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.

    America’s New QUICKSINK Bomb Targets China’s Vast Low-Tech Navy

    Literally strapping "inexpensive" laser guide systems to "inexpensive" jdams so that some kind of "inexpensive" weapons deploying platform can sink the big beautiful Chinese boaters.

    Also side note, why is the fucking U.S coastguard in the Pacific ocean near China, instead of I don't know... GUARDING THE FUCKING COAST OF AMERICA

        The great thing about this is that China, as far as I know, hasn't made any military threats of any kind towards America. The only thing they're doing is winning at market economics, and that alone is enough to declare world war III.

      You've got to hand it to the yanquis, quicksink is a really good name for an anti-ship weapon.

        Sounds like a name of a product being sold on one of the late night infomercials

          Is it not? The Pentagon gets all kinds of glossy magazines and big budget presentations from the MIC.

        It feels wrong that it's spelled correctly, my brain expects it to be something like
