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.

I just find it quite interesting that you all are much more concerned over my rudeness than over a so-called “cringe take” exhibiting imperialist and chauvinist tendencies. Where are your priorities?

I’m glad you agree, the first I’m hearing of it instead of insipid tone policing on their behalf. Why didn’t you just say that earlier?
Love to have condescending westerners always poo poo me and tell me I’m overreacting whenever I point out their shitty chauvinist underlying their logic. You are saying this to a displaced Syrian. Would you tell a black victim of racially insensitive comments that they are overreacting, and even if they are right they shouldn’t be so rude about it? I have all the right in the world to shit on western chauvinism, it destroyed my home nation and my family.

But interestingly you only were replying to me and attacking me, not them. Here’s a deal, I’ll self crit if you all do too
