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.

    We want to keep the Russian oil but also not pay them. If the Russians stop giving us oil then oil prices might go up and that’s unacceptable.

    Capitalists are becoming incoherent. Didn’t they use to understand the simple concept of exchange? They want their cake and to eat it too, you don’t get the profits and the goods. You exchange one for the other.

    How are they getting this deranged?

      The answer is simple

      They are old

      The youth don't really get it. But I've worked in retirement homes. And old people are insane and incoherent and that is who is running the west

      It's that simple.

      Capitalism is flawed by nature and continuing it is illogical. That Capitalists are irrational and delusional should come as no surprize.

      They want oil but they don't want to pay for it? Good luck with that.
