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.
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.
The Polish, Finnish and Bulgarian grandstanding is hilarious. They are still gonna use Russian gas, now they have to import it backwards through a middle man. They get the same end product for higher prices and complexity, Russians benefit even further from higher energy prices from the artificial scarcity & European gas lines get clogged up with gas going back and forth for no reason
Rational and efficient system
You got a source though? That’s very interesting if they are just siphoning gas they didn’t pay for… someone at the end of the pipeline is going to end up getting no gas that they have paid for. This is a game of musical chairs, Poland volunteered to remove their chair while the music was playing and now they are trying to hog Germany’s when the music stops
