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.
trying to educate libs about the origins of the phrase Slava Ukraini, they get defensive and start talking about Russian disinformation.
"Well it's widely used for general support of Ukrainians , I'd think only a minority uses it to commemorate Banderas".
well, how can we tell the difference?
Libs freaked out when Trump maybe stuck his arm out at an angle for like a second by accident but do the "it's actually a Hindu symbol" for literal Banderite Nazis.
I don't agree that anything a fascist does or enjoys is not allowed to be done by normal people, but when it literally has its roots in fascist groups who aided the Nazis then maybe you shouldn't attempt to "reclaim" it because there's nothing to reclaim.
