Links and Stuff
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists, for the “buh Zeleski is a jew?!?!” people.
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.

Yeah, the Fed might as well be on their own military campaign here in the class war.
Which makes the efforts of some people in US politics, like Warren, unintentionally quite entertaining, because they're like "I'm concerned that the Fed will accidentally cause a recession on their way to reduce inflation!" and it's like - yeah, no shit. It's not on accident, they're doing it on purpose
It's analogous to when people are concerned about civilian collateral damage from US drone strikes - I think you missed the memo there, the whole point is to terrorise their population and showcase the degree of overwhelming force you have over them and make them focus on surviving, rather than actively rebelling.

Oh yes, they do this all the time.
Before they do their class war stuff the likely and foreseeable negative consequences of their actions are framed as if they are unlikely hypothetical scenarios and you are made to feel like a crank for being concerned about them.
After they do their nasty thing they frame it as if it was some freak error that nobody could have predicted of prevented. Maybe they blame some goon far down the hierarchy but most often they just move forward like those consequences are things in the past that we shouldn't dwell on.
It all depends on the choice the 3rd world makes. Is indonesia going to choose between having fuel or having no sancions?

Hopefully. Im somehow not as optimistic. The leadership in most countries would rather doo what the us says or else.
But lets hope most of the world gets sancioned so no one has to worry about sanctions any more.
Lots of countries in the third world are effectively comprador regimes. They might not give up the US and thereby the source of their power and privilege without a fight.
Things could get really nasty in a lot of places before they dedollarize.
