This is worth a read, an interview with Fiona Hill, US national security analyst:

The first line is "he's trying to take down the entire world order". But the only reason there's any interest, and action, from the "West" is that he's attacking white people. The world order is Saudi Arabia - Yemen, Israel - Palestine, Ethiopia - Tigray etc.

You may think it's amusing, but you're in the east. Poland had a massive demonstration at the weekend, so did Berlin. In the UK a few people turned up in Trafalgar square, and wasn't there a survey posted on here where over 60% think we shouldn't get involved? Hardly anyone gives a fuck about Ukraine, unless their cleaner is upset...
And the liberal, artsy types I follow in the USA, are totally ignoring the situation, or if anything stating the hypocrisy of the west, and even mentioning USA - Iraq/Afghanistan.

And I'm a right-on lefty, who is pissed that there's still a thread on here enabling cheap products from China for people who happily ignore the human rights abuses going on in that country.
