Here is June 30th's update! TLDR? Here's the summary.
I won't be able to write an update for today and tomorrow (as well as Sunday, my day off) due to work and travel - and honestly, due to overexposure to the words "international rules-based order" and "wage-price inflationary spiral" and "insignificant advances", I probably need a little time to unmelt my brain. I'll post some articles - good or bad - where I have an internet connection.
Links and Stuff
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.

SERVICE GUARANTEES CITIZENSHIP

A means-tested draft would be peak liberalism. Maintaining the fiction of free choice and equality before the law while supplying a steady stream of human blood to fuel the empire and guaranteeing that rich kids won't have to provide a single drop.
Hate to break the bad news here but that would only be sort of returning to the norm, many other countries already have mandatory military service at the age of 18 e.g Shit Korea.
Good point, still disturbing
Service guarantees citizenship, lmao
go ahead and draft me, I'll frag every officer I can. Don't fuckin try me brandon :xi-gun:
