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.

      She's a ghoul but she's class conscious and she's right to be worried. If you are barely able to make rent you might be cowed by fear of losing what little you have but if your children are starving while someone else is eating waigu steaks you go out and do something about it. Hungry people don't stay hungry for long.

      The spark that ignited the October Revolution were women who went to the streets of Leningrad (then Petrograd) protesting lack of food for themselves and their children.

      Minor nitpick that, ultimately doesn't matter, but the M777 is a towed howitzer. Not self propelled like an M109 Paladin. Makes it even easier to find, as spotters get to look for a larger "footprint" as extra vehicles will be in an area where M777's are. And a bit easier to get counter battery working effectively as M777's need to be hooked back up to a truck/track to be moved before the red rain falls.
