One benefit of counter social is this is an opt-in community that, as far as I can see, considers it virtuous to examine and reflect before posting, which should help minimize the spread of BS. Also, @th3j35t3r does a good job of making it hard on hostile powers like Russia to steer the dialog.

It is that time of year when we start seeing great recommendations for books to read in the new year. I've just reviewed my bookshelf and pulled a few out that I want to finish before year end.

If Russian Navy will use helicopters to drop naval infantry on the day of the invasion expect rehearsals. If Odessa is target helos will spend most of time over water but rehearsals might be heard and visible to some. #UkraineConflict #UkraineWar #RussiaUkraine
There are many reasons for the public to track the Russia attack against Ukraine, of course. We should all be informed of reality so we can pressure elected officials to do the right thing. But also we should think about what it means for making better personal decisions. And businesses should think about their risk profile, even if they operate far away from the theater.
