Heya dickhead, "certified lunatic" here. First, I'd like to thank you for the confirmation I continue to live in your empty, diseased head rent-free despite my Twitter suspension. As I've said before, you should really speak to someone about your absolutely fanatical sexual obsession with me. It's flattering to a degree, but certainly not reciprocal, and I'm beginning to get more than a bit worried. To the extent I'm tempted to report you to your local PD.
Now, to business. You cite Putin's much-quoted (and misrepresented) 2021 essay on Russia and Ukraine's relationship. Why did you omit passages referencing how Russia remained "open to dialogue with Ukraine and ready to discuss complex questions...it is important for us to understand that our partner is defending its national interest, not serving someone else's...We respect the Ukrainian language and traditions. We respect Ukrainians' desire to see their country free, safe and prosperous...Russia has never been and never will be 'anti-Ukraine'. And what Ukraine will be, it is up for citizens to decide"?!?!?!
Is it because you're an absolutely pathetic propagandist? Asking for a thing.

I dunno Kit. Maybe because (1) reporting from multiple outlets shows that Putin had already made the decision to invade in Feb. 2021, five months before he published the article (see, for instance, https://verstka.media/8964-2) and (2) I’m intelligent enough to recognize pro forma overtures for “negotiations,” voiced by a notoriously mendacious dictator, for what they are instead of taking them at face value like some sort of naïf, especially when said pro forma overtures are made in the context of ultimatums and threats of destruction? Just because you yourself choose to adopt the persona of moronic credulity when it comes to your favorite autocrats doesn’t mean the rest of us have to follow suit.
By the way, aren’t your designated thirty minutes of daily Internet use just about up? You should get back to your room lest those beefy male nurses come and straitjacket you again.

Yet further BDSM fantasies. You need professional help, Neil. It's genuinely frightening the scenarios you conjure to sexualise me. I approach you as your objective intellectual and journalistic better. No more, no less. Perhaps you could do me the courtesy, at the very least, of not using my legitimate criticisms of your embarrassingly bad, barely-read "work" as opportunities to weave deranged, lascivious narratives. Once. In your sad life.
Oh I almost forgot. I just opened up my newsletter to accept payments. As one of my most loyal and engaged readers, can I count on you to become a founding member at $160? Alternatively, a monthly or annual subscription would also be suitable. Thank you, as ever, for your support, Kit.
Fantastic piece. Thank you.
Putin words are just "misrepresented", don't you get it? I don't know why nobody sees this! Stop "misrepresenting" his words 😢
Brilliant.
🙏

"reporting from multiple outlets shows that Putin had already made the decision to invade in Feb. 2021" does it? That link you shared is based on speculation and nameless sources. Now, absorb establishment mouthpiece James Harkin's take on why the invasion happened: https://harpers.org/archive/2022/05/operation-overshare-how-the-white-house-misled-ukraine/

😂 Is Grayzone still paying this guy?
I’m not sure at this point whether their often displayed naivety when it comes to Putin is cute, or calculated.
Not sure. But I don't think there's any such thing as "too unhinged" from The Grayzone's standpoint.
Haha, true.
Great piece btw
Keep up the good work Kit, your contributions are in no way an embarrassment to the publications you work for. 👍
