I used to be a Carolina Panthers fan back when I still liked the NFL. To me, the Ukraine/Russia shite is akin to when I used to watch two horrible teams in the AFC play each other. Like, those games had nothing to do with the panthers, the Panthers' division, or the NFC. They weren't even the decent teams of the AFC. So.. I didn't care.
That's a bad analogy because if Russia wins, it will affect you. This whole mindset is built on a lie that, just because this is happening in eastern Europe, that it won't affect the US.

They can't fundamentally understand that the process of globalization is basically complete. It truly is a global village. The whole 'globalism' nonsense is far more about who controls global apparatus than it is about fighting against globalization itself.

We're going to be affected no matter who wins. Ukraine wins, and we'll still smother Russia with restrictions and sanctions in order to isolate them. We may even start targeting countries that aided Russia during the war. There will still be massive aid packages being sent to Ukraine on a regular basis if they win.
We're damned either way. So why worry? Why emotionally invest? Worrying won't change shite because we've zero power to change shite. So, my analogy isn't bad if you accept that we're powerless, and are just treating it as a boring pastime.
