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.
Oh I see what you're saying, well I guess they would be expecting Turkey to uhh... Let them through? For reasons Completely ignoring the fact that this issue was already raised earlier in the war and no excuses were found.
Turkey letting them through would mean a violation of their own treaties and would mean they essentially couldn’t exercise control over one of the most strategic waterways in the world. It also means the Russian Mediterranean fleet would just try to force the Bosporus or something in response
I guess they'd be counting on Russia's unwillingness to do that because Turkey is a member of nato?
It doesn't make much sense.
