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.

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

      Remember the Kramatorsk train station attack, the tail of the rocket literaly pointing from the west i.e Ukrainian territory, with serial numbers pointing to Tochka-u owned by Ukraine, using fragment warhead that only Ukraine uses.

      What happened? Nothing, completely forgotten by the west while some idiots came to this site trying to claim the evidence wasn't enough. Go look at it now, "Russian attack".

      No amount of evidence will be enough because this shit isn't about the truth. The same thing already happened with the missile strike on the Azov prisoners and the same thing will happen here.

        Just pretend I have a 4 hour old account for this comment:

        completely devious for Russia to steal a missile belonging to Ukraine, then fire that missile from the east, then make it do a U-turn in the air, then hit Kramatorsk.

        I can't wait until you Putinists realize that Russia has already lost this war, I mean, look at the map lmfao. hasn't moved in months. the HIMARS and the Kherson counteroffensive will be just one step on the journey that will eventually result in Ukraine taking back Crimea from the war criminals. great fucking job, guys, you've made NATO even stronger and Europe is more unified than ever.

        Literal HIMAR shell fragments littered around the Azov prisoner base but the west doesn’t care

      Russian telegram had some images posted of rocket fragments from the attack, to nobodies surprise they're the ones the HIMARS fires.

      It's a mystery to everyone! :shrug-outta-hecks:
