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.

    I've listened to a few episodes over the last couple years, but I really need to get through Citations Needed so I can really see all the bullshit the media throws at me now that I've installed my brain into the mainframe, and I can just be like "When this douchebag journalist says this, he's being manipulative, Citations Needed discusses it in this episode". Maybe even have one of those copspeak things like "Uhh, the suspect is committing a 417-alpha-charlie violation, responding with immediate kinetic force" but with episode numbers.

      I am eternally grateful to them for having transcripts. (I've never actually heard their voices.) Favorite internationalish episodes:
