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.
Yesterday's discussion post.
They did that and Ukrainians did fire and that’s what started the special operation
I'm almodt entirely sure that's not true.
The Ukranians firing into the Republics was recorded by the OAS, which is a UN organization. All records are available online.
The Ukraninas were escalating their barrages day by day on an exponential level prior to the invasion.
They wanted this war very desperately.
So deranged and pathetic that they wanted to pick a fight with Russia. What do the Nazis get out of this besides getting shot at and bombed? The war gives them favorable conditions to rise in power and popularity, but at this point they’re basically going to be in charge of a war torn rump state with no coastline.
Western media mostly omitted it, just like they covered up 8 years of attacks on Donbas. The series of events were: Ukraine firing a massive artillery volume at DPR, Russia recognizing DPR/LPR and moving troops into those regions, Ukrainians stopped firing, Russia started to pull troops back and then Ukrainians resumed heavy artillery fire immediately. Then the special operation was declared.
