Russian invasion of Ukraine

Get real....



When we go to kill, we kill those who aren’t like us. When we go to save, we save those who are like us. It’s designed to generate indifference to the suffering of the “other side” and sympathy for those on “our side”. Racism, no - horrible, yes.

Russia has “justified” killing those like them (Ukrainians) by painting them out to be nazis (so different). It’s not racism. If we were bombing the Ukrainians we’d be making them out to be savages or summit.

Dehumanising our enemy is something we do if they look like us, if they don't look like us it's not necessary, latent racism does that for us.
 
You get real.

War in the Middle East is old news, it happens all the time and gets plenty of coverage, quite rightly.

A full scale war in a European Democracy doesn’t often happen and has far more direct implications to the West.

You could get that compilation from the Middle East and see how they report on their more local conflicts.

It’s part of this self hating white guilt nonsense.

I'd feel sorry for you if the solution to your problem was beyond reach.

But it isn't.

In the middle of a country's fight for survival against an unprovoked aggressor you seem to be spending your time defending the rights of Russian sportsmen, complaining that people aren't accepting that false equivalences are real and looking for possible signs of racism. Putin must love people like you who muddy the waters in democratic countries. Useful idiot is the term, allegedly coined by Lenin, that seems to sum you up as far as this conflict is concerned.

No way I shall be giving the Paralymics any of my time, I hope some of the athletes refuse to compete against both of the countries allowed to compete as neutrals.
