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.

Last week's discussion post.
What's up with all the buildings on fire in Russia? Sabotage by 3 letter agencies? Genuine dissatisfaction of the Russian people? Or is it just overemphasis by Western media for propaganda purposes?
would say its propaganda , overemphasis .. but i heard a lot about food stuff productions in the US burning down as well so maybe there is a hyper arsonist element to that war..
Insurance has "Fire Covered" under Standart policy and its a economic downturn so ... never attribute t russia what can be explained by Insurance fraud..
Propganda is my guess

I don’t know but I’m sure it would be possible to discover the number of industrial fires per month over 2021 and compare to now.
I suspect many of the fires are simply the fact fires happen but they’re being amplified by western media to paint a picture of a French resistance style uprising.
A couple at least nearer to the Ukraine border do seem to have likely been saboteurs but to make a case for a trend, that’s a statistical question based on frequency now compared to the background level of expected fires.
