If it worked for Ukraine maybe it will work for Ethiopia. What is the reason why one receives huge amounts of money and the others don't?

I also have no idea what is happening in Ethiopia but if it is a war I assume that another wave of immigrants from there will march in to Europe demanding stuff.

Ethiopia doesn't have the embezzlement infrastructure that Ukraine has. The big guy won't get his 10%.

  • The EU is concerned about Russian aggression.

  • The US cares about promoting democracy and pro-West countries over authoritarian ones.

  • Nobody gives a shit about black people killing black people, not even when it happens in the US, so why would they care when it happens in a place nearly everyone couldn't point out on a map?

I do not know enough about Ethiopia to know if this is the case or not.

Most people in the US could not point to Ukraine on the map either.

If the US cared so much about Russian aggression then why are they not pushing for peace talks?

However, I was not trying to make a point about Ukraine but I was speaking from the point of view of the Ethiopians, if one country can milk money out of the US despite the US not being directly involved then why can't other countries? At the very least you are going to try.

You make a good point. Although the blocking traffic tactic was used by blm and they didn’t seem to care.

If it wasn’t already clear by now - if liberals didn’t have hypocrisy and selective empathy, they would have nothing at all…

There’s all manner of reasons why they “cared” about BLM, and they don’t care about Tigray. Not a single one amounted to actually caring about the “plight” of black people…

Russia is losing, so "peace talks" benefit Russia since any "peace talks" could only result in Russia keeping its gains. If Ukraine was losing and peace talks were beneficial to Ukraine, then the US would support them.

Stopping Russian aggression means inflicting the greatest punishments and losses on Russia in order to teach them a lesson they won't forget.

if one country can milk money out of the US despite the US not being directly involved then why can't other countries?

Because no US interests are at stake in Ethiopia, unlike Ukraine. Ethiopia is a civil war.

If you want to argue that the US doesn't promote democracy at all, you've been living under a rock and know nothing of geopolitical history of the past 70 years.

2022 - 70 = 1952, which is exactly 1 year before Operation Ajax. How ironic. You should have waited until January to say that.
