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.
Consequences of western hegemony
IIRC there might be increasing anti-american/western sentiment in china though (does anyone have stats/polls/numbers on this?)
Yes. I know I've seen more (and better, and more recent) polls showing this, but I'm having difficulty finding them at the moment (Google doesn't want us knowing the truth 👁️).
But anyway, favorability of the US in China dropped by a net 13% just in the first 100 days of Biden's admin: https://morningconsult.com/2021/04/27/biden-100-days-global-views-america/
Here's one showing a decline as of 2013: https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2013/07/18/chapter-1-attitudes-toward-the-united-states/
Here's another poll showing a pretty detailed breakdown of attitudes toward the US as of late last year, although it doesn't show change over time: https://uscnpm.org/the-pulse/
