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.
Yesterday's discussion post.
My Favourite is their giant anti-sub Erkanoplans (basically a hovercraft that uses wings rather than propellers to form ground effect) which apparently had an internal vibration so intense it disintergrated the tiny bones in the crew's ears.
There was also the awkward thing where they replaced every heavy weapon in their army in every service with a recoiless rifle, from battleship guns to mortars to anti-tank aircraft, but in their defence the people responsible (Tukachevsky mostly) got purged hard for their failure.)
