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.
Ah yes, news. Something is happening in China. I feel so informed.
Worse than that, when China is consistently growing every year they are faking the data, but when China is crashing then the SEESEEPEE data is suddenly very reliable and shows a clear picture of why zero COVID is bad and why the world is trying to move on but China just isn't letting millions of people die yada yada.
Geez just let them die for shareholder value how hard of a concept is that
Yeah, I specifically try and put articles like that next to each other just to show that there's fairly frequent disagreements in reporting between MSM sources but often both articles spin it as anti-China or whatever because the facts don't actually matter to liberals, it's just the vibes. Like, keeping up the Ghost of Kiev even though many of them sorta realized that it wasn't true, to "maintain morale". Which is what makes the whole fact-checking trend of the last 6 years so funny.
Thank you for your service
