The world doesn't care unless the problem is on their doorstep.

@froggtongue that's not entirely true. They cared about Ukraine, they care about 9/11 outside of the US and the way that's measured is usually by recognition. People don't even begin to accept the premise that innocents are dying because there's a collective "us and them" mentality where one holds less value. Oh, people are dying in Lebanon and Palestine?? Well what did they do to deserve it?

@HijabaDabbaDoo War in Ukraine is at Europe's doorstep.
And even there, people barely cared and what was sent is decommissioned hardware that was stockpiled and ready to be sent to a junkyard instead, with absurd restrictions like "you can only use this to shoot targets within your territory".
