You can find outtakes on the substack like here:

Putin's War Russian Genocide - the outtakes I
I’ll take the occasion to provide you with some out-takes from our upcoming book, Putin’s War Russian Genocide. We are closing our manuscript and don’t have much time to provide absolutely fresh clickbait content. We do however have plenty of content written up that won’t get into the book.
Russian Genocidal Warfare - the outtakes II
We’ve closed our draft but we do however have plenty of content written up that won’t get into the book. I am resting from genocide and Twitter, especially after a string of blue tick accounts decided its okay to spam atrocities onto timelines without sensitivity labelling. Also broke my humerus snowboarding!
Putin's War Russian Genocide - the outtakes III
My original intro - completely changed for a variety of reasons.

While I’m reworking our book with Phil, I might post some fragments.

Budd of the week

Its been a bad week for the bad analysts. Like the Wavell Room.

How to make a fool of yourself - analyst edition
This week has brought new lows to the political and military analyst community. First off we have Russia watchers shamelessly and stupidly promoting Russian narratives. At the beginning of this week war criminal liar terrorist fascist Girkin (convicted NOT alleged) was running with his rodina under attack narrative.

Or ISW

Genocide apologist of the week

My two (and a half) chapters of the upcoming book deal extensively with genocide propagandists.

Here’s a scumbag. A fat (I’m fat but not disgusting), disgusting, old misygonist dating coach turned genocide propagandist. His twitter profile pic is like those of a 57 year on Tinder pretending to be 32. I offered to debate him but he ignored us because he’s a cowardly click-baiting fascist.

Also an early draft of our book might have had a legal clearance issue because I called Prigozhin the scumbag owner of Wagner. This was before he admitted it. There are lots of other details, written last summer, by our team, that have come true and now look like hindsight. Such is the issue with painting a moving train as Chris Bellamy once told me.

Look, I hate previewing the news. And I’m not great at it. But I can see things clearly.

Putin is shaping up to make a Sportspalast speech this week. See the previous post.

Video of the week.

Long ago I said the land bridge was key to taking back Crimea. Cut of the landbridge and then shell the Kersh bridge. Game over.

Though I can admit to changing my mind.
