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.

The equivalent of sending your ex a blank text in an effort to get them to talk to you
The megathread is dead! Long live the megathread!
Today’s U.N. General Assembly;
The Based:
WANG YI, Minister for Foreign Affairs of (PR) China, underscoring that peace is crucial for the future of the international community, emphasized that “turbulence and war can only open Pandora’s box, and he who instigates a proxy war can easily get himself burned”
Noting that protectionism can only “boomerang” with decoupling and supply‑chain disruptions that hurt everyone, he called on the international community to uphold the World Trade Organization (WTO)-centred multilateral system.
Noting that the world needs to embrace diverse civilizations, he emphasized that democracy and human rights should not be used as tools or weapons to achieve political ends. He further stressed that no country should abuse its power to bully other sovereign countries.
As the world’s largest developing country, China will continue to stand with all developing States, who are no longer the silent majority in international and multilateral processes.
On the COVID-19 pandemic, he highlighted that his country has provided over 2.2 billion doses of vaccines to more than 120 countries and international organizations. Referring to the country’s Belt and Road Initiative, he spotlighted that it has already signed cooperation documents with 149 countries and 32 international organizations.
Turning to the war in Ukraine, he expressed support for all efforts conducive to its peaceful resolution. He therefore called all parties to keep the crisis from “spilling over” and protect the legitimate rights and interests of developing countries.
Noting that a few countries have arbitrarily imposed unilateral sanctions, cut off development aid and frozen lawful assets of other countries, he particularly expressed support for Cuba in its struggle to defend its sovereignty and oppose external interference.
Turning to Taiwan, which has been an “inseparable part of China’s territory since ancient times”, he stressed that its “One China” policy has become a basic norm of the international relations and a consensus of the international community.
His country would continue to work for the peaceful reunification with sincerity, he said, adding that, to realize this goal it must combat separatist activities with the firmest resolve and take the most forceful steps to oppose external interference. “Any move to obstruct China’s reunification is bound to be crushed by the wheels of history,” he said.
:xigma-male:
PHAM BINH MINH, Deputy Prime Minister of Viet Nam, pointed out that global military spending surged to $2.1 trillion while the international community failed to raise $100 billion tackling climate actions, threats to global security and poverty exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic.
On a national level, he affirmed that cooperation was indispensable during the Doi Moi renovation, resulting in Viet Nam being on track to become a developed, high-income country by 2045.
He expressed solidarity with Cuba and called for the immediate lifting of the unilateral embargoes. International law must be respected as it is the only way to maintain the sovereign integrity of States and resolve disputes peacefully.
Calling for a cessation of hostilities in Ukraine, he offered his country’s support towards diplomatic efforts and the country’s reconstruction.
Vietnam emoji when? :soviet-pout:
The Minister of Foreign Affairs of Belarusia, Vladimir Makei highlights that the West has heard about proposals to preserve peace in the world.
“Today, a paradigmatic change has taken place as it happened 500 years ago (about the search for a multipolar world)”
“The West seeks to destroy and self-destruct with its unipolar policies.”
“It is time for Western countries to come to their senses, Belarus will always be ready for dialogue.”
“We are convinced that a ceasefire in Ukraine can only be achieved at the negotiating table.”
:lukashenko-tired:
Minister of People’s Power for Foreign Relations of Venezuela, Carlos Rafael Faría Tortosa, highlights that the peoples of the world must know the peoples of the world that all the manuals have been applied to Venezuela to destabilize its democracy.
Carlos Rafael Faría Tortosa, highlight that more than 900 sanctions weigh on Venezuela and that they make it impossible to buy medical supplies, medicine and food
He adds that the illegal sanctions that weigh on the country have not achieved their objective.
He also adds that there is no talk about the repatriation mechanisms that have been implemented for the millions of Venezuelan migrants who have decided to return to the country.
Carlos Rafael Faría Tortosa, alerts the peoples of the world to the resurgence of xenophobia and aporophobia.
:maduro-salute:
The Prime Minister of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Ralph Gonsalves, assured that geopolitical conflicts can be resolved with quality global leadership.
This guy seems to be very cool, he also abolished the monarchy. BTW His @ in twitter is @ComradeRalph :07:
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov: “NATO Has Declared Our Country An Immediate Threat And The West Also Threatens Other Countries.”
“We Ask Everyone To Join The Initiative Against Unilateralism… They Must Have The Possibility To Be With One Or The Other, That Is Democracy.”
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov: “I Am Convinced That We Must Protect The UN And Avoid Confrontation… Restore This Organization’s Reputation!”
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov mentions Russia’s concern about the situation of some African nations and asks for support.
Sergey Lavrov: “USA seeks confrontation between blocs. ‘Are you with us or against us’. They want to extend NATO to the East, to the borders of Russia. They want to subjugate Asia as well. They play with fire in Taiwan.”
“It is clear that the Monroe Doctrine is once again global. Washington tries to turn the whole world into its own back duck and to do so they use sanctions as a tool of political blackmail. We have him in the blockade of Cuba for 60 years!"
:putin-wink:
The Holy See (Vatican) also called for peace and solutions to ecological problems.
Mozambique talked about COVID-19, their peace process with the right-wing reactionary guerrilla RENAMO and their fight against terrorism.
The Cringe:
EDI RAMA, Prime Minister of Albania, stressed that the international community’s hopes and beliefs were shattered and its assurances broken by an unprovoked, unjustified and premeditated war in Ukraine.
It is an open battle between an aging cynical tyranny and a young growing democracy,” he stressed.
Shying away from this battle between the principles — sovereignty, territorial integrity, freedom and the right to decide on the future independently — and principles contrary to those, is shying away from the duty to “protect ourselves, our countries, our children”.
Condemning the sham referenda recently conducted in some parts of the occupied Ukrainian territory, he called for and expressed support towards adopting a convention on the prevention and punishment of crimes against humanity.
He recalled that his country had become the target of an unprovoked cyberattack in July, which turned out to be a State-sponsored aggression, orchestrated and carried out by Iran. Adding that Albania was left with no other choice but to sever its diplomatic relations with that country.
Highlighting an example of a report adopted by the Parliamentary Assembly of the Council of Europe in 2011, which accused the “Kosovo freedom fighters of the despicable crime of organ trafficking”, he expressed hope that based on the accusation’s lack of evidence, Parliamentary Assembly will honour the truth and accept his country’s request to produce a follow-up report on this issue.
Meanwhile, he reiterated his country’s support of the need for every country, including Serbia, to recognize the Republic of Kosovo. The two sides should work towards a comprehensive peace agreement “by doing their part to adopt a European Union-United States-backed breakthrough,” he added.
:albania: :deeper-sadness:
Ecuador’s president, Guillermo Lasso, dismissed police commanders and two Army generals amid the commotion over the murder of lawyer María Belén Bernal, who was last seen alive after she entered the Police High School.
