Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict
Add to the above list if you can, thank you.
Resources For Understanding The War Beyond The Bulletins
Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map, who is an independent youtuber with a mostly neutral viewpoint.
Moon of Alabama, which tends to have good analysis (though also a couple bad takes here and there)
Understanding War and the Saker: neo-conservative sources but their reporting of the war (so far) seems to line up with reality better than most liberal sources.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict and, unlike most western analysts, has some degree of understanding on how war works. He is a reactionary, however.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent journalist reporting in the Ukrainian warzones.
Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.
Yesterday's discussion post.

Ugh. Small, mostly off-topic rant. :reddit-logo:'s /r/fuckcars is usually pretty good, and there do seem to be a lot of actual leftists there, but god damn do they go hard on this European walkable cities bit sometimes. And also on the idea that driving should just be made infinitely expensive, because obviously the result will be that transportation alternatives will magically appear and become sufficient, and not that poor people will be unable to work and lose their housing and shit. sigh
