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.

    New York-listed shares in Internet heavyweight Alibaba have lost 57% of their value in the past year, while those of education businesses such as TAL Education and New Oriental Education have each plunged 89% in the past 12 months.

      The US government would move heaven and hell to preserve the stock price of mega corporations meanwhile the Chinese government will kick them while they're down and show them their place.

      As it should be, the government should have corporations on a tight leash, not the other way around.

        “In China you have a vibrant market economy, but capital does not rise above political authority, and capital does not have enshrined rights. This is unlike America, where both capital and the interests of capital have risen above the American nation itself. The political authority cannot check the power of capital, and that is why America is a capitalist nation but China is not.”
