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.
Germany offer to send 20 leopard 2 tanks to ukraine with a delivery every month.
Fucky journalists with their article titling, it's basically saying Germany will send only 20 of their "modern" tanks to fight the Russians, at a rate of 1 tank per month.
All I have to say is fucking lol, lmao even. Also do they think the wars gonna be over soon so they're drip feeding new stock for the soon to be victorious Ukrainian army, or do the krauts think the war is going to last even past the end of next year?
The relevant part here is April 2023 start date, Ukraine is simultaneously going to achieve a crushing victory soon while also they realy REALY need a single modern tank 8 months from now because that will make a huge difference, gigabrain EU leadership with the 4d chess moves.
Germany only has 409ish tanks.
