Opinion of Democracies About Russia
My friend:
Not everyone thinks of Russia as a bad boy it seems. Negative views of Russia is limited largely to Western democracies. The Indians have a net positive view of Russia. Negative views of China are more widespread than of Russia. I think public perception of Russia is almost entirely dependent upon what their government thinks, and what the press in their country tells them. The Western leaders are all strongly anti-Russia, and so are the press and media here in contrast to other countries. Is the press in India more pro-Russia? If it is, that would explain the Indian perception of Russia?
My response:
Western democracies (than Asian / African / south american) are very anti Russia because the issue is happening in Europe and in a "white" country.
The same reason why when Finland and Sweden decided to join NATO, everyone (except Turkey) was keen to accept them. While Ukraine was left in limbo for many years.
Meaning there is a pecking order even among white countries. In terms of importance, Scandinavia > Ukraine > say Moldova > Macedonia and so on.
And when it was about Afghanistan, of course USA and UK did try to help. But what was the level of involvement? Was it anywhere like how they are involved in Ukraine?
A second season could be that countries like Afghanistan, Pakistan, Macedonia are hardly relevant to the world order unlike Scandinavia or even Ukraine.

Loyalty - Gun Or Son
When you have a strong loyalty towards some x and then you are told that x was responsible for some horrible event y then your natural reaction is to sympathise with y while distancing x from y. Meaning not condemning x.
It just shows the result of strong loyalty.
X could be gun (as the republicans are reacting to the Texas school killing) or your son who misbehaved with a girl or anything.
