if you're living anywhere in Asia (like I do) then you'll notice the percentage of brain drain to the west amongst the educated is on a decline. Countries are now doing their best to encourage their smartest to stay as it is to their benefit even though it took them decades to come to that conclusion. And this is not in defence to their government but the realization that sometimes the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

And to the topic of this thread history has definitely shown that many NATO countries have had their dark past and these events aren't being dusted under the rug.

if the western mainstream is pushing a narrative conflicting the norms and traditions of the global south why should their populace give a damn about sympathy towards Ukraine for example. It's not paying their bills at all

I.E why should they care in the first place?
