This is what I’m talking about. Look PPs need to just be clear and say things with their chest. Don’t say “have this reputation” and “perhaps”.

Use honest terms. “Are” is more clear and accurate if you sub it for the above phrases.

It’s funny that Ukraine will get EU membership before Turkey for example even though Turkey is doing more than almost anyone to save Ukrainians with drones.

Why? It isn’t because of gdp/per capita (Turkey is a basketcase but richer even on that metric).

It is because of looks and Islam.

I don’t have a horse in this either way, I’m just curious why people can’t be clear and honest about these things.

What will be interesting is as the US becomes more brown and diverse, as a body politic, it’ll start to Very slowly change American foreign policy that was par for course in the post ww2 era.

I can tell you that average black and brown people (who are not in the dc space) are pretty tuned out to what’s happening in Ukraine.

I don't know about black people but brown people simply aren't involved in (interested in) political issues, generally.  At the domestic or foreign level.  So I wouldn't expect them to care about this, one way or the other.

Does that mean that the United States shouldn't care?  Or that citizens shouldn't care?   [/quote]

No. But I am saying as the US becomes browner (a fact), it’ll be very interesting to see the gulf between voters and dc increase when it comes to foreign affairs.

This just isn’t a Ukrainian thing either. Usa-israel policy will 100% shift due to this as well.
