Links and Stuff
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.
Breaking out the lathe:
Pelosi goes to Taiwan and is kidnapped and sent to mainland China where she is immediately turned into red mist in a public setting. There are a lot of cell phone videos that circulate online and everyone sees her vaporize into a rapidly dispersing person-shaped cloud of tiny red droplets. China says they have no idea what happened to her and that she just disappeared and accuse USA of a false flag to start WW3. Heavy chest thumping and building up of military and threats of war for six months. Pelosi resurfaces having been through a reeducation camp in Xinjiang but it's just a hologram. Tells the world she was misinformed about the conditions and while it was distressful and uncomfortable it was more humane than any American prison. Says she learned conversational Uyghur but still does not understand Mandarin, before translating the statement into flawless Uyghur and Mandarin. Tells the story of how her cell mate was a radical Islamist jihadist and in 6 months learned to not just respect the Chinese government’s plan but found her place in that plan by becoming a fashion designer. The hologram disapperates into a buzzing formation of red pixels. Twitter "leftists" remark that the display is somewhat "on the nose."
Hoping that Pelosi will postpone World War 3 until after AMD releases their next generation components so I can get my treats
