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.

Telegram Channels

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

      What part of revolutionary defeatism and avoiding imperialist intrigue are you having trouble with?

        I'm not a yank.

        But revolutionary defeatism doesn't mean opposing good movements on the other side, even if they weaken your state's enemies.

        During WW1, Lenin didn't oppose the German or Russian communist movements, despite living in Germany, coming from Russia, and both nations being on opposite sides of the war, and both movements aiming to overthrow their governments through civil war.

        Hoping Iranian movements fail for the sake of promoting revolutionary conditions wherever you are is profoundly selfish.

          Good movements

          This is Daesh. Israeli and Saudi backed fascists are here too.

          Do “good movements” raise the flag of Turkish fascists? I’m guessing you weren’t around for the start of the Syrian civil war or the overthrow of Gaddafi. Radlibs like you said they were “good movements” too. All jihadists, tankies are always right

              The western left is infested with social fascist that support color revolutions and jihadists and fascists abroad

                If you don't support the pigs who arrested a woman for wearing a hijab too loosely you're supporting jihadists and fascists!

                  You supported the protests against Assad and Gaddafi too (they aren’t communist either after all). Don’t even bother denying it, you were on chapotraphouse calling people tankies and assadists and you have learned nothing

                    Happily, I've never had a reddit account.

                    That this is triggering your "this is just like what happened on reddit back in 2011!" memories is definitely a massive :blob-stop: sign this isn't going anywhere good.

                    I think we probably both need to spend less time getting into internet shitfights with strangers on the internet about politics in places neither of us live.

                    I hope you enjoy the rest of your day.
