Ryan Routh posted
a long, rambling, self-published book on Amazon called Ukraine’s Unwinnable
War.

I’ve been flipping through it today. In it, Routh talks
of feeling disrespected by Ukrainians and about the struggles he had in contributing in any meaningful way to
the war effort during his five months in the country.

But he also
digresses and touches on a number of other flashpoints around the globe.

One passage
has caught the attention of many journalists. In a section directed at Iranian
authorities, he apologises for supporting Donald Trump and writes: “You are free
to assassinate Trump as well as me for that error in judgement and the
dismantling of the (Iran) deal”.

Elsewhere
in the book are many extremely graphic pictures of dead bodies, victims of war and gore.

The 291-page
document was put online in February of last year.
