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.

Idk how they think the U.S. is 'not threatening China' when the two largest military bases in the world (which are American) are in Japan and South Korea, and then consistently breaking treaty agreements with them.
You see, America is great, therefore everything they do is good, and anyone who doesn't get that must be evil

Looks like it, but doesn't mean the info isn't useful- libs might use this info to justify higher military spending, but we can use it to see the neoliberal-led contradictions that have led America down this path
No one is threatening China.
Meanwhile: US to build anti-China missile network along first island chain
Translation, Anglo countries (i.e. the World) don't like china, so it's China's fault cause Anglo domination is a universal moral good and stuff like Belt and road is evil because reasons we made up
