I get the feeling that he's moreso responding to the fact that, in this situation, you can't compare the likes of Japan and Cambodia.

Hell, swap Japan for the US - doesn't make so much sense now, does it? It is an incredibly off putting thing to find people thinking that Tokyo is on fire and about to keel over because of what's going on up north, and while I agree with him on that front, I still agree with the parent commenter here about donating somewhere.

In reality, this is all pretty blatantly obvious stuff.
