Responsible Statecraft, a non-profit opposed to the military-industrial complex and foreign funding, is far from legacy media, while maintaining a trusted reputation. I have the highest respect for its co-founder, Trita Parsi.
With that said, even legacy media can offer vital information, and RS isn't perfect, especially with its funding sources.
Highly recommend this well-researched article:

Also in this case, I was using Legacy media to show how Legacy media was wrong by regurgitating US-Ukraine war propaganda without question. But I'm not above using any sources, as long as they provide information.

Totally agree. As vile as he and others are, ensuring people (including attorneys, police, and authorities) have access to voluntary information is the only thing that makes any sense to me.

Question: I left Bluesky because there was too much pressure to post Dem-biased news. Will I have the same problem on Nostr except with right wing politics? I don't have anything against Left or Right politics. It's just that a more diverse ecosystem is preferred for publishing independent news.

US WOULD LOSE AGAINST CHINA
US missiles would run out within days in war with China, according to US military analysts
"It's a huge problem in the United States... we just do not have enough weapons. We don't have enough missiles, we don't have enough aircraft, we don't have enough submarines..."

US military experts project China's military will be fully equipped for war by 2027.

The only possible credible evidence that I could find was an alleged N Korean POW being interrogated by Ukraine military speaking in his native language. But there are too many Russians who could be mistaken for N Koreans (including language) and it just isn't enough proof anyway.
There are plenty of alleged photos and images circulating social media but all are unverified or unconfirmed by major news networks, third parties, or investigative journalism.
Hah, I absolutely love not driving, myself.
Do you have any non-Ukraine ally sources?
TRUMP GOVERNMENT SPENDING
Trump just now: "We're going to be looking at Department of Education, even our military. We're talking about trillions of dollars being absolutely wasted."
While the Biden gov did spend more, in early Dec 2018, Trump called levels of US defense spending “crazy,” only to announce plans a week later for an increase to $750 Billion defense budget...
Trump also replaced Dem-biased news media offices in the Pentagon with mostly pro-Trump news media.

Gas prices in Cali are still ticking up 'amid tariffs fears.'
Thank you! I'm still having some issues with posting media on Nostr, unless I stay low key, avoid posting too many videos, and wait in between posts. I can work with that, unless there's a breaking news story. Not sure what to do then.
I personally did in an depth investigation on this news story (publishing my reports with documentation on Bluesky) and found no credible evidence that N Korean troops were in combat for Russia up until January 2025.
N KOREAN SOLDIERS FIGHTING IN RUSSIA?
Ukraine, NATO, US, and S Korea repeatedly claimed North Korean soldiers were fighting for Russia in Kursk to rally public support for the Biden admin allowing Ukraine to fire long-range ATACMS into Russia.
Now the allies state that N Korean troops have not been seen in combat for three weeks.
Were N Korean soldiers ever there in the first place? Multiple major news outlets reported “no soldiers who talked to [our journalists] had encountered [N Koreans] in battle.” Zelensky's "evidence" was also full of inconsistencies, implausibilities, and based on unverified videos.

And that doesn't even include the 3,000+ JDAMS, 14,000+ MK-80s, bunker busters, GBUs... that the US transferred to Israel since Oct 7.
