Avram,
Your new Post has hit the target.
However, I disagree with the position that the media created the narrative either by not covering each side equally or by not covering the cause for the buildup.
The reality of the situation has created it.
And the global “cancel culture” is not due to any pressure but due to what the world sees as a Megalomaniac Dictator who after having bitten off Crimea and other Ukrainian lands, decided he wants the whole country no matter how many people will die and suffer.
I reported on the numbers of refugees that this invasion has caused (over a million and a half) and the countries that share a border with Ukraine (Poland, Hungary, Slovakia, Moldova , Romania ) and others (including Israel) that have graciously taken them in.
It is not due to any pressure, media or cancel culture. It is due to a fellowship of humanity.
The world does not want a WW3. Putin definitely wants a WW3. Or at least doesn’t care if he is the
cause of it.
I also disagree with your definition of cancel culture.
Sanctions on enemy countries has been a long standing policy in Foreign Affairs. There are many countries that it is illegal to do business with. (Iran, the Taliban , NK for example.)
TL;DR,
Sometimes the situation might be complex and have a long history but the current affairs are very simple. An evil psychopath unleashed an invasion that has caused an enormous amount of harm in the world.
