Hey, do the peeps here know how to get actually accurate news on the Russia-Ukraine War? All I can find is a bunch of Western cope about how Ukraine is winning.
https://maratkhairullin.substack.com/ and https://substack.com/@zinderneufog for regular updates about the situation on the ground
You, comrade, get a point for giving me a source (what you can use it for is secret).
Thnx
Military
SummitSummary channel on YouTubeIs that the right name? I see one that is similar but different (Military Summary is the name)
Sorry I’m a little overstimulated today so my mind doesn’t work the way it should. It’s Military Summary
It is ok! Thanks so much for the source :>
No problem!
The Greater Eurasia Podcast is pretty good for having lots of expert guests on to talk about it and geopolitics at large, but you do still need to remain a bit critical; Glenn Diesen has lots of different types of guests on and some of them have more to learn from than others lol. Imperfect but I still tune in regularly.
I appreciate the source (though I am not a major fan of podcasts, and yeah, I should be careful if I ever decide to see the one you recommended).
I usually check Alexander Mercouris. He’s pretty pro-russian but so is reality. He tries to be evidence based in his assessment. He is british and a liberal but still manages to be a half decent human and not half bad at reporting. But I always listen at 2x speed because he talks so bloody slow.
I appreciate the extra resource (their liberalness is unfortunate, but sources are sources).
I go with most of my news needs to aljazeera. When it’s playing on the TV in the background occasionally they usually have quite decent coverage on this.
Thanks!
