A more proper sum up of the latest poll: Why doesn't anyone want to join Russian sphere of influence but rather it needs to wage war and enforce itself on others by brute force? In comparison with NATO / EU whose members come in willingly.
I at least personally do not count North Korea as a meaningful choice, China neither, nor Iran. Who wants its cleric class to rule the country - that just has to be a flawed choice - in my personal opinion.
Talking about personal opinions - of a mere random mapper (drunk on Canadian Whiskey currently), multipolar world has to exist, so no one has the choice of overpowering the entire world with what are certain to be poor choices, Western or otherwise. We at least all have to admit we all have our flaws - and difference of opinions have to exist (which are harshly supressed in the most of Eastern / Global South parts of the globe - just I imagine due to their general weakness and instability [present in the West as well, but allowed in the general discource]).
I'm well aware Easterners / Global South make the most of the viewers on this channel (RU being the #1 by viewer count), but I'm not interested in having you if we can't have an open discussion. Wreck my bias please, thanks.
Next, we'll cover Dnipropetrovsk Eastern region - starting from November 2025 - to see how the situation was developing running up and through the Ukrainian counter-offensive.
I'll be curious to see how our km2 measurements compare to what we've been hearing on the TV. We'll also make the final comparison at the end date to the Russian map source - DIVGEN. The main source will be ISW.
The next map will be of the 'Fortress Belt' (Sloviansk, Kramatorsk, Druzhkivka, Kostiantynivka) - based on ISW. To curb the complaints with anyone's preferred sources, a comparison against DivGen will be made at the end of videos.
The idea is to make several zoomed-out maps of the most developing frontlines, and several zoomed-in maps of cities / more narrow regions - and attempting to make 'regular' updates on each.
I got caught up with another project and will need to slow down updates for the War Maps YT channel - for some time. The project is completely unrelated to War Maps and YouTube. I will do my best to figure out how to organize my time better ahead to not feel like WM isn't getting any time put into it. Sorry about that!
