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.

    train transport, a 19th-century technology

    Look bro, Russia should have loaded their tanks onto Teslas and put them in a tunnel bro. That's the transportation of the future bro.

    Wealthy nations sanctioning Russia must make clear they recognize that the concern over global hunger is not unfounded — freedom is not free — and confront the question of costs, along with the reason for bearing them in terms that will resonate

    Some of you might die but that is a sacrifice I'm willing to make.

    Russia is fighting a war of conquest against a country it sees as a colony, something familiar to many in the emerging world.

    Meanwhile, in the real world, people in the imperial periphery love to see the western imperialists who continue to loot their countries eat shit in the Ukraine.

    an army that cannot wage a high-tech war

    TIL that hypersonic missiles and friggin' lasers are not high-tech.

    Meanwhile the modern NATO-armed Ukrainian army are making technicals out of pickup trucks and WWI machine guns looted from museums.

    And expect a slow-dawning realization among the serious-minded socialists and populists that the best time to carry out their big ideas, the best moment for a radical policy departure, may have already come and gone.

    Serious-minded leftists knows that we simply cannot afford socialism right now. The time is never right for good things to happen.
