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.

Our empathy for human suffering is determined by to two factors: Who are suffering and who are responsible for the suffering.
Russians in Latvia are a dehumanised minority, associated with our official enemy and the nationalist Latvian state oppressing them is le epic underdog hero who stands up to ebil Russia. There is no chance in hell westoids are going to give a single fuck about what happens to them.

A third of the Latvian population are Russian-speakers. They have previously been denied basic rights like citizenship and if you are concerned about the fate of minorities you should be really worried about what will happen to them now that Russophobia has been mainstreamed in the west.
Get ready for Latvian de-nazification lol
Keep blowing up Soviet statues Latvia, I fucking dare you
Exactly how would the denazification of Latvia work? If Russia intervenes and stops the nazis, then we have a Russia-NATO war, a war with very high risk of ending organised human civilization.
I know I’m trolling
