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.

Last week’s discussion post.
Megathread
Our posters are too strong and cool so I had to separate these sections out.
@aaaaaaadjsf on how South Africa’s electricity grid is coming apart at the seams.
@CoolerOpposide on how the United States is approaching 2 million covid deaths and how nobody cares.
@granit on how alliances in the western imagination must have total subservience, and so the recent concerns from China and India about Russia’s actions in Ukraine signal some impending breakup to western journalists rather than nations on equal standing expressing their thoughts on issues. And also on Eastern European inflation rates and how they’re exceeding Russia’s (with some western European countries soon to follow).
@eduardog3000 on how Azerbaijan has almost totally wiped out Armenian cultural heritage sites in Nakhichevan.
@SoyViking on Danish fascism. And also on how Denmark is a very enthusiastic bootlicker for the United States.
@keepcarrot on hypersonic missile design, which was part of a comment thread on whether you could strip the chips out of basic components or machines (such as washing machines, as Ursula von der Leyen suggested Russia was doing) to make a hypersonic missile work, which is the inspiration of this megathread’s title.
@trompete on how Habeck wants to change the law to allow Germany to export weapons to war-torn regions.
@Nomisslehere on current Mexican affairs.
@HalidBeslic with an update on Kosovo.
@bearboy talking about the situation in Armenia.
I Love My Trans Comrades!
also they’re using inmates as conscripts
Ukraine did this within the first two or three weeks of the war, remember when they were mobilizing the “militia” in Kiev and distributed guns to literaly every adult including criminals.They also forced everyone under 60 to fight.
Of course it was heroic, heartwarming and strictly necessary when they did it, though not like these fuckers would ever remember it 6 months later lol.
Chinese scientists have developed long-distance underwater communication, that would allow submarines and drones to maintain contact over more than 30,000 square kilometers, and pass sound signals over 100 km away, while still being difficult to detect.
