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.

Telegram Channels

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

    decades of [...] aggression. [...] has invaded ... It brutally unleashed its air power [...] killing thousands of civilians. ... it flattened large parts of the [...] republic, including its capital, with total civilians killed in that conflict estimated to be in the tens of thousands. ... sent assassination squads [...] to kill his enemies, ... has used money and cyberattacks to disrupt ... threatened the use of nuclear weapons. Does any other country even come close?

    :wonder-who-thats-for:

    the country that triggered World War I was Austria-Hungary, an empire in broad decline, and yet one determined to use its military to show the world it still mattered and to teach a harsh lesson to Serbia, which it regarded as a minor, vassal state. Sound familiar?

    I'm not projecting, you're projecting!

      Austria-Hungary, an empire in broad decline

      Sounds like the French / UK / Russian alliance will stomp these turds within a few months. A quick, glorious war if ever I saw one. Europeans would be crazy not to fight it out.
