@anonmugwump full condemnation would have meant calling it a coup, suspending all arms sales on July 3rd and saying new govt illegitimate.

@DanielWickham93 I think its fairly clear you're over-egging lack of condemnation on basis of semantics. No idea how you can turn..

@DanielWickham93 "strongly condemn disproportionate violence", "condemn" military intervention and cancellations of export licenses into an

@DanielWickham93 overly hysterical rallying call against UK position.

@anonmugwump no, it's completely reasonable to expect a democracy to stop arming a foreign military if it overthrows an elected government.

@DanielWickham93 not when govt requires arms for extremists in Sinai. Completely agree shud stop weapons used for repression - which we have

@DanielWickham93 "strong condemnation", "condemnation", stopping licenses not good enough cos didnt use word coup + legit weapons transfers

@DanielWickham93 Quite frankly, it's anti-Western hysteria based on semantics

@anonmugwump anti-Western? Do me a favour. Criticising Western governments isn't anti-Western.
