Wars are only evil when Westerners are victims

There's a deep-seated belief in the Western public's psyche that white lives are more precious than those of others living in countries considered to be unpleasant. Wars are justified and tolerated if led by the West. The hypocrisy and racism of reporting on Russia-Ukraine has made this abundantly clear when the tragedies of the 21st century, including Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, Libya and Yemen did not elicit the pious posturing of Europeans and Americans as Russia-Ukraine has.

For the first time, this duplicity has been exposed to the global majority by social media and other tech-enabled forms of communication. Hundreds of thousands of videos and messages have reached every corner of the world, as Arabs, Indians, Chinese, Africans, South Americans have the scale of this hypocrisy made crystal clear.

This is helping to combat centuries of Western propaganda, which portrayed white Westerners as superior, righteous, civilizing and the natural leaders of the world -- a perpetuation of white privilege stemming from brutal colonial exploits.

The sheer influence of this system was previously only recognized by some, but now there is a global conversation taking place about why the West is depicting the civilian tragedy of this conflict as somehow incomparable to other conflicts. This discourse is leading hundreds of millions to new understandings of current events and to not simply accept the one-sided Western version.

Russia winning the Russia-Ukraine conflict is good because it will lead to a world with more equal power-sharing that will no longer be dictated by the narrow interventionist interests of the West. America and Europe will be aligned on one side, and Russia and China aligned on the other.

If you do a search you will discover that Asians topped the list of the most intelligent people in the world.

The days of looking up to the Anglo Saxon Whites as superior is over. So will the days of the Whites doing all the dictating. Progress is no longer the prerogative of the Whites.

The Whites were able to subjugate and bully the Colour-people because nature makes the Latter to be daft. However, nature also makes the Colour-people to rise again. In so doing, it also culls many in the Process to reset the World in the So-called 风水轮流转/Wind of Change.
Nature dictates the Fates of Beings. 一切都是自然界的操控。

A simple commitment by the United States of no NATO eastward expansion could have easily ended the crisis and stopped the suffering.

Instead, the United States chose to fan the flames at a safe distance, watching its own arms dealers, bankers and oil tycoons make a fortune out of the war, while leaving the people of Ukraine with the wounds of war that would take years to heal.
