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 want to sympathize with the protestors in Iran but Reddit has already started to act as though the exiled shah will lead the next regime.

    Ukraine claims genocide in Izyum and then denies Amnesty International an entry to independently verify these claims.

    Sometimes I wish China would do a little trolling and demand unrestrained access to US territories so they can investigate suspected crimes against humanity.

    In light of what looks like a colour revolution in Iran and the Russian troop mobilisation, the r/completeanarchy subreddit on :reddit-logo: has decided to go unironically post left. Like having post left "theory" pinned to the top of the subreddit.

    Biggest bunch of :fedposting::cia: losers you've ever seen, I remember when they supported the Bolivian colour revolution.

    If Iran got rid of the mandatory Hijab, I genuinely wonder how many westerners would stop caring about regime change in Iran?

    Edit: Also yeah ACAB applies to Iran's morality police as well

    Speech is cancelled permanently, CPRF coup'd Putin like they should have done Gorbachev, Russia is now a Soviet Socialist Republic again, the RSSR has formed a new international union with China, Cuba, Laos, Viet Nam, and the DPRK, the US stock market has collapsed under the news and Bernie is running again to rule over the ashes.

    A few years ago the german Green Party was saying people who wave the german flag during football games are right wing nationalists.

    Now they are among the most nationalist party we have, gleefully dealing out collective punishment towards Russians, accusing anyone who strays from NATO doctrine of being a Putin puppet and saying people who heat their homes too much this winter are traitors complicit in Putins ‘genocide’.

    I don’t have a point here I just think it’s fascinating. Can’t think of a better example of the ‘scratch a liberal’ thing. They’re one successful Russian offensive away from calling for an new Operation Barbarossa.

    Yesterday at the U.N. General Assembly;

    Biden's Cuba policy is the same as that set by Donald Trump, says Cuba's Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez at the UN General Assembly.

    Cuba's Foreign Minister thanks the global solidarity movements for their work fighting against the US blockade.

    Dominica calls on the U.S. to lift its "archaic" blockade on Cuba

    "..whatever the objectives were 60 years ago when this embargo was instituted, it can no longer be justified, if it ever was."

    Cuba rejects sanctions and attacks on the sovereignty of both China and Russia, says Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez

    Dominica calls for the removal of Cuba from the list of countries that sponsor terrorism and cites Cuba's technical assistance, its South-South cooperation, and its training of medical doctors, nurses, engineers and other professionals from all over the developing world.

    Dominica calls "for the immediate lifting of the unjustified oil embargo and other general sanctions imposed on the people of Venezuela."

    Cuba will continue to build a socialist society despite the external attacks, says Foreign Minister Bruno Rodríguez.

    U.S. and NATO aggression is pushing the world towards conflict with unpredictable consequences, warns Cuban Foreign Minister.

    Alright Europe and America, I expect that you've left a ton of things unsanctioned and you didn't just blow everything all at once really early on so that you have no pressure to exert against Russia now, right? I expect that you've prepared a really impactful sanctions package that will make Putler rethink this mobilization, right?

    Was wondering what the deal was with the blatant clickbait propaganda articles from Newsweek on :reddit-logo: , so I did a little research.

    Apparently Newsweek and International Business Times were involved with some secretive Christian cult called "the Community" that did money laundering and brought people from China to work as slaves churning out clickbait articles.

    This is some Falun Gong Epoch Times shit. Gotta wonder if the CIA is involved.
