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.
My brother is chalking up the Ukraine conflict to Putin wanting "lebensraum"
This is what watching cable news gets you I guess
Russia, famously overpopulated and land-poor
Edit: Its funny how for the libs Russia is simultaneously a gas station masquerading as a country AND running out of gas
Russia is the country that has the least need for lebensraum on the planet! Climate change is gonna thaw those tundras and make them hospitable! Burning coal is just giving them more room!
What Russia does want are non-ice coastal ports, to be fair, but equally, if the Arctic ice is gone then that problem also solves itself.

Are we forgetting Greenland?
Edit: and Antarctica
The real reason for trump plans to buy greenland is to get lebensraum :very-smart:
Canada is a ferocious boreal hellscape inhospitable to man and the machines that sustain him.
