People care more about wars when millions of refugees come to your country (same with Syria) and especially when it's a country you are befrinded with.

I did also hate how Yemen got destroyed without anyone really talking about it more than once in a while but it's still not surprising that this got a much bigger attention especially in Europe obviously since it's an European country directly on EU's border.

It does obviously get more attention because Russia attacking Ukraine shows other European countries like Estonia what could happen to them.

You must be pretty confused If you don't see the difference and why this is obviously way more concerning for Europeans and also other NATO members

It's not only about the humanitarian crisis but also what this could mean for the rest of Europe if Russia would just roll over Ukraine.

The situation in Yemen was/is even worse (yet) but it's much less of a danger for the rest of the world.

And btw, using a thread which ist about Russia attacking another country to complain about the Western countries is Whataboutism. Trying to blame the West for something in another country which has nothing to do with Russia murdering Ukrainians just to let it sound as if Putin isn't so much different as many others. 

It's like "well can't deny what Putin does so let's just find bad stuff about the West as well" - Whataboutism

All good points. The close ties between Serbia and Russia had slipped my mind. In the same vein, Armenia has had to get closer to Russia since the 2020 war or else it risks annihilation against Azerbaijan.

But in terms of military effectiveness I don’t see what they will bring besides numbers and troops that aren’t Russian for Putin to use.

Nope, it doesn't take away from any issue at hand. Ukraine and Ukrainians will get all the support and love they deserve regardless, because of the nature of the invader no more.

In fact, it is the best time to highlight the west's hypocrisy, when the normies, the idiots and the ignorant senes are heightened. Enjoy.

Good on you for acknowledging, one step away from immaturity. The next step is to acknowledge that you're a hypocrite as well for caring a lot more up about this invasion than western backed monstrosities, and that the only reason you are this fired up for Ukraine because the media lit a match under your bum rather than your innate goodness.

Fucking puppets.

The reason is usually the west has semi justifiable reasons for starting wars.
Russia doesnt have any justification for this.

Lets just call this BS.  You do not get to decide what one person cares about just because you throw some virtue BS in the thread.  I highly doubt you are really as concerned about other conflicts as much as you project but instead want to get that old superior feeling going calling out hypocrisy when I doubt you check your own.  If this is a conflict that stirs Ryuu then so be it.

Anyone who has payed any attention to the world understand how all nations work in their best interest or in some respect personal interest.  Even your comment is a self gratifying attempt to prop up yourself then anything else.  "Oh I see the world for what it is" PLEASE.  Go somewhere with that crap.  You do not know anyone on this thread anymore than the next guy down the street.  Stop acting like you actually know someone and what stirs them to any event.  Maybe if you are looking for hypocrisy you best to look first within.

Every single person has bias, favoring some things over others. And limiting the current focus on Ukraine to simply race is absurd. The west has many things more in common with Ukraine than Yemen. History, religion, system of government, various aspects of culture (clothing, music, sports), etc. Ukraine is also a European country, which hasn't had war on its soil much in the past half century, whereas the Middle Eastern nations have basically just been a land of ceaseless wars for our entire lives.

All persecution, genocide, and wars are things we should strive to stop, but of course some hit closer to home than others. I'd imagine many in the Middle East aren't terribly concerned or empathetic towards the Ukrainians either. We all have bias.

This'll send shivers down your spine. Here's a Russian veteran getting a little too real for domestic TV about the cost of the war in Ukraine. Check out how he's treated.

I’d like to hope your interpretation is true but I’m less optimistic.

I’m unsure though what the immediate impact of this would be - on Russia, on the war and the knock-on effect on others.
