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.

    The administration of Zaporozhye has cancelled its citizens' debts to Ukrainian banks.

    Please mr. Putin invade my country next.

    • Z_Poster365 [none/use name]25•2 years ago

      Wonder if any Ukrainians racked up a bunch of debt in a splurge right before the invasion

            • SoyViking [he/him]6•2 years ago

              Two possibilities:

              1. The west sends money for stuff. The money falls off the truck and someone finds it and buy some nice cars.
              2. The west needs someone to play along. They get some "aid" in the form of nice cars and now they see things from the western side.

        I thought I remember someone mentioning in one of the early war threads that some Ukrainians were taking out crazy loans when the invasion started.

      • SoyViking [he/him]13•2 years ago

        Ukraine is a poor and mismanaged country so I reckon that lots of Ukrainians must be pretty fucked over by debts.
