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.
Western libs usually scoff and roll their eyes when you mention Ukrainian Nazis. I even had one say “enough about the Nazis already” while still trying to discuss Ukraine.
They don’t take Nazism seriously because they never paid the price for their genocides and slaughter. They think Nazi is a fun insult to toss at Chuds but don’t really think of them as an existential and real threat.
Russians lost 27 million to Nazism within living memory, and they are seeing those same exact demons arise again from the west.
These fuckers talked no stop about how Trump was literally Hitler, but when Jews in another country are literally being threatened by actual Nazis, they say "enough about the nazis already". Jesus christ I hate them so much
I think there's a lot of truth to the west never having the full Nazi experience (it was still fucking horrible though). Poland is an interesting exception though, they were absolutely devastated by the Nazis and suffered immensely, yet they are s or me of the banderites' most rabid supporters today.
Poland got too much of the Nazi experience if you know what I mean. All of the best Poles died in WW2, leaving only the collaborators alive
