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.

    A lot of Ukrainians don't have a choice. You have 17 year olds being conscripted, given less than a week's training, and then sent to the front. Once at the front they have the fascists embedded into their groups to make sure they don't try to surrender or desert. These kids then die pointlessly to Russian artillery in order to prop up a political illusion. These people are as much victims of the Kiev regime as the people of Donbas and I hope at least some of the Kiev government has to answer for these crimes.

      They have a choice like any conscript does to go to jail or die. Many of the Wehrmacht were conscripts as well, you are repeating clean Wehrmacht arguments.

      Don’t we make this argument with the Vietnam draft all the time? That anyone who didn’t dodge or desert or frag is at least somewhat accountable for the actions of the army they are in, and the state it represents? Are you saying that those who were drafted and served valiantly in Vietnam and are proud of their service aren’t imperialists? Because that’s the equivalent of defending the Ukrainian armed forces.
