I’m Gerry and I love mandering
I’d agree with this. We’re not exactly coming down with non-western, non-liberal or non-conservative press written in English. I mean, there are left leaning news organisations like the morning star in England or wsws.org but they’re tiny in comparison with the multitude of big multi billion news agencies , so the best thing to do is apply a bit of common sense to the deluge of biased reporting out there
To be honest I first looked into Lemmy when my reddit app stopped working. I wasn’t about to download their shitshow of an official app.
To be honest I just signed up to lemm.ee because it was easy, before I even discovered lemmygrad was a thing.
Any reason I should switch? I’d prefer to stick with lemm.ee because I’ve already got an account
I just try to read as diverse a range of things as I can. There’s so much propaganda around this particular war that I feel like I have to read everything to get even a rough estimate of the truth.
When it comes to battlefield updates I honestly just look on YouTube. There are various YouTube channels taking the latest videos from official military channels and telegram groups, putting them together and putting their own slant or analysis on them. Military summary if you’ve heard of it puts out like two videos per day, but the host in my opinion is prone to dramatic leaps and outlandish analysis.
I wish I had a better answer
The “ethnic Russians” in Belgorod were 100% Nazi BTW. I’m sure you know that already, but I bring it up every single time that whole situation is mentioned.
I’m just some guy, not any kind of military expert, and I get my news from all over the place so please don’t treat any of what I’m saying as anything other than some guy on the internet talking shit.
For your first question, the cluster munitions seem to be allowing Ukraine to continue its counteroffensive because it and the west as a whole has largely run out of regular artillery ammunition. There was a video a while back where Biden answered a reporter’s question about why the us was sending cluster bombs, and biden just said point blank ‘we’ve run out of ammunition’. So as far as I can tell it’s not any kind of game changing weapon, but it does allow Ukraine to continue attacking the Russian defensive lines. From what I can tell, and I try to stay at least moderately up to date with what’s happening in the actual war itself, Ukraine’s counteroffensive has so far been a total failure. They’ve captured a negligible amount of territory and suffered heavy losses of both human beings and military equipment.
For your second question about the Wagners, I’ve no idea about the passport stuff but my best guesses as to what they’re doing in Belarus are as follows: They’re there as a potential counterweight to any polish or other non-Ukrainian Nato forces that might enter the battlefield; They’re there to threaten Ukrainian forces with the possibility that another front might be opened in the war from the north; They’re there to actually open another front in the war from the north; all of the above.
For your third question, I expect Russia to just keep doing what they’ve been doing.
And for your final question, my best guess is that this is going to continue for several years
Haven’t read it either, I was just pointing out the term wasn’t coined by the author of the article
The term technofeudalism originates with the Marxist economist Yanis Varoufakis.
He contends that capitalism is in the process of being usurped by a new system, which he calls techno feudalism
Is this satire? I can never tell anymore
