Bulletins and News Discussion from October 7th to October 13th, 2024 - Happy International Paragliding Day!
One year on. Hundreds of thousands are dying or dead, millions are displaced, the Middle East is undergoing its greatest changes in a generation, Iran has directly attacked Israel twice in one year, and Yemen has proven that the US Navy ain't worth shit. We are the closest we have been to nuclear war (discounting accidents) in decades, but also the fall of Israel.
Because one day, the prisoners of a concentration camp paraglided over a wall.

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.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
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/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.
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/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.
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.

Official Hezbollah Telegram Statement issued by the Islamic Resistance Operations Room regarding the operation yesterday against the Golani brigade facility in Haifa:
We had previously warned that the "Israeli" enemy's aggression against our honorable people in all parts of resilient Lebanon would make Haifa and other areas, with respect to the resistance's missiles and drones, akin to Kiryat Shmona, Metula, and other settlements on the border with Lebanon. We accompanied this warning with information from our drones, the "Hudhud," regarding "sensitive" "Israeli" military targets and "vital" "Israeli" facilities in occupied Palestine, especially in the occupied city of Haifa. We made it clear to this enemy that the Islamic Resistance sees and hears where it least expects.
The "Israeli" enemy gambled that the Islamic Resistance would not be able to carry out its threat after the despicable security operations and assassinations of its noble leaders, foremost among them our highest and holiest martyr, His Eminence the Secretary-General Sayyid Hassan Nasrallah (may his noble secret be sanctified). The enemy did not heed our warnings and continued its aggression against our honorable people, committing heinous massacres against women and children, especially in Beirut and the southern suburbs.
After everything that transpired, the decision of the Islamic Resistance leadership was to discipline this enemy and show some of what it is capable of at any time and in any place it chooses, covertly or overtly. The target was one of the camps of the elite "Golani" brigade in Binyamina, south of the occupied city of Haifa, unknown to many settlers.
In a sophisticated and complex operation, the missile force of the Islamic Resistance launched dozens of missiles towards various targets in Nahariya and Acre to overwhelm "Israeli" air defense systems. Simultaneously, the air force of the Islamic Resistance launched diverse swarms of drones, some used for the first time, towards different areas in Acre and Haifa. The advanced drones managed to penetrate "Israeli" air defense radars without detection and reached their target in a training camp for the "Golani" brigade in the Binyamina area south of the occupied city of Haifa, exploding in the rooms where dozens of "Israeli" officers and soldiers were preparing to participate in the assault on Lebanon, including senior officers, resulting in the killing and injuring of scores.
The Islamic Resistance has pledged to the most honorable and pure of people that it will remain their protective shield and will not allow this cowardly enemy to single them out. It renews its promise to its highest and holiest martyr that it will continue to defend the beloved land of Lebanon according to the field plans personally prepared with the martyr leaders. It warns the enemy that what it witnessed today in southern Haifa is but a small taste of what awaits if it decides to continue its aggression against our noble and beloved people.
Imagine killing dozens of military personnel without killing civilians. Couldn't be the IDF.
