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.

    Russia can’t go faster cause:

    A) ukraine still has s300, and russia hasn’t planned for dealing with their own anti air systems in their doctrines

    B) ukraine gets full recon from the west, so there can be no surprise attacks with large scale movements of heavy weaponry

    C) the state of russian spetznaz is not so great to do deep sabotage/the fortified regions are impenetrable to this in any case

    D) russia hasn’t learned railway bridges locations in ukraine

        This guy is a known doomer, he always takes the least charitable interpretation of every event for Russia

        Explain why donetsk gets shelled by m777/caesars? Maybe some large air transport brought them there? :puzzled:

            How did they get from poland all the way to donetsk? :soviet-hmm: how do shells get delivered? :soviet-hmm: some logistics mysteries science just can’t answer

                The truly perplexing thing is that comi is supposedly Russian. Not sure how he ends up having takes that are more anti-Russia than the western mainstream media though. Like even Washington Post and CNN are starting to admit openly that Ukraine is losing the war badly

                  I really enjoy watching you, probably Hexbears most pro-russia poster, spar with Comi, hexbears most anti-russian poster. It brings back the fuzzy feeling from when I still had fun on Twitter and Reddit.

                    I give comi a hard time, but if he’s really Russian I don’t mind him criticizing the Russian government as much as a westoid doing it. At least it’s not chauvinism

              Shells don’t really get delivered. Russia is firing 500,000 artillery shells per day and Ukraine is firing around 5,000
