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.
Personal observation from using euros after not having to in a while, it's fallen a ton, like a good 5-10% feels like so yeah, oh also southern france is rationing water now because of the super severe drought which is not good for the people of course but also might impact farm yield and france is a major food exporter to western african nations, so cool zone shit happening I guess.
Yeah, it really feels like the climate crisis isn't coming, it's here, and yet we're going backwards into using coal because fossil fuel industries have strangled renewable or sustainable energy efforts for decades and it's all coming home to roost
The accelerationists are living in their golden age now lol
