Currently, DPA is most well known for the daily coverage of the Ukraine War and widely regarded as amongst the most trusted channels covering the war.
The DPA Locals will allow the "DPA Army" to engage deeper as a community as well as have access to exclusive content and activities!
OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT:
Defense Politics Asia has started a new Telegram Chat Group: The DPA Forum (https://t.me/DPAforum)
The standalone Forum (Chat Group) differs from https://t.me/DPAChat , as the DPA Chat is meant to allow chatting under this Telegram channel and allow comments under posts.
DPA Forum operates is a proper forum, that allows discussion on various topics to be spurn out into its own room, so that we don't have multiple conversations of different topics going on all at the same time.
This model had been tested with the DPA Open Mic Speakers' Lounge (private chat group for Open Mic speakers) and I find it very successful/useful. So I want everyone in the DPA Army to have a chance to have a DPA-powered forum too. You will also get to have a direct channel to talk to me directly (which I will be able to keep track better; but to talk about stuffs unrelated to the war or current affairs, as there can be other channels more suitable for it), as well as to raise ideas and suggestions to help grow DPA.
But of course, I expect it to be very messy, since we have a lot of trolls hanging around DPA Chat. But its okay, we will deal with them as we go along.
As usual, it will be the maximum possible free speech and free expression of opinion. Just don't be an asshole and don't spam. Or you will be perm banned from the DPA Forum.
See you guys in the DPA Forum: https://t.me/DPAforum
Bangladesh PM, Sheikh Hasina Wazed, resigns and flees country as her residence is stormed by protestors. While the rest of the country went into the streets to celebrate~
Footages by "Red" from DPA Open Mic
"Red" said that the Army head said that a new government will be formed.
DPA Note: I wonder if this would become some sort of inspiration/example for some of the other countries in the world to go through bloody protests (hundreds, some say thousands, died in the past month of anarchy) to overthrow their authoritarian regimes/dictators.

DPA OPEN MIC CHANNELS:
I'm answering here since the person's email failed to receive my email reply.
So here is the message to me:
"On YT u seem to be trying to give an honest picture of what is going on in Ukraine, which is rare. Most sites support one side or the other and pour on the propaganda, never giving a clear picture of what is going on there. I'm considering support in many ways but I do not support sites or people unless I can know which side they support? The West or Russia, freedom or dictatorship, aggressor or defender? Perhaps if u made this more clear u would gain more support from one side or the other?"
My answer:
Hi,
I live in the "western world", so I'm definitely have zero interest in the collapse of the west, BUT, I have do not like hypocrisy, woke nonsense, as well as all those self-destructive decision by the respective western countries.
I do not dislike Russia; but I'm not pro-Russia (whatever that supposed to mean), as there is no reason for me to pro them.
For Ukraine War, ...
