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.
Neither one makes sense :cat-confused:
If the T-90 is towing, why is the driver buttoned when there's a dude just sitting on the T-80? And I think he's sitting on the opposite fender, but if he's actually sitting on the glacis he'd be massively in the way of any T-80 driver.
If the T-80 is towing, why does the T-90 have its headlight on? But the T-80 has its marker lights on too?
There looks to be dust between the tanks and on the T-80 side, but the video quality is too shit to really be sure. But since this video was released by Ukrainians, the video quality might have been intentionally degraded to hide that.
Both videos look to be at double speed and half framerate for no good reason, but putting them both at half speed the image stabilization in the version with the T-90 towing looks much more natural. But it's hard to tell due to the missing frames.
