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.
Yes the early Ukrainian victories of... uh yes they had Kiev, Kherson, Kharkiv and Mariupol sieged and encircled right from the first week!
But that isn't success enough, by the second and third week the Kherson region was completely taken by the Russians, I mean couldn't how could Russia ever recover from that??!
Why even bother reading this piece of shit garbage anymore when this is the literal first line of the article, I have developed an irrational extreme violent tendency against western "journalists". Send these people to a gulag already.
This was never in doubt for me, I remember saying from the beginning to pay attention to what is happening on the ground and now what media is saying or even what politicians even Putin are promising.
People were skeptical that Putin wanted to denazify Ukraine, and my answer was "it doesn't matter, watch the result of the war and see if that is what happens" and it turned out the Azov battalion is pretty much completely destroyed. Obviously far from the goal but as Ukraine keeps losing troops the number of nazis is dropping.

I'm from Buenos Aires, and I say kill 'em all
I'm a westoid and I don't think your tendency is the least bit irrational. These people are pure garbage.
