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.

    Zelenzky made a 15 minute propaganda video , saying, among other things, that the Russians are the real nazis.

    Did he always talk like a 90's action movie star or is that a recent development?

      I really dislike how liberal propaganda focuses on property damage as if it's an indicator of human lives lost.

      A destroyed building tells us nothing. People used to live there sure, but what was in it when it was hit? This is what matters. If your Azov goons were in it when it got hit I absolutely do not give a fuck.

      was just about to post this.

      We will overcome everything. We know this for sure, because our military and all our people are descendants of those who overcame Nazism. So we will win again. And there will be peace again. Finally again!

      weird to see this new anti-fascist heel turn

        Well whichever sides tearing down references to the Victory of the Soviet peoples over fascism definitely should be opposed so I agree with him on the institutionalization of anti-fascism.

          The problem is that if nazis control education they will ""educate"" people that fascism is when ebil-authoritarian-communists.

          The liberals in the west are already doing this with the online ""anarchists"" at this very moment. There is a concerted effort to turn the definition of fascism into "authoritarian states" and turn those that would become radical leftists into anti-authoritarians that can then be rediverted towards opposing those that want to overthrow the state. This neatly ties into a ribbon when you label all your enemies as not-democracy and evil authoritarianism.

          The left needs to engage in a concerted effort to educate people on what fascism actually is.

        This is some next level double speak. If you have even a slight grasp of UA's current Nazi situation the whole thing sounds backwards. It sounds like Zelenskyy is calling for the Russians to liberate Ukraine from the Nazis that took over in 2014.

      really is bizarre to see a man talk so much about hating nazis but with the other side of his face also disparages the people that defeated them, the communists
