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.
