News update for July 14th: I passed my exam! So I'm going out to celebrate today. Also, it looks like Japan is giving up on pretending it's a democracy, America is on its knees begging to invade Iran, and Moon of Alabama has an update on the current macro state of the war.

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.

    Some stories about how Ukrainian refugees are treated in Denmark told by the volunteer we dropped off some bags of children's clothes to.

    • The municipal authorities who are tasked with helping refugees are not up for the task. If refugees are housed privately they don't consider it their job to help with anything else.
    • The municipal authorities doesn't tell refugees of the possibilities to get help from either public services or private charities.
    • Because of this many refugees lack basic clothing and household items. One family had lived in the same issue of clothes for a month.
    • Just getting registered as a residents can take months and without a personal registration number it is almost impossible to interact with authorities, the healthcare system, opening a bank account or even getting a bus card.
    • Childcare can be a huge problem and municipalities do a really shitty job providing it. A single mother was offered a kindergarten for her youngest child a 40 minutes bus ride from their home. The municipality told her that she could just let her six year old walk to school alone. A six year old walking to school alone in a foreign country where they don't speak the language.
    • All in all the authorities do what they are best at: Being dicks to vulnerable people who they think won't be able to make a fuss about it.

    Support refugees, Ukrainian or otherwise, in whatever way you can.

      That tracts with a lot of the stuff I've been seeing. Also darkly funny that a lot of the "pro-ukraine" psychos have spend a good chunk of the past decade deliberately underfunding our government programs for the settlement of refugees, while also believing them to be allowing refugees to live lavishly off of "danish tax-money". Of course they absolutely refuse to learn litterally anything from this, but it's funny to me in dark sense anyway.
