September 14th's update is here! TLDR? Here's the summary.
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.
:Care-Comrade: to you all.
Links and Stuff
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists, for the “buh Zeleski is a jew?!?!” people.
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.
Telegram Channels
Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

i hope Iran isn't kidding around and pressures the Azeri into peace :inshallah:
So the US gonna tell Turkey to stop it with their own geopolitical ambition of funding Azerbajian? lol, how? especially with Finland + Sweden nato on the line. imo, right now the buck stop at Erdogan, no one else other than his nation is funding the Azeri. The EU also depend on Azerbajian gas right now and still struggling, so they're probably going to turn a blind eye. Other than Iran, don't think Armenia could do much, just unfortunate situation all around and again, it's never a good idea to break up your nation.

CSTO declined? I haven’t seen anything about that, all I have seen is that the Armenian PM is not triggering all of the articles quite yet but merely started the process. Where are you reading that the CSTO declined Armenia’s request?

I fail to see how that’s a decline, of course a peaceful diplomatic route should be attempted first before open war declared right? Especially as there appears to be a ceasefire holding right now.
I keep seeing contradicting accounts whether article 4 was triggered or not, the confusion seems to be due to Armenian PM

Well I hope they do if Azeris don’t immediately back down and tuck their tail between their legs. It’s been like 2 days and there’s a ceasefire, give it a bit before denouncing your alliance.
