    Here’s a pretty good summary of the double-standard from media coverage:

    ‘Double standards’: Western coverage of Ukraine war criticised | Russia-Ukraine war News | Al Jazeera

    I don’t think anyone is denying that, and if they are, then they should take a good hard reality check. The reasons for the double-standard also aren’t unknown - the example you gave on Manileños caring more about a potential war in Manila or Luzon vs war that goes on everyday in Sulu is an example that hits much closer to home. It’s human nature.

    Now that we’ve established those facts, what’s the point you’re trying to drive?

    Do we stop caring about the war on Ukraine? Or do we level up the sympathy we have when other non-white countries get involved in war?

    Do we stop sanctioning Russia? Or do we hold the US more accountable when it wreaks havoc on Middle Eastern countries?

    I get it - the West are hypocrites, that’s true. People should take a good hard look at the double-standards and acknowledge it (even here in Tsikot).

    But the reality is there are innocent people being killed right at this moment and the war must stop. Sooner or later people will get desensitized but that doesn’t mean families stop getting caught in the crossfire.

    Kung meron narrative yun western meron din dito sa tsikot.

    The impartial chinese kool-aid narrative is, as always, everything the west do is bad, and even if right, retrace back to history their mistakes to put them down.

    It's not about per issue per se anymore, their must be a counter-argument each time and just run to the past for validation.

    What's funny is that China is an even older civilization than any in the west. If we are not gonna move forward and retrace every effin mistake of a nation, then no one, absolutely no one has moral ascendancy.

    We have to look no further than the Philippines to see an example of how issues are muddled because of ties. Regionalism is so strong, each large "tribe" chide against others. The dilawans vs the DDS and now the reds. There's always that hidden agenda that's blurring the issue and those with selfish and personal interests capitalizes on it massively.

    If you cannot look at it on a per issue basis, whether right and wrong, and just always look at the possible narrative, you're missing the real issue. It just falls into propagandism imho.

    Meaning, back to school muna tayo and listen to our history teacher subject? To know what exactly happened? Hate it because a lot of dates need to memorize…. When was the invasion dates and among the dynaties…. Sana hindi umabot sa adam and eve ang labanan dito… [emoji3577][emoji3577][emoji3577]

    I think putin is stuck at the old era where in literal na pag hindi makuha sa santong dasalan, idaan sa santong paspasan….

    Putin is at his most vulnerable now, in my opinion...

    Kaya kontin squeeze pa sa mga oligarchs or kung hinde maybe give the oligarchs and Russian military deals like Immunity, etc. They will gladly offer Putin's head on a silver platter.

    Bigyan lang ng credible na kapalit si Putin that will be acceptable to them.

    di naman kailangan alam mo ang exact dates

    you just have to know contemporary history

    like Saddam invasion of Kuwait, GWBush invaded iraq, GWBush invaded afghanistan, etc

    no need for dates

    Re: Ukraine -- when biased western media tell you Europe "has never experienced anything like this since WW2"

    kung may alam ka sa contemporary history alam mo di totoo yan (clinton bombed yugoslavia for 78 days)

    para di ka madali madala ng western kool-aid

    ang problema madami walang alam sa history

    kung ano sabihin ng media yan na

    kung gusto ng media magalit ka sa isang tao o lahi o bansa... magagawa nila yun

    Yan din ang ayaw ko sa media… more negative news than the positive…. Trigger itong si media…

    Pagnapalitan na itong u.s/west, mababago na din kaya ang standard language ng earth? Hindi na english, mandarin na… hehehe

    Ready ba talaga mga oligarchs and Russian military to start a nuclear war and end their luxurious lives?

    Bosnia and Serbia experienced far worse bombings thirty years ago. That’s still Europe and 50 years after WW2.

    yun nga

    problema many people don't know history

    so when the media tells them first time nangyari ito sa europe since ww2 naniwala agad

    many probably think europe is always peaceful and wars only happen in sh#thole countries where savages live (and that's probably what western media wanted people to think)

    kaya ganun ang shock and anger ng mga tao "this can't happen here! this sort of thing only happens in afghanistan!"

    My point is can't people just be anti- war especially ngayon panahon?

    Lagi kasi balik sa History when we are just talking about this specific war.

    like i said western-centric kasi ang pinoy

    kung sino kalaban ng mga kano, galit din tayo sa kalaban ng kano

    dahil consumers tayo ng american media, pop culture (movies, TV, music etc)

    sa mga american movies throughout the decades the bad guys are always the russians, islamic terrorists...

    in real life galit tayo kay saddam, kay gaddafi...

    we're not even aware media shaped how we perceive the world

    kung ano sa pagkaalam mo common sa kanila hindi ba turo sayo yan ng western media?

    have you ever read or heard an alternative story?

    many years ago someone asked me sa tingin ko ano reason US invaded iraq

    syempre sabi ko coz saddam's a bad guy bla bla bla (coz i'm a consumer of western media)

    sabi sakin what if it's coz saddam wanted to sell oil in another currency

    kung nangyari yun at sumunod ang ibang oil producing countries, what would happen to the petrodollar system?

    The Bosnian War was primarily a civil war between the two key groups in Bosnia Herzegovina - the Muslim Bosniaks and the Orthodox Bosnian Serbs. The Bosniaks were at a disadvantage since Serbia was supporting the Bosnian Serbs.

    NATO intervened via deliberate air strikes and a no fly zone. This reduced the military capabilities of the Bosnian Serbs as well as punishing Serbia for its participation.

    NATO despite its display of might is not prepared for an all-out war with Russia. In 2008, Georgia triggered the war in Ossetia/Abkazhia but faced the onslaught of the Russian Army. Tbilisi was under siege like Kiev now. NATO did not intervene and left Georgia on its own.

    Well, in a way, the US thrives in global conflict. They opened the 20th century in a war against Spain and almost every few years after that, they played a big part in every major conflict.

    World War 1 (1914 to 1918)
    World War 2 (1939 to 1945)
    Korea (1950 to 1953)
    Vietnam (1961 to 1975)
    Grenada (1984)
    War on Drugs (1970s to 1990s)
    Desert Storm (1991)
    Somalia (1993)
    Bosnia (1995)
    War on Terror (2001-present)
    Afghanistan (2001-2021)
    Iraq (2003-2011)

    war is ugly..it should be avoided at all cost..but sometimes its resorted to just to deliver a message..russias message about this war is simple THERES NO PLACE FOR THEM TO RETREAT BUT TO THE WEST..thats russias way of pushing NATO back

    russia waited 8 years for this NATO PUSH BACK since 2014 after the maidan revolt in ukraine

    the CIA even tried to replicate the maidan revolt in belarus and recently in kazakhstan which all failed due to timely intervention of putin having learned from history of the maidan revolt
