Add to the above list if you can, thank you.
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.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent journalist reporting in the Ukrainian warzones.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Yesterday's discussion post.
It's funny how it's been really easy to talk to just a local guy who isn't really that online about all this stuff. I'm mean he's still pro-US by default but even he was admitting that it's our fault if we sent all out industry to China and how the situation in Ukraine started at least as early as 2014. Can't talk to Twitter-brained libs about this stuff even though on the whole we probably agree on more things.
I’ve noticed since 2016 there’s been a growing void between the left and the libs that now seems irreconcilable. Normies and apolitical people you can talk to about leftist or socialist ideas if you use the right language, Liberals have their defenses up on their left flank

When the propaganda is so dense and constant people who don't follow the news are actually better informed a lot of the time.
