People are dying in Yemen every single day, and the world doesn't exclude Saudi Arabia from everything. The double standard happens right now even.

Once the war in Ukraine is over, maybe there's an opportunity here to focus a boycott on them ?

But can you bet on what will actually happen though? Because I can. Western democracies are pretty selective on which dictatorships and failing democracies they decide to pay attention to.

Yeah, there are certainly a potential issues there,

but I'm coming at this from the recent feelings of shame from realizing that what I'm feeling now about my friends and family in Ukraine - while I didn't do anything except speaking out against it when (for instance) the war in Libya broke out - so what moral standing do I have now in asking even those Russians that do NOT have friends and family in Ukraine to potentially wreck their own lives to stop this war ?

Hence (I hope) I'll act more about these issues in the future, and hopefully I'm not the only one.

I wouldn't count on that.

The war in Yemen started first. Why should we be focused on Ukraine when the war in Yemen isn’t over?

We probably shouldn't, but we already are.
