Here is November 8th's update! TLDR? Here's the summary.

I strategically retreated from doing an update on Wednesday (and I always perform tactical update withdrawals on Thursdays and Sundays) so this next one covers a bit from those two days.

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.

Last week's discussion post.

    The U.S. is a party to a United Nations treaty, the Single Convention on Narcotic Drugs, which requires the U.S. to control marijuana in the schedule that the DEA Administrator deems most appropriate. The courts have previously held that marijuana must be scheduled in Schedule I or II to satisfy the obligations under the treaty.

    shithole country metastasizes its shitty polices around the world. what a surprise

    • kristina [she/her]45•2 years ago

      ah so now we give a shit about what the UN says, yea whatever dudes

      • MemesAreTheory [he/him, any]39•2 years ago

        The UN declares Food a human right :biden-harbinger:

        The US Prison Industrial Complex and its lobbyists UN says the war on drugs is good actually :biden-troll:

    • CheGueBeara [he/him]11•2 years ago

      schedule that the DEA Administrator deems most appropriate. The courts have previously held that marijuana must be scheduled in Schedule I or II

      lol wtf two mutually exclusive statements one after the other. Either it's the administrator's call or it's a policy with other criteria that must be followed and then courts can have a say.

      It's true that constitutionally, the U.S. is supposed to follow the treaties it signs. Interesting that when it comes to upholding reactionary bans on drugs it actually cares, but it'll handily ignore that fact when it comes to, say, maintaining concentration camps or running torture programs. Like, if the Democrats had actually wanted to impeach Trump on something the working class could get behind and form a movement around (you know, rather than committing the same crimes themselves once they got into office), they could've gone after him for that instead of just using it as a soapbox for more Russiagate nonsense and to literally escalate us into the Ukraine situation. Really makes you go "Hmm."
