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.

  • Redcuban1959 [any]25•2 years ago

    Ukrainian presidential adviser Podolyak confirms that there are no negotiations taking place between Ukraine and Russia, as President Zelensky currently considers them "impossible".

    • LeninWeave [none/use name]22•2 years ago

      How do liberals rationalize this with their idea that the Nazis are a minor force? Either he's the biggest fucking idiot on earth, or there's a gang of fascists with a gun to his head.

      • lascaux [he/him]14•2 years ago

        they consider the true nazis to be the russians who supposedly want to wipe ukraine entirely off the map and want to commit genocide against the ukrainian people. if that were true then negotiations truly would be impossible

      • Commiejones [comrade/them, he/him]9•2 years ago

        and especially if Ukraine was winning as hard as they claim to be. If you are winning hard you keep negotiations open even if you are just going to be belligerent and keep repeating your original demands. (like what Russia was doing when negotiations were happening)

      • voice_of_hermes [he/him,any]4•2 years ago

        IMX—based mostly on :reddit-logo: brigading—they choose one of two flavors:

        1. "Everyone wants to negotiate except Putin. U.S. and Ukraine have been trying over and over again, but Russia just won't come to the table."
        2. "Bucha and other atrocities and the fact that Russia wants to keep territory are non-starters, so Zelenskyy isn't wasting his time. And you can't and shouldn't negotiate with Putler anyway, because he will stop at nothing until he has genocided every Ukrainian and turned every square inch into Russia."

        This shit is really bringing home for me the fact that ALL liberals are pretty much just like the climate-deniers and anti-vaxxers and Q conspiracy dweebs. They just need the right flavor of reactionary drivel to scream irrationally about and stick to the narrative they've been handed despite all evidence to the contrary.
