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 can't wait to get bombed by NATO's newest members, Finland and Sweden, here in my humble third world nation.
It might even be by a woman or even nonbinary pilot. Don't you just feel the progress?
The pilots bombing you will have free healthcare and walkable cities.
Ugh. Small, mostly off-topic rant. :reddit-logo:'s /r/fuckcars is usually pretty good, and there do seem to be a lot of actual leftists there, but god damn do they go hard on this European walkable cities bit sometimes. And also on the idea that driving should just be made infinitely expensive, because obviously the result will be that transportation alternatives will magically appear and become sufficient, and not that poor people will be unable to work and lose their housing and shit. sigh

My experience with scandinavian socialism comes from experiences like a Finnish company (along with a Spanish one) setting up a pulp mill for paper production in the Uruguay River, shared by both Uruguay and Argentina, sparking protests for enviromental safety concerns. Another example is the Swedish Mining Company Boliden AB dumping their waste in Chile... if I look hard enough I'll find more shit the wholesome Scandinavian dudes did to us.
Oh, there's a reason why their forests are green and their rivers have crystal-clear waters...
