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.
They're trying to scare Saudi's into submission right now with limited propaganda spread.
Why would Saudi Arabia be scared? They hold all the cards and have the leverage. It’s an oil seller’s market, and the US/EU needs them way more than Saudis need the US/EU.
There’s no reason for the Saudis to buckle unless a coup is thrown
The yanks are famous for being able to throw one hell of a coup though.
It would only take a few dozen cruise missile strikes to leave Saudi completely without water, at which point human survival in the peninsula would be, what, months? weeks?
