Why is the plight of the Ukrainian people seeming more important than that of the Kurds, Palestinians or Yemeni people?

The time frame, that is why Ukraine is in every headline every day. The Kurds, Palestinians, Yemeni and anyone else that fell through the cracks are just victims of poor timing. If gas was still $1.80 a gallon and inflation was not exceeding the early 70s inflation, Ukraine wouldn't even be a blip on the radar. But, when it looks like the US is in for hard times, the powers that be make sure we see on the news that we have a distraction. We can all look at Ukraine and realize that it could be worse.
