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.

Last week's discussion post.

      • SeventyTwoTrillion [he/him]M28•2 years ago

        Ukraine is engaging in marketplace practices and avoiding breaking the NAP by selling their weapons to Russia rather than shooting them at them - if Ukrainians did this enough, imagine how rich they'd be! Capitalism wins again!

      • CTHlurker [he/him]11•2 years ago

        I mean, if I was a sergent-by-default because my superior got taken out by a rocket, and I know that I can never leave the armed forces without being hunted like an animal, I'd probably see if I could parlay some shiny new toys into a russian citizenship and a suitcase full of cash.

        • LeninWalksTheWorld [any]5•2 years ago

          especially if you were drafted out of a prison cell or something. Ukraine's desperation for manpower means a lot of disloyal soldiers will be in their ranks
