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.

    Pretty funny that the narrative has shifted away from "Russia is gonna lose and we should keep funding Ukraine to speed this along" to "Russia is gonna lose and we need to make sure Putin doesn't feel threatened by this loss and nuke the world" while Russia continues to advance and take territory from badly beaten Ukrainian forces and is actively annexing Ukrainian territory into Russia.

    Not sure if it's a way to shift a narrative to make it seem like these territorial acquisitions are actually The Plan to Not Piss Off Putin, or as a way to be like "Russia is losing, AND" to make the point of contention with the mainstream narrative NOT whether Russia is winning or losing (they OBVIOUSLY are), but instead the established arena of allowed thought (the Overton Window, I guess) is now what we should do with this losing Russia. Or, maybe both?
