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.

Telegram Channels

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

    Perhaps it has something to do with pay? Just maybe?

    Or the millions of people with long covid. Or companies doing scams in order to avoid hiring people(e.g PPP loan scam) in order to justify higher prices and profit margins driving inflation.

    Our new research report provides a global assessment of the quality of national elections around the world from 2012-21, based on nearly 500 elections across 170 countries. The US is the lowest ranked liberal democracy in the list. It comes just 15th in the 29 states in the Americas, behind Costa Rica, Brazil, Trinidad & Tobago and others, and 75th overall.

    While the US ranking is pathetc and funny this whole premise is stupid though, the US is not more or less corrupt than Brazil the place where they coup the president and then jailed the front running candidate so that the right wing fascist with support of the capitalist class would win. But realy ranking democracies is just :brainworms: imo.

    Russia seeing success in Ukraine after months of failure, analysts say — but don’t expect it to last long

    Time to move the slider.

    "Ukraine is going to win, this war is a massive blunder, Putler is an idiot."

    "Russia is too slow, the war should be over in 2 weeks, this is not Iraq 2.0, the Russian military is pathetic and weak. Ukraine is winning look at [insert random story about soldier eating dog or 200000 tanks lost]".

    "Ok Russia is actualy winning, but they were losing before! :rage-cry: I'm not owned and also they will lose trust me." <----

    "Russia wins military victory while Ukraine holds on to diplomatic victory by refusing to negotiate with Putin."

    "How Ukraine lost the war but won the hearts of people around the world. We should learn and respect from the heroic sacrifice of the defenders of the Free World against the forces of Evil™."
