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.

    • A_Serbian_Milf [they/them]13•2 years ago

      The current one China policy is being openly and flagrantly ignored, much like Minsk II (officially endorsed, de facto ignored). And just like Minsk II, this cannot hold and will erupt soon due to US provocation. The whole world is laughing at the US mockery of China’s sovereignty and China’s inability to do anything about it, nobody actually is respecting the One China policy from the west regardless of their official words.

      Slow economic, political and diplomatic takeover is the nice way to go about it, but America is going to fight it tooth and nail. Siege is the middle compromise to break Taiwanese separatist factions and regain political control of the island. The violent way involves amphibious assault, artillery and airstrikes on the island.

        • A_Serbian_Milf [they/them]11•2 years ago

          It’s certainly less violent than opening fire with MLRS, rockets and drones which is the alternative.

          China has been trying the nice and slow route for decades and Taiwan continues to drift away and act as an imperialist puppet.

          Why are there so many Taiwan defenders on this site with names like yellow_parenti5 and uncle_kracker? Did you even read Settlers or Fanon 😂 ? The place needs an overthrow and decolonizing purge and that’s a fact

            • A_Serbian_Milf [they/them]11•2 years ago

              Adopting a posture with no action is transparent and feckless and China’s done it before and it hasn’t gotten any results.

              You are saying the best course of action is bluffing and posturing and then backing down and looking weak? That’s it? That’s really “the best” action?

              I don’t base my name on famous anti-imperialist sayings or thinkers and then post in the exact opposite fashion, as a squishy westoid pacifist
