No updates on Thursdays.

September 16th's mini-update is here, because western journalists are bad at their jobs. Here's the in-thread comment.

Today and tomorrow I'm gonna be doing some prep as I'm moving in a few weeks. The updates will continue as planned on Monday.

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.

Telegram Channels

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

Last week's discussion post.

    Russia is now at war with Azerbaijan pretty much. Armenia is invoking the security clause.

    Turkey and Russian relations will go to hell if a ceasefire isn’t immediate

    • Cunigulus [they/them]19•2 years ago

      Turkey has basically been the primary conduit for circumventing sanctions for Russia, imports from Turkey shot up double-digit percentages after sanctions. Is Aliyev doing this with Turkey's approval? Can Russia afford to piss off Turkey?

      • A_Serbian_Milf [they/them]27•2 years ago

        Don’t forget Syria. Turkey was just starting to negotiate with Assad due to Russian nudging, and have been pressuring Erdogan to drop his support for the “Syrian opposition” jihadis, which he has been doing.

        So Turkey has a lot of leverage here against Russia. They can join in on European sanctions & they can escalate Syria again (which would be a 3rd active front for Russia if you count Ukraine and Armenia).

        This is why you don’t trust Erdogan!!!

        • anoncpc [comrade/them]19•2 years ago

          How the fuck Turkey fund all those geopolitical ambition of arming all of those insurgent, build up military with a shitty economy of 80% inflation that they have combine with lira depreceating. Like, aren’t they going to go bankrupt

        • Cunigulus [they/them]17•2 years ago

          If China wanted to flex its muscle with a foreign deployment, standing up for Armenia would be a damn good option. They'd need Russian cooperation, but they've got the resources to pull it off.

          • A_Serbian_Milf [they/them]21•2 years ago

            We would all love to see it. Xi please.

            Logistically sounds like a challenge though, not sure if PLA is built for rapid long range land deployment on the other side of the continent. Like they don’t often invade far away lands so they don’t have the planes and airlifts and all that like the imperialists

            • anoncpc [comrade/them]12•2 years ago

              China just need to flood them with weapons. That’s all they need to do.
