I don’t mind the occassional memes dunking on Al-Ukraina and the Imperialist West and the occassional snippets calling out western hypocrisy and showing the barbarianism Ukrainian Civilians are facing from their own military forces; but I’m not interested in hearing about your oh-so-hot-takes on LGBT issues and using it as a way to flex your “morality” to the world. I’m sick of it already.

Ben Norton’s site. You want people who approach this from an anti-NATO perspective. People who know their history and want to dismantle monetary imperialism.
The way I look at it, Russia got cornered into doing something based. We wouldn’t roll our eyes during WWII and scold people for saying Hitler is bad, because France etc is imperialist. DPR & LPR are fighting for national liberation.
Danny Haiphong seems to interview everyone mentioned in this thread lately. He’s had Carl Zha & the New Atlas guy on, two of my other faves.
I assume that website spelling is wrong. Geopolitical Economy also has a YouTube channel, and the content by Ben Norton, Radhika Desai and others is pretty good even if not short timed.
oh yea sorry i was baked
based anti-imperialist highposting
Bro decided to cook his head today 💀
The New Atlas, by far, he presents a lot of cited material plus military analysis. On ground footage, Patrick Lancaster.

Donbas Devushka is also transphobic. She purposefully mis-gendered a few trans US military personnel.
Sorry I didn’t know, should I remove the links?
Since OP said:

I’d say DD is not worth following. At best she’s doing the perfectly Liberal thing where it’s okay to be racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic to someone who is “evil”. Liberals are unequipped to uphold anti-racism, anti-sexism, anti-homophobia, and anti-transphobia because all of these hateful ideologies are expressed through Liberalism and protected by it.
MFs like DD need Marxism
Yeah, fuck 'em.
Sorry the edit took awhile I had to sleep. In the podcast episodes I listened to it just never came up.
You’re good 👍
Yeah Telegram has a lot of social reaction unfortunately
The RWApodcast and their twitter - They’re right wing and anti-USSR but they usually keep on topic instead of stoking a culture war.
context
>me waiting for when it finally devolves to social reactionary nonsense, it's a right wing podcast/twitter, it's bound to happenAnyway, thank you for the links!
damn their videos are very long
Unless it’s Telegram, it’s practically impossible on he internet
Goddammit…
This is what I use. It’s a great place to speak with actual Russians and natives of the post-soviet space and in their own social space. Here in the west, one is expected to conform to western social practices, this is not so on Telegram. It is as speaking over the phone with someone in a different environment from yourself and all of the implications which follow. I’ve learned a lot about other countries, their peoples, and their history from using Telegram and speaking with the horse’s mouth.
Slavyangrad telegram channel seems to be a bit better on that front but don’t read the comments on posts.
I (likely) won’t be making a telegram account anytime soon, so, I won’t be able to read the comments anyway. Anyway, thank you for the link!

It doesn’t really change after the war. Outside of what David M. Glantz wrote, there’s a reason why most English language books on the Eastern Front/Great Patriotic War are based solely on German sources.
It will be a long long time before the documents from both sides become available for analysis like Tank-Artchive’s cross-examination, which is looks at the same battle from both sides to prove or disprove claims, to be made.
Even today most of what written on the Iraq war is just blatant up US propaganda. It’s almost like they’re actively avoiding using neutral language or attempting to sound objective. No fact is framed in a way that doesn’t attempt to manipulate the reader’s opinion. If it even uses Iraqi sources it’s going to be someone explicitly chosen to be an anti-Saddam Sunni, no Baathis, nor Pro-Iran Shias.
I prefer to just read books by people the who were directly involved in the war and primary documents. A collection of interviews like the works of Artem Drabkin or a memoir like “Tiger’s in the Mud”, “Singapore: the Japanese Version”.
I suppose you could also listen from both sides, mix them together and come up with your own conclusion from the mixture. I’ve seen someone on the 'net suggest it once.
Breakthrough News and Liberation News are great sources
