Links and Stuff
Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists, for the “buh Zeleski is a jew?!?!” people.
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.

Last week's discussion post.
What format would you like personal opinion citations to be? Something like this?
"I think this looks like a color revolution."
WORKS CITED:
Me, I just said that thing I think
I understand the vitriol but i simply asked if they have something more to suggest that it's a color revolution than "people are burning cop cars in country opposed to US".
I thought it was obvious that i am not waiting for a dissertation and if not, i'm sorry about that.
No worries. I think there was a pretty extensive discussion about the Iran situation further down the megathread that might cover some bases.
Personally I think it's likely that it's a color revolution given the purported video of the woman falling and that the CIA is never not fucking with other nations, but I won't go further than "likely" until further details emerge.
Lol yeah saw the modlog since than and saw it.
I've declared my opinion on other topics.
It was obvious, the dude is just being an ass
I mean yea compare it to hk where we saw protest leaders meeting with American Congress people and reactionaries waving American flags. Like yea we should base our opinions on evidence.
replying "CITATION NEEDED" to someone's opinion is just some weird passive aggressive reddit debatelord shit
How else should the OP have asked for more info backing up the color revolution belief?
Even if he was like "not trying to be a debate bro, but any evidence actually suggesting this?", youd still be all pissy.
Heres a non passive aggressive straight forward comment for you: get over yourself. Not everything is debatebro bullshit
lmao
Sidenote I'm a different poster than divinechaos.
I'm being uncharitable and equating you with other posters in the thread saying it's a slam dunk colour rev and am sorry that I prob read too much into you posting an emote. Your right it was passive aggressive and I probably shouldn't have latched on to your post.
:solidarity:
