    Putin doing a live speech and just did a bit on "cancel culture" in the West focusing particularly on J. K. Rowling being cancelled. I wish I was joking.

        Of course Putin does feature in the Harry Potter films which might explain his interest.https://www.theguardian.com/film/2003/jan/30/harrypotter.news …

        Sam Freedman Retweeted J.K. Rowling

        For the record Rowling has given £1 million to Ukraine and is most definitely not a fan of Putin.https://twitter.com/jk_rowling/status/1500760559003832320?t=oRUjq3fmxz__2321y9VtSg&s=19 …

        I will personally match donations to this appeal, up to £1m. Thank you so, so much to all who’ve already donated, you’re enabling @lumos to do crucial work for some of the most vulnerable children in Ukraine. https://twitter.com/lumos/status/1500757314319626244 …

        Yes it must be interesting for some home-grown culture warriors to see the fascists take the “Decline and Fall” narrative

        Sucks that he and JKR are actually pretty close allies on social issues.

        When your dad agreed to a military tactical analysis substack, I bet he didn't foresee it pivoting in this direction so soon.
