and working class paying the bills. Weapons that also cost millions, working class paying for. I didn't wish for high taxes and high inflation,high interest rates. I also didn't want lockdowns. I wish we had a western government that listened and others around the world also say we didn't wish for this. You in charge wished it. No my sons are not fighting. Good luck with the west. It is not us.

Long Live Mother Russia. Putin is loved by Russians. Who loves Sunak or any other western leader? 😂

It's not hard to be loved, when all criticism of you is banned!

Patrick Lancaster was on the spot and the crowd loved Wagner and also loved Putin. It didn't match the rhetoric comeing from the Western Media. The Russians he spoke to love Russia, love Putin, love Wagner and love their generals. Oh and one lady loved the Chechens. All very confusing ☺️

Confusing only in the sense it didn't bear any relation to what our government or MSM were claiming.

Not the Narrative prescribed by the pro Ukraine media 🤔 VP gave enough rope and they took it and he fell short of kicking the box from under their feet. Alternative media with a clearer message free of the shoulder to shoulder BJ speak has the answers to most questions. Good chat though. 🙈🙊🙉🇬🇧

Memoirs are boring

Sounds just like Christopher Hitchens lol his voice anyway.
