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.

    Global Times Chinese version on sanctions on Pelosi — doesn't seem to be only a gesture.

    众所周知，被称为“国会山富婆”的佩洛西，其家族经营着庞大的商业版图。佩洛西涉嫌利用职务之便为其家族提供商业利益早就广受诟病。中方的制裁势必将对其形成精准打击。此前有香港媒体调查发现，佩洛西丈夫和儿子靠基金投资中国内地、香港及亚洲多区资产，疯狂捞取油水，其丈夫创立的铭基环球投资（香港）旗下的“亚洲股息基金”有一半为中国企业。而该基金的直接经营者是曾向民主党捐款数百万美元的金主。以后不仅这些生意铁定是做不成了，民主党的政治捐款来源也可能受到波及。以后佩洛西家族的“旋转门”转到任何与中国元素相连接的地方都会卡住，“被夹得肉疼”的感觉将是真切而持久的。

    As is own to all, Pelosi, "Our Rich Lady of Capitol Hill," has a family that manages a giant commercial empire. She has long been suspected and broadly criticized for cashing in on her political office for the private gains of her family, and to this China's sanctions will certainly launch a precision strike. A while ago, presses in Hong Kong have discovered that her husband and son have invested in numerous assets in mainland China, Hong Kong, and other parts of Asia through equity funds and have manically made fortunes from them. The Matthews Global Investors (Hong Kong) Ltd her husband established has a "Asia Equity Dividend Fund" where half of the invested firms are Chinese. And the manager of this fund is a donor who has invested millions of dollars to the Democratic Party. From this point on, these ventures will certainly be impossible — and furthermore, even sources of political donations to the Democratic Party may be affected. In the future, all "revolving doors" of the Pelosi family will be stuck whenever it turns to anywhere connected with any Chinese elements. The pain of "getting squeezed by a closing door" will be real and will be lasting.

    That metaphor in the end.

        The dream is China selling off all its American USD and bonds and debt, and then nationalizing all anglo assets within China
