It's almost as if you don't comprehend that Syria is a theatre that contains both the US and Russia who both have nukes. Ukraine does not have nukes. In Ukraine, there is only Russia and Ukranians. In Syria, we have at least Turkey, the US and Russia all engaged in direct combat with at least a dozen NATO countries having troops stationed there.

The rebels in Syria can't destroy the planet with nukes... and neither can the rebels in Ukraine. The conflict in Syria has a higher likelihood of pulling in NATO members considering NATO is already in Syria, with Russia, the US and Turkey all engaging in direct combat there.

> Quite literally, this single act of Russia's could have the potential result of turning entire planet into ash, or dragging 100 countries to war, or seeing a new empire carved out.

Except none of that is true. You know, because Ukraine is not a part of NATO and there are literally no NATO forces in Ukraine?

It's funny how you seem to ignore that NATO nations are already engaged in war with Russia's proxies in Syria -- in some cases seeing direct confrontation -- but somehow Ukraine is the one that matters. But it's not about race.

> This invasion, this single act, could result in billions dying.

The single act being invading a country filled with fair skinned Caucasians, you mean.

> But sure, it's all just about race.

Considering the pearl clutchers happily armed the rebels in Syria and supported its partition, and are now crying doom and gloom when Russia does the same in Ukraine, then it is about race.

Let me know when the Polaks on the far right start kicking up a stink about the European refugees about to enter the country and you'll hopefully start to see it's all about ethnicity.
