"This thread is brought to you by the Ministry of Propaganda of Ukraine."

Paid for by the hard-working American taxpayers.

Funny thing. Hitler invaded Russia to get control of its oil fields, and Germany ended up being dependent on Russia for its energy needs for decades. Ukraine should take a lesson from Hitler and Germany's failure.

There is no “conservative” alternative to Reuters or AP.
They have the organization in place to gather general news worldwide.
There is no such thing on the right.

Remember the dialogue from Stalag 13, roughly transcribed?

US Airman Prisoner: (Listening to radio music) What's that music?
German Guard: (Affecting a Katzenjammer accent) Bay-tow-fen; dare vas a goot Sherman!
US Airman Prisoner: Yeah, he's dead.

To you was written, "I thought you would appreciate the Moscow Times being cited by Jake?!?!"

( Jake Broe of course is a vlogger who uploads monetized content from the United States. ) Jake Broe - Estimated earnings

Interesting. The Moscow Times was in Moscow, as its Privacy statement says but that has not been updated since 2021.

About The Moscow Times:

whois query for themoscowtimes.com

Domain: themoscowtimes.com
Registrar: Hosting Concepts B.V. d/b/a Registrar.eu
Registered On: 2000-02-03
Registrant Contact Organization: Stichting Potamos
Country: NL

The nameservers for the Moscow Times website are now all located in the EU and the British Indian Ocean Territory.

Stichting Potamos

Amstelveen, The Netherlands

From Stichting Potamos "Operating independent media from with Russia became not only dangerous- it became illegal. Authorities introduced draconian laws forbidding journalists to use the word 'war' and labelling the activities of independent media as 'foreign agents' or even worse 'undesirables'. This forced Russian independent media into exile [ circa 2021 ] - from where they now became the voice to fight Russian state propaganda. The mission of Stichting Potamos is to support independent journalism in Russia and the CIS countries. Freedom of the press and freedom of information are vital for gathering and distributing reliable, fact-based news. "

So the Moscow Times is today hosted by servers in the EU and the British Indian Ocean Territory. This explains why their site's address was "Last updated: December 07, 2021," that is to say before the invasion of Ukraine.

It is interesting that so many sources can be traced back to "not as they appear to be" links. But promotion of monetized YouTube channels is a growing "thing" on FR.

It is interesting that the ( monetized ) Weeb Union videos -- "reporting" on Ukraine -- are your contribution to the thread, as counterpoint to UMCRevMom's monetized videos.

"Weeb Union" uploads from Egypt, which is a little closer to the world conflicts that Birmingham, Alabama....

One of the almost-daily posts is again in this thread.

He wrote in the "Community" portion of the YouTube page, " The Enforcer 3 weeks ago - Hello Everyone! Sadly we will not be having a stream tonight on February 17th for reasons that I cannot disclose at the moment behind the scenes. I would like for everyone to know that the situation is under control ,but sadly a nightly stream would not be possible given the circumstances. We will see you all on Sunday, February 18th at 10 PM EST for the Sunday fundraiser! Long Live The LSA! "

LSA is "Leaf Spring Army," essentially a fan club for his monetized YouTube channel. His Twitter account shows him in Birmingham, Alabama. Or as he says, ""We Stream Nightly at 10:00pm EST." Birmingham, AL

His "uasupporter.com" site, also originally registered in 2022 in Alabama and now "privacy protected" by a company in Tempe, Arizona, still redirects to his "merch" store, UP TO 30% OFF BESTSELLERS Note that the redirect leads to "https://goldenheart.store/," with its support in China. Source: Goldenheart Store Imprint

To actually see this supposedly anonymous individual who live streams and fundraisers every night, see Merry Christmas LSA! | The 2023 Christmas Address With The Enforcer "Leaf Spring Army" Go into the video some minutes to watch his 'spiel' in front of the cheery fireplace and holiday decorations.

A community and viewer base supporting youtuber "The Enforcer"

"When I first started this channel, I was a sophomore in undergrad at UAB [ University of Alabama, Birmingham ] and I was beginning to transfer over into a history major so that I could graduate and get my degree a few years later." And "...as we're rounding out this year we are very close to reaching $1.4 million...."

As this guy stated elsewhere on 30 April 2022: "We have a merch shop! Make sure to get some if you want to support the channel and get something cool out of it. 10% of the profits will be donated to a charity working in Ukraine. Thank you for all of your support!" That is, 90 percent goes to The Enforcer. As he says "long live the Leaf Spring Army, The Leaf Spring Army never dies."

"Never dies?" Nor does his almost daily promotion to Freepers on this particular OP's thread.

It surely seems that much is about clicks and ads and fund raising.

Seems just a bit high. I’m not saying the Russkies haven’t suffered losses, even large losses, but 400K men is just nuts. The NVA facing American firepower for 8 years didn’t suffer losses like that

Russians detain Crimean Tatar activist Dudakov
Ukrainska Pravda
Alona Mazurenko
Wednesday, 13 March 2024, 15:27

Edem Dudakov, a Crimean Tatar activist, has been detained in Bakhchysarai by Russian authorities.

SOURCE:
Krym.Realii (Crimea.Realities, a project by Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty); Dmytro Lubinets, Ukrainian Ombudsman on Telegram

DETAILS:
Reports say Dudakov’s house was searched this morning.

Refat Chubarov, head of the Crimean Tatar Mejlis, said that Dudakov was then taken to Russia’s FSB headquarters in Simferopol.

Dudakov is a Crimean Tatar activist who serves on the Audit Commission of the Crimean Tatar Kurultay.

QUOTE:
“The Russian Federation continues to persecute Crimean Tatars in the temporarily occupied Crimea.

I urge the international community to increase political and sanctions pressure on Russia, demanding an end to its gross violations of human rights in Ukrainian Crimea, as well as the immediate and unconditional release of all illegally detained Ukrainian citizens.”

Pentagon may provide Ukraine with ATACMS missile modification with range up to 290 km -WSJ
European Pravda, Ukrainska Pravda
Wednesday, 13 March 2024, 15:23
https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2024/03/13/7446293/

The Wall Street Journal has reported that the US Department of Defense is open to the transfer of longer-range ATACMS missiles.

SOURCE:
European Pravda with reference to The Wall Street Journal

DETAILS:
Earlier, Pentagon officials insisted that the US Armed Forces should retain all of their long-range ATACMS missiles to meet their own military needs.

However, the US Department of Defense is now open to transferring longer-range ATACMS because the US military can now use the next-generation Precision Strike Missile, as US officials said.

They did not say, however, whether US President Joe Biden would approve the transfer of the ATACMS of this particular modification.

BACKGROUND:
The day before, the United States announced a US$300 million security assistance package to Ukraine – the first one in 2024 – amid blockages of additional funding in the US Congress.

Media reported that it would include long-range ATACMS missiles with a range of up to 160 kilometres.
