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.

      the Azov Regiment – which has a history of far-right leanings but is now part of the Ukrainian army

      It is amazing how Ukraine can fix Nazism by simply incorporating them in to the army. We need to figure out how they do that.

        It's actually quite easy to cure Nazism. All you've got to do is to have the Nazi touch Zelensky or another token Jew and they will instantly be transformed into wholesome defenders of liberal democracy.

      The Globe & Mail was literally run by a fascist at one point who wanted Canada to stop public vote and have corporations run the government back around the 1920s, IIRC.
