No worries Tomski; well said John. Nothing further to add except this exchange between Monbiot & Parampil which some might find entertaining: 'Anya Parampil @anyaparampil Hi, I am “the Kremlin” you refer to in this tweet. Can you point out what specifically is false about what I said? Try to avoid the Foreign Office stenography that fills your columns at the pro-war Guardian. Judging from the replies here, your followers see right through it! George Monbiot @GeorgeMonbiot This thread addresses the Kremlin propaganda claims you faithfully recited, and answers them specifically and decisively. Please read it. Quote Tweet Neil Abrams @neil_abrams According to tankies, the 2014 Euromaidan revolution, in which Ukrainians rose up and ousted kleptocratic dictator Viktor Yanukovych, was a “coup” by the U.S. acting in cahoots with Ukrainian Nazis. Was it? Short answer: No Long answer: Also, no. Let’s dig in. [https://twitter.com/neil_abrams/status/1573307576959512576 - don't bother, it's rubbish] Anya Parampil @anyaparampil Yeah, except I was alive at the time and could read basic media reports and comments from US officials myself. So I don’t really need some unknown tweeter to debunk the reality I saw play out before my own eyes. Maybe next time Nuland will let you pass out cookies to putschists!' - https://twitter.com/anyaparampil/status/1623697073060171781 Topper from Blumenthal: 'George Monbiot refers to @anyaparampil as “the Kremlin.” I refer to him as a plant-based neocon, the Hippy Paul Mason, and the MI6’s favorite tree sitter.' - https://twitter.com/MaxBlumenthal/status/1623698701955760128 I
