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 last thing we read before nuclear oblivion will be a Lockheed Martin tweet saying “spilling that tea” with an image of an ICBM launch

        I can't wait until 2026 when President Harris nukes Tehran with a missile carried by a jet with a woman pilot flying it, with the last statement by the White House twitter account being "Little Boy. Fat Man. Girl Boss."

        leading to the complete collapse of human civilization within 24 hours as the logic of MAD runs it course

      We've moved on from western fast food twitter accounts being run by desperate middle-class online failsons looking for a job in the decaying economy to literally every brand being ran by them.

      We are less than a year away from the official Goldman Sachs twitter account saying "Hey guys. looks like the US is now in a #recession! We're starting off our #Spotify playlist with themed songs! What should be first on our list!"

      We are less than a decade from a twitter spat between Central Asian nations' official twitter accounts about years-long droughts, calling eachother reddit-tier insults like "shitgoblins" and being like "Well, if you didn't melt the last #glacier in your country then maybe we wouldn't be in this situation, you Uzbek cockcanoes!" while millions of people migrate west in search of drinkable water
