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.
The victims here are those in the Donbass and the people who have been displaced, conscripted, or basically doing anything against their will.
Russia isn't a victim per se - my point is that blocs remain a thing. They might not be moral, they might in fact be very bad, but pretending that it doesn't exist and that you can do things contrary to your nearby bloc's interest will often have bad results. There's a reason why Cuba hasn't seized Guantanamo Bay despite it being well within their rights to do so.
