that's the thing. idk what main sources and commentary are good
If you're looking for written stuff, this is some of what's in my RSS feed:
https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/ - Geopolitics and economics
https://geopoliticaleconomy.com/ - Geopolitics
https://www.indianpunchline.com/ - Geopolitical blog written by a former Indian diplomat
https://www.mintpressnews.com/ - US and geopolitics
https://www.erininthemorning.com/ - US anti-trans legislation tracking
https://electronicintifada.net/ - Palestine news
If you want videos that can easily just be listened to like a podcast:
https://www.youtube.com/democracynow - Quick headlines of world events every day and usually some interesting interviews. They can be hit or miss on foreign policy stuff sometimes.
https://www.youtube.com/@GeopoliticalEconomyReport - ~~Multipolarista's~~ Geopolitical Economy Report's channel. Ben Norton will usually go over the articles he writes in video form. They also host Geopolitical Economy Hour, which is a very interesting show with Radhika Desai and Michael Hudson and the occasional guest. The playlist is here: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDAi0NdlN8hMl9DkPLikDDGccibhYHnDP
https://www.youtube.com/@AlexMercouris - The good half of The Duran, mainly covers the ongoing conflicts in Ukraine and West Asia. As soon as he starts talking about social issues though, just tune him out. Thankfully it doesn't happen often. He talks very slowly though, I would suggest 1.5x speed at least.
https://www.youtube.com/@TheDuran - Geopolitics. Mainly a channel for the occasional interesting interview/discussion, but their main videos are just shorter/more focused analysis from Mercouris. His cohost isn't worth paying that much attention to in my opinion.
https://www.youtube.com/@TheElectronicIntifada - Palestine news
Thank you so much!
