Resources For Understanding The War Beyond The Bulletins


Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map, who is an independent youtuber with a mostly neutral viewpoint.

Moon of Alabama, which tends to have good analysis (though also a couple bad takes here and there)

Understanding War and the Saker: neo-conservative sources but their reporting of the war (so far) seems to line up with reality better than most liberal sources.

Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict and, unlike most western analysts, has some degree of understanding on how war works. He is a reactionary, however.

On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent journalist reporting in the Ukrainian warzones.

Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.


Telegram Channels

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

    Remember when the media in 2019-2020 said that things were looking up and the 2020s would be the second “roaring 20s?” It is so funny to me how unaware yet humorously prophetic western media is. They predict that history will repeat, but only Good Historical Thing will come back

      As we all know, Hitler came to power in 1939 upon casting a mind control spell over Germany's population that made all the soldiers victims of the Nazi party, not oppressors and mass murderers, and then went to war with the Allied powers after Hitler and Stalin sat in a room together and shouted "To evil!" in agreement, prompting the pact.

      There was no history building up to this at all and any attempts to explain this in terms of material conditions or to even imply that maybe liberals and capitalism had a hand in creating Nazi Germany are wrong and misguided. Therefore, there aren't any lessons to learn from the 1920s and 1930s! Let's party like it's 1929!
