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.
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.
Literally every article and news report for weeks is just "Putin is (might be) going to do this insane thing. No we don't have any sources". What's next, shark tanks, death rays, blowing up the moon to rain it down on Kiev?
Sharks with frikken laserbeams on their heads!

Its a false premise.
The Ukranian army vastly increased artillery shelling on the breakaway republics the longer Russia refused to invade.
Literally increasing exponentially day by day. Predicting invasion while doing everything to provoke it and escalating isn't anything impressive.
I would say at this point it's fairly obvious the news was clued in that Ukraine fully intended to escalate attacks on civilians until Russia felt the need to intervene.
They were also off by like 4 years, then 3 years, then 2 years, then 1 year....
Putin enters goblin mode for the fifth consecutive week in a row.
