Here is November 8th's update! TLDR? Here's the summary.

I strategically retreated from doing an update on Wednesday (and I always perform tactical update withdrawals on Thursdays and Sundays) so this next one covers a bit from those two days.

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.

    Don't project your own problems onto me. I am certainly not sitting on my hands waiting for pure revolution, but neither am I willing to die for a muddy stretch of land. I think you have some serious unaddressed issues if your life has no meaning outside of death. Sorry for being harsh.

        I'm sorry I implied bad faith in what you were saying, but saying that I wave 'hot takes from Twitter' is asinine garbage. I will take back the 'muddy stretch of land' bit though, I agree that was a step too far.

        What I am saying is that his death was meaningless and not something to be celebrated, even if he did die well. We should have celebrated and acknowledged his life and work while he was still alive, not after he was killed. Russia is a capitalist nation run by oligarchs, no amount of third world flag waving will change that. They provide a counterpoint to American hegemony, which is good, but not so good that it is worth insulting the work of other comrades in other areas who are also organizing and doing work.
