Here is today's update!

Apologies, this one is smaller than usual, as I'm gonna be very busy over the next few days. It's the same amount of headlines, just not as much quoted from them.

Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Add to the above list if you can, thank you.


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.

      There's always more weapons to send. And Germany and France make a lot of their own. The problem is training. ex-Warsaw pact countries have been sending their Soviet-era military equipment in exchange for US/NATO equipment. It's good WW2-style business for the US. That's running out yeah, the Soviet stuff. But the UK, the US and who knows who else, are training Ukrainian forces to use NATO equipment now. Imo this is not going to be effective at all because even if you are an ace at using whatever howitzer you got, without a proper supply chain of spare parts and maintenance that stuff will become useless very fast. But, again, it's good business.
