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.

    all of those sound like awful places to survive climate change, I'm pretty sure random military bozos aren't a metric to decide where it will be survivable

      Why? Mountain ranges = rainwater = rivers, fat critters, big game, out of the way of the major highways so less hoards of starving people trying to outrun hurricanes, flooding, heatwaves.

      About 10 years ago after learning that humanity will not survive climate change, I picked the northwest territories of canada as the best place to be in this hemisphere. It's too late for me now, I will likely die fighting random civilians for basic resources because I would rather have my treats than establishing a homestead for the next decade as the climate slowly eats me alive.

      The military higher-ups absolutely know climate change is going to fuck things up, and they definitely tell their "good boys" where to retire.

      As I've come to accept that I'm stuck in America, I've been sporadically looking into its most survivable places for years. It really seems like the Great Lakes region will be the least fucked over. Northern New England might do okay, and the PNW will be easily survivable until it very much isn't.
