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.

Yesterday's discussion post.
Uhhhh i'm pretty sure that widespread adoption of using (and arming!) civilian watercraft by Ukraine would just lead to the Russian navy concluding that any and all naval traffic be considered a potential threat, which would only make the blockade WORSE you fucks i stg
Not to mention a lot of innocent sailors getting blown tf up, but i'm sure the dipshit who wrote that slop would be fully happy with that outcome, given that they'd have the chance to pin more atrocities on Russia's uNpRoVoKeD aGgReSsIoN
Sounds like encouraging terrorism to me
Sorry Jack, they don't look like terrorists
:biden-troll: :us-foreign-policy:
Just to make the point clear, there is no actual Russian blockade. Russia already committed to safeguarding the commercial vessels that want to leave.
The issue was always that Ukraine mined their own ports so the ships can't leave. Ukraine also refuses to de-mine the ports using their fear of a Russian attack as an excuse. The reality is Ukraine and the west want Russia to be blamed for the fictional Ukrainian grain crisis so as to serve as a scapegoat for the global food crisis.
This is the same shit as when people get sent out armed in minimal identification.
Remember when Zelensky was handing out rifles to everyone who could walk and then people complained about Russia shooting civilians?
“Delightful capability” …….
