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.
You would've had the Communist Party and the Communist internationale at your back in getting you trained, equipped, and moved over to spain to be organized into an international Brigade you could integrate into. A lot of the hogs just straight up gofundme'd themselves into the Ukraine war.

From what Orwell wrote in Homage to Catalonia the situation was kind of a cluster fuck ,with badly limited supplies and poor training. All his group had was good morale.
And at the time there were no spy satellites, no drones, no rocket boosted artillery, no cruise missiles, the tanks sucked, the trucks sucked, the only people who had aircraft in theater were, as I understand it, the Luftwaffe (and I may be wrong about that). It was a very different kind of war, where light infantry had at least some chance of making a difference.

that isnt to say that you will be well equiped, the civil war was fought in very precarious situations.
You were probably more better equipped than the war pigs mercs in ukraine right now, and fighting a less technologically advanced enemy too! (thats to say all the wicked and terrifying shit todays war is being fought with didn't exist in the '30s)
