You could as easily say israel would stop bombing palestine if hamas stopped doing terrorist attacks but then were just going back 100 years of back and forth tbh.

Point is that if israel did what you said today, the violence towards them would not stop. And just picking one side and unilaterally ignoring everything bad the other side has done is literally just feeding into this shit

Whose army is going to disarm them? You have a lot of faith in the U.N here to not fuck this up even worse than it is now

Except Georgia and Chechnya didnt get any attention either.

It's a bit reductive to boil the whole thing down to race. Geography has a lot to do with it too, Ukraine being right between the E.U and Russia, and being an absolutely massive country itself.

Politically, Ukraine has been aligning itself more towards western europe for a while, so again the west has a direct interest in supporting its ally.

There are a lot of factors that should be considered together, just picking out one and using that to prop up your own agenda is dishonest.

This btw doesnt mean that I'm absolving all in the west of racism, I'm sure there are many for whom that is the most important factor, but its definitely not the majority.

It also doesnt mean that I think we shouldnt care about Syria, Georgia or Chechnya, I'm simply pointing out that there are more factors at play than race, and i dont think race is as big a factor as this post makes out.
