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.

    Is there an ejection clause in NATO at all? I'm guessing Turkey would back off before that but it'd be funny to see Turkey gum up NATO expansion for awhile.

      They kind of like having Turkey in the US sphere of influence. Throwing a tantrum and sending them into the arms of Russia would be incredibly geopolitically stupid.

        Indeed. But doing incredibly geopoliticallly stupid things seems to be in vogue for the West rn.

        Could we throw a tantrum and shove the Turkish leadership in to the Bosphorus? Remember when the Right was droning on about "Islamo-Fascism" a decade or so ago? That's more or less what's actually going on in Turkey under Erdogan.
