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.
"Ukraine Newspaper Warns New York Times Not to ‘Appease’ Putin" Woof. That one is pretty rough. Whats the bet The Kyiv Independent is set up and funded by the CIA?
100%. it is funded through NED/EED spook money and the CEO works directly with NED
I think that was the one that my government set up in 2014. From what I remember the lead editor gets paid a hefty salary by the Danish Ministry of Foreign Affairs, not to be confused with our Ministry of Foreigners, which is the one we use to do racism to brown people.
Because Americans don't actually understand history, they think 75% of world history is about WW2 (because that's what their movies and shows are about) and the lesson they take away is that "appeasement bad". As if societies haven't negotiated and compromised around conflicts for millennia. Nope, it's all just APPEASEMENT.
Coincidentally, appeasement was capitalist nations trying to push Nazis to fight Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union.
I wonder who in the modern day is pushing Nazis to fight against Russia.
When was the last time the US diplomatically resolved anything? It's been unilateral military action. crushing sanctions, torn up treaties, and economic warfare my entire life.
