It can't be. I've seen two rightists here call Ukraine a shithole country.
It was part of the Soviet Union..I've lived there. There are beaten down places to be sure.
I tried making this relatable by doing a thread about Texas, but nothing there compares to this.But many of the cities are magnificent.
That was actually one of my Geoguessr locations!Taras Shevchenko National University in Kyiv....
As if that would justify Russia invading them too, lol.It can't be. I've seen two rightists here call Ukraine a shithole country.
I'm something of a Geoguesser enthusiast myself.That was actually one of my Geoguessr locations!

White wars
The war in Ukraine joins a sequence of wars that have opened sores on a very fragile planet. Wars in Africa and Asia seem endless, and some of them are rarely commented upon with any feeling in media outlets across the world or in the cascade of posts found on social media platforms. For example, the war in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which started in 1996 and which has resulted in millions of casualties, has not elicited the kind of sympathy from the world now seen during the reporting on Ukraine. In contrast, the startlingly frank comments from political leaders and journalists during the conflict in Ukraine have revealed the grip of racism on the imaginations of these shapers of public opinion.
It was impossible recently to get major global media outlets interested in the conflict in Cabo Delgado, which grew out of the capture of the bounty of natural gas by TotalEnergies SE (France) and ExxonMobil (U.S.) and led to the deployment of the French-backed Rwandan military in Mozambique. At COP26, I told a group of oil company executives about this intervention—which I had covered for Globetrotter—and one of them responded with precise accuracy: “You’re right about what you say, but no one cares.”
No one, which is to say the political forces in the North Atlantic states, cares about the suffering of children in Africa and Asia. They are, however, gripped by the war in Ukraine, which should grip them, which distresses all of us, but which should not be allowed to be seen as worse than other conflicts taking place across the globe that are much more brutal and are likely to slip out of everyone’s memory due to the lack of interest and attention given by world leaders and media outlets to them.

You mean NATO right?
Even though its far from a perfect democracy, it is one and that makes it worth defending.
