Very slight change of plans: I'll begin the updates next Monday instead of this Friday. So this week will have no updates. Dang. So y'all better post hard enough to make up for it. But not so hard that we get past 1000 comments by the end of the week.
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.

https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.
Last week's discussion post.

Well, I guess we don't need to wait for those nuclear subs to be built for Australia to be a target now huh?
They aren't nuclear armed... yet. I'm its against a ton of treaties that Australia is part of to host nuclear weapons. Of course as soon as war happens those treaties are worthless.

Thanks I already hate it.
I prefer "King Chuck."
When armageddon starts its already over it doesn't matter if we get nuked or not there will be enough fallout to block out the sun and we will all freeze to death.

I used to play it a lot back when I was still DJing. Lowkey the best Stranglers song. You're right it could use a light remix though.

Funny how the people never get to vote on the presence of US military bases. Like I'm pretty sure if the German people could vote the kick the yanks out of Rammstein or if the Japanese people could vote on US presence in Okinawa, they'd win.
