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.

      Good source. Thank you.

      So it’s definitely that truck. Meaning 2 options: remotely controlled or suicide. I wasn’t aware of the video, but now your earlier certitude makes sense. I suppose the tech exists for remote truck bombing, but do they even have the resources?

      Full disclosure: I have no idea how hard it is to rig motors to the pedal and wheel and use it like a drone especially with the recent starlink troubles.

      Interesting thought: where does earliest surveillance of that truck begin? Could it have been as simple as a brick on the gas and cruise control with a remote detention after bailing and observing?
