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.

Yesterday's discussion post.

    Britain’s hospitality sector is facing “as big a crisis, if not bigger” than during the Covid pandemic, the chief executive of trade body UKHospitality, Kate Nicholls, has told The Daily Mail.

    She warned that 10,000 pubs and restaurants could soon be out of business thanks to a “perfect storm” of inflation, with soaring energy and rental costs.

    “We’re already seeing a lot of independent operators handing in the keys and walking away,” she said on Sunday.

    Nicholls estimates that 20,000 of UKHospitality members’ businesses are still operating at a loss and 30,000 have no cash reserves.

    I've personally spoken to some petty-bougs and this is a big one. Small business in the entire country is currently not able to operate at a profit. Energy costs are too high to run their buildings.

    Either energy costs are forcibly brought down or we see an absolutely massive wave of business closure. Everything will be boarded up, everywhere.

    A pub owner I know said his energy bill to run the pub (quarterly) would be £30,000 and he can't sell the 1500-2000 pints necessary to break even.

      Have the north atlantic barbarians considered not provoking large nations? So much of this is self-inflicted.

      Fuck the small business tyrants who are getting cut down by this but this will result be a disaster for the workers who are going to be out of a job and a really sad thing for the communities who will lose their pub.

      It's ordinary working class people who suffer when the rich and the powerful fight.
