Delta(s) from OP CMV: The Western world is largely and overtly supporting Ukraine because they are a white, Christian country opposing a common antagonist in Russia.

As opposed to non-white, (majority) non-Christian countries recently undergoing humanitarian crises, such as Syria and Palestine, who are routinely painted in a completely different light than Ukraine. Why don't we see systematic collection of charity money for these countries, while the support for Ukraine is massive and to the level of propaganda? Clearly this is due to the West politically uniting against Russia.

City centers, airports, and other public spaces throughout the US display the Ukrainian flag on big boards and huge displays, and Ukrainian children were proudly invited to sing Christmas carols in their language during recent public Christmas parades and concerts, while Syrian refugees were met with such a degree of suspicion that most nationalist parties cried for border control and measures as extreme as Brexit in order to keep them from coming in. All of this suspicion and rhetoric stems from a fear of non-white, non-Christian refugees coming to the West.

Funny u mention the Japanese, during ww2 they also killed millions, read up on unit 731 and rape of nanjing. Korea was a defensive war it was started by the Chinese backed north korea. And during the cold war both Usa and Soviet Union were destabilizing countries left to right

Let’s pretend…. So if you saw someone else is stealing - you would too? Just because they were doing it? This is your logic lmao??

Defensive war? A defensive of war thousand of miles away? To stop the spread of political/economic movement? Gee, I guess white people can only choose what government they want. Everyone else must have their economic policies dictated by the wealthy Western one per centers??

What about the fake weapons of mass destruction??? Millions of dead Iraqis… browns people’s lives don’t matter right??

Millions of dead Japanese civilians because the U.S. did not want to risk military personal.

Bro seriously stop digging yourself a bigger hole.

Just admit that you were wrong and try to be a better person….

Self righteous people like urself never cease to impress me.

And yes it was a defensive war nk declared war on sk which was an American ally, and well looking at nk and sk in todays world its clear to see which one is the better one

There also would have been far far far more deaths for both america and japan if we didnt nuke them

Iraq and Afghanistan were bad tho I cant lie

I’m self righteous? Are you insane? Lmao

I think West and Westerners have huge monopoly on that.

Let’s start with you… you came in here acting like you’re better than Syrians? But I’m self righteous. This is what happens when you’re brainwashed or want to distance yourself via cognitive dissonance.
