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.
Ukrainian Presidential advisor Arestovych: "We are in a difficult situation, and it will get worse", "there may be encirclements, abandonment of positions, and heavy casualties", "we are in for a tough month: depression, panic, and mutual accusations in society"
Russian telegram is saying that Arestovych said that Russia has bought off the western media due to the articles slightly critical of whether Ukraine will win. Which, like, I'm not sure if that's even possible with all the sanctions and shit on them, but also, lol. Like, not a single MSM source is saying that Ukraine is gonna lose, the most I've seen is "nobody will win this" which is one of those things where, like, that's true, but one side is gonna be a lot more stable and victorious than the other.
CNN and others have started to call for a ceasefire and for Ukraine to negotiate seriously
The Ukraine must be completely fucked
“We the defenders of the West are getting backstabbed by the media.”
Have they started accusing the (((media))) or are we not quite at that point in the script yet?
Fascists and delisions. Go figure
When the head propagandist starts cracking and telling the truth, times indeed look dire ahead for the Ukrainian state
Trying to pre-empively bothsides the upcoming news of more massacres done by retreating nazis, I bet.
Possibly. Recriminations are common when things start going terribly. Unfortunately in Ukraine, the resentments of the most armed faction will be heavily anti-Semitic, anti-Roma, anti-trans and anti-Russian.
It means someone will get accused of being a backstabber. I'm sure all parties will be equally guilty.
