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.
Yesterday's discussion post.
I love this. Westoid media pretended that NATO expansion into Sweden and Finland was just a question of them deciding it. They think NATO is essentially a local little league team that you can just join.
We were also told that NATO was sticking it to Putin by being as united as ever.
And then it happens, those nice friendly Nordics decides to join. And then they are told no. And to add insult to injury, the countries saying no are countries who are far down the whiteness scale compared to Sweden and Finland.
NATO is not rising to the challenge in a united defense of liberal democracy. They're squabbling over petty bullshit and making demands that stands in stark contrast to the lofty ideals the west claims to stand for.
I was telling some Finns that they shouldn't expect the West to save them.
How'd you like a little forced austerity with that nuclear-laden military base that's also swarming with heavily armed and propagandically stupid yanks, bro? So much for Nordic social democracy. Ha ha ha.
