I have been outraged over Syria, but the solutions are far less clear. What solution are you proposing there?
I think the solution is pretty clear. US needs to pack up and leave Syria. US is occupying Syria completely illegally and stealing their national resources as we speak. There is zero justification for what US is doing under the international law.
Because Syria was attacking its civilians who were demanding the release of a teenage boy.
This is also your lemmygrad account. Why make a new account when lemmy.ml doesn’t block lemmygrad?
Again, there is no justification under the international law for invading Syria. US attacks civilians all the time, and has one of the highest murder rates of civilians by the domestic security forces in the world.
On a completely unrelated note, I just like having a separate account to keep instances separate in my head. I prefer posting on Lemmygrad using the local account there, and I subscribe to a different set of communities. It helps me compartmentalize things in my head.

The US military started shooting its citizens? Really now?

But Lemmy compartmentalises anyway. Seems to me you’re pushing an agenda judging from your post history.

Russians have blue eyes and blonde hair too…? Congrats on the friends but maybe also try thinking a bit
Russians are the ones invading. The point you’re replying to is that it’s taboo to invade countries with white people, not that white people can’t be criticized. Russia is being criticized in the west because they invaded a country with people who have blue eyes and blond hair.
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.

My point was about Russians, you linked stuff about Ukrainians (and dumb reporters). Don’t send me to research your points for you
