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.
So a crank coworker of mine is convinced that whatever Treaty that's in the works right now to be signed under the banner of the UN to give the WHO unilateral power to declare pandemics and shit is a deep state conspiracy under Obungler and his puppet O'Brandon to declare gun violence and white supremacy a pandemic and to "treat" them with the same government overreaching zeal we saw with the covid lock downs.
oh so the government will ask them to stop and then transition into hiding the actual statistics to prevent the public from realizing it's a problem
Yes I had to grimace to conceal the shit-eating grin I had on my face.
Imagine if white supremacy over minorities was initially handled by ""government overreach"" once the problem had fully manifested itself and needed to be dealt with to ensure the survival of the country, but was not actually eradicated, and then over time, white superiority was slowly normalized and people became increasingly accustomed to it until it because an invisible miasma that many people don't even think really exists anymore and yet still threatens to pull the society into disorder? What a wacky reality that would be!
I mean that'd be cool but no.
