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.

      When literally anyone ever goes to jail in China, DPRK, Russia etc: "Evil dictatorships ruled by people worse than Hitler! These people are brave and heroic whistleblowers yearning for freedom and democracy!1!!!1" :wojak-nooo:

      Ukraine persecutes critics on charges of "treason" for writing on a blog and making YT videos: "This is what democracy looks like, Zelensky is a hero and they share our values, we must stand up to Putler's unprovoked war, these people are nothing but terrorists and deserve to be punished11!!1!!." :so-true:

      Idk what to say that's fucking horrible. Spain has to know they're going to kill him, right?

        • Huldra [they/them, it/its]14•2 years ago

          They basically all but openly assassinated one of their own negotiators accused of treason, and there are other journalists that have received beatings and abuse while arrested.

          Plus the UN itself has documented torture and beatings during the whole civil war from the SBU, whatever is going to happen to him it wont be nice.

    • SoyViking [he/him]30•2 years ago

      Ukrainian opposition activists are safer fleeing to Russia than to the EU.

    • jackal [he/him]27•2 years ago

      Hilarious in a dark way that they granted him asylum when he criticized Yanukovich and rescinded it when it was about someone liked by GoodCountries.
