Russia Invades ukraine

[muttley9050]

Always confuses me how we are so selective about the wars we talk about in the media etc.

No one seems to care that in the last few days Saudi have put about 40 air strikes into Yemen

Or Israel have air struck Damascus,

Or the USA continue to air strike Syria. Edit Somalia sorry.

When was the last time you saw any of these things in the news?

Not making headline news anymore but is still reported.....

 

Old news as  its  stuff thats being dragging on for many yrs  V  an invasion  thats only  days old.

 

Also the large scale of the conflict and the associated impacts on NATO europe UK etc

 

So I don't think its that confusing, also no reporting or news channel is un-bais or agenda free etc.

 

Headline news is a only a limited curated selection of what they think is most relevant.

 

 

 

 

 

Just checked last US airstrike in Syria was 3 yrs ago?

Of course I know that but people bleat on about helping people from Ukraine. People in Yemen been persecuted for years and nobody says a word.

2 us airstrikes in Somalia in last 3 days.

Party gate was obviously so MUCH more important I suppose.

Of course its probably also partly racism. Ukrainians  being "white" christians, but it is closer to europe and a democracy.

 

Somalia and africa in general: do BLM as much to the news reporting wars?.....

 

The oil and  weapons trade betwwen UK  &  Saudi so Yemen is overlooked.....

 

Yemen proxy war between Saudi (seen as western allies 😐) and Iran (allied with russians in Syria)  Shia Sunni internal civil war also

 

Israel gets abit a free pass due to history...
