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.
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.
Yesterday's discussion post.
Breadtubers still making videos about how people like Hasan won't tow the NATO line on Ukraine. Defending "moderate nationalists" in Ukraine, etc. etc. Breadtube video essays really did just become political slop for westoid treat hogs to pretend they're in the know and good people.
:isaac-pog: WE'VE RETURNED TO THE "MODERATE REBELS" TALKING POINT!
I forgot about that. What ever happened to those good old moderate rebels? Oh, they were isis? Whoops.
Cap'n Brace's "Oops! All
ISISCIA" Syrian Civil War Cereal.C'mon guys this isn't vaguebook, I don't know who you're talking about I want to see the bad takes

Some of the comments are indistinguishable from Peterson fans
Peterson is just one brand of pop-intellectual, but they're all in roughly the same business; convincing low information viewers that they have special or important knowledge and you can find out more by liking and subscribing and buying my book!
lmao I'm stealing that
Still impressed Hasan has kept his stance, despite Vaush and Destiny fans obsessively hating him over it.
Even when I was still a Contrapoints-watching liberal the whole "breadtube" community was just off to me.
moderate nationalist, much like moderate republicans, and moderate return on investment.
Western leftists talk a big game but can't even form the most basic analysis on things like Ukraine.
Any revolution these guys did (lol) would be a changing of the guard for the US empire except its citizens might get free healthcare.
