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.
Who is even going after him like that? Despite what westerners might think, Dugin is an irrelevant crank in his own region
Probably western spooks who believe their own bullshit and think he’s Putin’s puppet master
Yeah doesn't make sense from Putin's side. Considering the old spooks like Mearshimer and Kissinger are repeatedly going all red flag on the Ukraine support, it seems like the new generation of spooks has fully bought into the bullshit they've been spinning
I mean, who do you think? Apparently not irrelevant enough to avoid car bombings
deleted by creator
nope , i think it was just a easy hit for the CIA or what , Also nobody is as obesessed with Dugin then the Western Russia Watcher Circles , so only in Western Mind this is a Devastating blow towards Putins "Brain" .
In a way it's good that the upper echelons have swallowed their own propaganda. It leaves them chasing the equivalent of Alex Jones because they think he's a secret puppet master.
If they want the govt to take more hard-line approach, just wait until Ukraine started attacking the Crimean bridge, actually they should push it already after the Ukrainian army attacking their border, and bunch of saboteur attack. Don't need to hit Dugin for it.

Damn, drunk enough for that to make sense
Maybe Putin? Dugin is a bad influence on Russia and possibly a threat to Putin. Killing him and making it look like an american op would be good for Putin by weakening the influence of fascist and rileing them against the west.
lol
He’s not a threat to Putin anymore than Alex Jones is a threat to Biden
He’s not really a threat to Putin, but his reactionary ideology is a severe problrm
Nevertheless, they need to tighten up their security because this look like text book three letter agency assasination.
