The Black Sea & The Naval War in Ukraine - Drones, Grain, Blockades & the Bridge to Crimea
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8D7ioiW0JA ^ | 7/30/2023 | Perun

Description: While the hardest fighting in Ukraine takes place on land, the Black Sea front saw a stand-off through most of 2022 and early 2023. Russia's fleet was ranged away from the coast by AShMs, but continued to fire cruise missiles from afar.

As time has gone on, the fighting has evolved and new weapons have been deployed, including long range drones. At the same time, the deal which allowed millions of tonnes of foodstuffs to safely transit the Black Sea now seems to have ended, setting the stage for a potential escalation in fighting and a potential blockade.

In this episode, I look at the naval war in 2023, the strikes on the bridge, and the potentially vast implications of the end of the grain export deal.

Yes, he does, and his logic is reasonable as well.

I was unable to run my easiest media bias test on Perun's You Tube channel as he has never posted anything there about President Trump (I look for bias against Trump and Support for his Persecutors), so I also searched for anything he posted on Australian government response to Covid 19.

Again nothing, while Sky News and Fox had numerous criticisms of the Australian government response to Covid 19.

So I can't clear him of bias.

he definitely has a western bias from his sarcasm

but he is as fairly balanced as a solo reporter can be

I noticed the sarcasm and the detailed (and logical) analysis of the negative Public Relations Consequences of Russian military actions, Diplomatic actions and Russian Officials speech.

On the other hand there was little similar analysis of Ukraine Military actions, and none of the Diplomatic actions and Ukrainian Officials speech.

That could be personal bias, or an admission of Western media's bias, or fear of offending western propagandists.

Certainly the lack of similar analysis for Ukraine is telling, he is too smart to not have figured out that Ukraine's actions have similar negative Public Relations Consequences, they are just not reported in the West.

Agreed, no lies, good analysis, however I would like to see that same analysis applied completely to the Ukrainian side.
