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.

    Then the Biden administration came into office, and they decided to put it bluntly to their partners in the Middle East: the current host of the White House did not like the war in Yemen and was not going to support it.

    Except the Biden admin has continued to support it. In fact, it still provides essential logistical support, spare parts, intelligence, and training. Without it, the Saudi side would effectively collapse offensively.

      Ah the liberal delusion of fending the flames for decades and thinking you can simply put a stop to it with a speech on the “bully pulpit”

      Reminds me of Hillary “Light Itself” Clinton’s claim that she told Wall Street to “just stop it!”

        "Sir! Sir! I I simply must object to the behaviour which you have exhibited over the last few years towards Yemen! We are quite unhappy at your conduct here. Of course, we shall continue to supply weapons and intelligence, but please, be more gentle to the people of that country!"

        "Fuck off."

        "How rude. I won't change my relationship with you - we are gentleman of our words, after all - but I give you two thumbs down!"
