Just took me back to the opening of the Ukraine war with CNN talking heads going “this isn’t some mud hole in the Middle East, these people look like us!”

Bleak to think that the line back then was "the first war this century between civillized countries" which was already racist as fuck, and since that time we've regressed to "Russia is orc"
