The Dehumanizing Double Standards in Media Coverage of War

[Link]

"My governments"? I'm an Arab. I think this assumption goes to show that you attribute any opposition to Putin's crimes to Western people.

I don't have to be Western to oppose unnecessary wars. If anything, the Middle East's history of struggle with such wars should make it easier for us to empathize with other nations going through the same.

No wants war. But West and Nato forces this on Russia. Russia didn't want this war.

You can reach out a deal and say they won't join NATO and we won't ever allow it but make a neutral state of Ukraine. Nope, you pushed Ukraine to war for a bigger picture, but all your plans will fall.

NATO is a defensive, not expansionary organization. Your paranoid rantings are just about as coherent (not) as your hero's.

Dude there is nothing defensive about NATO. That's on paper only. They wreak havoc everywhere and so why should Russia trust you won't use Ukraine against them. You have no shame causing wars even if most of the population dies like the war you gave green light to Saudi Arabia for Yemen.

And Inshallah Saudi government and all middle-east dictators, when they fall, and it's in the interest for Russia to support Iran and Hezbollah to survive and react and stop these dictators. Then we will see who can sanction who.

I don't think this is accurate: their actions in Iraq were conspicuously invasive. They followed the lies of the Bush administration and aided him in his adventurism.

Your governments can easily stop the conflict but they have bold plans for the world, let's see what the counter plans of God and his forces will be.

Easily? How?

You can listen to your lies that feed your self-esteem, or you can alternatively be sincere to truth and try to enjoin it.

That's based on my own analysis friend. Not lies, not the media.

The only one not seeing the truth here is you. May you find your inner light.

Promises like they won't expand Nato to threaten Russia.

Using all possible pretexts for invasion and threatening Sweden and Finland with military action certainly makes it seem like Putin wanted and still wants war.

Thank God by God's favor I will never help the oppressors or be a voice that praises them.

Why would they promise something stupid like that?

He's in war now. He didn't want it. All praise to God he had the courage to rise for it at the proper moment. Waiting would've been suicide for his people.

Anyone at this point anyone who is an apologist for Putin has blood on their hands.

It would avoid war and Russia would be an ally. You know could've made peace with them and even perhaps got Russia to side with you against Iran. But no... alhamdulilah people see through.

Then I share in the honor of the warriors who stood for defense and resistance against your fascist NATO alliance.

Praising a murderer really isn't a good reflection on anyone's worldview. I hope you reconsider that.

NATO didn't invade, the US did. It doesn't make Putin's excuses right.

Normally, I would post an excerpt from the article, but I don't think it's possible to summarize its message without reading through:

‘Double standards’: Western coverage of Ukraine war criticised

A lot of this prejudice and lack of awareness isn't even from far-right media; a lot of it is from supposed liberals. I'm not sure I would personally put all of it down to white supremacism or deliberate racism, but at best, it's extremely clueless and dismissively ethnocentric.

Yes, there could very well be a double standard at work here. Some people believe that pointing this out means that one approves of Putin's invasion of Ukraine, which nothing could be further from the truth.

I'm reminded of this from George Carlin

Imam Ali (a) called similar. Fighting is needed sometimes. Putin had no choice. You pushed the cat in a corner and expected nothing will happen. That's called blinded by arrogance.

Didn't Russia have it's chance to join NATO?

NATO didn't invade, the US did. It doesn't make Putin's excuses right.

The U.S. was the spearhead, but multiple NATO states sent troops to Iraq as well based on the pretexts the U.S. fabricated about Iraq.

Putin has no excuse for the current invasion. NATO's questionable motives and record of warmongering doesn't change this.
