Israel-Palestine Conflict

If you have evidence of Israeli crimes and atrocities that you wish to preserve, there is a thread here in which to do so.

Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:

UNRWA daily-ish reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.

English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news (and has automated posting when the person running it goes to sleep).
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.

English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
More telegram channels here for those interested.

Various sources that are covering the Ukraine conflict are also covering the one in Palestine, like Rybar.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Sources:

Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful. Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.

Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.

Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.
https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.

https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.
https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.
https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.

Pro-Ukraine Telegram Channels:

Almost every Western media outlet.
https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.
https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.

Reuters: Exclusive: Russia restoring oil refining capacity knocked out by drones

Russia has been able to swiftly repair some of key oil refineries hit by Ukrainian drones, reducing capacity idled by the attacks to about 10% from almost 14% at the end of March, Reuters calculations showed.

Fun fact: Soviet-era refineries were specifically built to withstand damage from bombing. ussr-cry

Russia is repairing its refineries fast, despite difficulties in obtaining Western know-how.

Incredible! Despite their Asiatic brainpans!

I don't have any numbers on this, but aren't most of russia's refineries from the soviet union? Why would one need western know-how for things that were build by workers (even though capitalists are at the helm now)?

[-] thethirdgracchi@hexbear.net 53 points 7 months ago

Russians can't build anything, any semi-permanent structure still standing in Russia was built by a primordial race of Westerners that existed before the principality of Rus'. The Soviets simply used those buildings, but could only repair them thanks to the Lend-Lease program made by the Americans which granted them divine insight into how such structures worked. Since the severing of that divine light post-2014 Russia has fallen into a new dark age where everything metal turns to rust.

Thank you, I forgot to consider that they are asiatic hordes. Shame on me obama-sad

somehow, Russia found out about welding

Soviet-era refineries were specifically built to withstand damage from bombing

Is there a source?

[-] companero@hexbear.net 8 points 7 months ago

Russian refineries were built to provide protection against catastrophic damage. The plants were mostly designed according to Soviet construction codes that require them to be spread out across up to 60 process units, according to JPMorgan Chase strategist Natasha Kaneva. This builds in resilience against traditional air bombing.

I tried so hard to find the original report but it seems like it's only made available for their "clients" :(

Not like it would go more in-depth into it, but still. Process engineering is a cool field but to the typical "clients" of a financial capital firm it probably suffices them to hear that "process engineering was a thing in the USSR".
