I am from the Middle East. And to be honest this kind of talk from reporters saying that these horrifying events shouldn't happen in Europe, hinting it should stay in our regions where it 'belongs' makes me sick. It just makes our people feel like they are worth less than a european/western person. It's sad how we have come to a day and age where wars in the Middle East and African countries are not given as much attention as this conflict is. Then again, I am not saying that this conflict does not deserve press, quite the contrary it does! And what humanity is doing for Ukraine is absolutely amazing and I love it, but it aches my heart that we do not receive that much care from these countries eventhough we have gone through a lot more life threatening conflicts in our region :( The reality of our world is sad, the way these news anchors chose to value a human life more than another just because of their birth place and race... :(
First of all: every war and every violently taken life is terrible. But as a European young person: I do relate more to a conflict close to me, than to one on another continent. Everyone does, cause we are able to understand it, we share similar culture and history, we are neighbours. Just because it is more relatable. Also, we Europeans share thousands of years of conflict. After the trauma of two world wars, it was our goal to unite and develope only through diplomacy. Many Conflicts abroad are due to religious or cultural beliefs, which we do not share or even fail to comprehend. It doesn't mean we do not care about other nations and their people. But we still have a handfull to do in growing together and achieving forever peace and avoiding conflict here. This conflict is incredible because it targets a whole continents hard work for peace. It reminds us on WWII and the trauma that sticks to us till these days. It repeats a dark part of history that we believed, would never be seen again. It takes us back to the cold war. It threats the entire world through possible nuclear escalation. It is the declaration of a worldpower, a autocracy, against the believe of democracy. Love from Germany.
True. You get a different perspective when you're on the receiving end of bombs. I feel for the Ukrainian civilians but the media's hypocrisy is sickening.
The majority of us feel what you are saying. Christian from CBS got slammed precisely because of that. Many, if not most people who saw his comments during a live coverage were extremely upset by them, and he had to apologize for it. Sending love, the truth is that we are all citizens of this world, divided by men who just want power.
nobody needs to write a full epic saga to prove they are not racist. Many europeans don't care about africans/muslims because they don't feel they are the same. It's easy to discriminate when you don't feel any bonds to a people/situation. There is nothing to romanticize about it. They just feel superior, even their conflicts are superior (oooh because we don't share the same beliefs that's why we cannot comprehend middle eastern/african conflicts :))) what a lame excuse! unfortunately there are cracks in the masks of humanity
I'm Romanian and i live VERY close to the border. I heard everything from my bed when Russia started its attack. But while i'm VERY proud and happy to see all the romanians showing so much love, support, shelter, food, and any help to refugees from Ukraine, we did NOT react the same when refugees were brought in from middle east. I also heard people using the word "refugee" as if it's describing a disgusting foreigner or something... I love my country but maaannnn the racism is so obvious it hurts. And of course that among the amazing people that offer help there are also some freaking A-Holes that take money from the refugees, promise them shelter and all that, and then run with the money TT
Theirs racism everywhere, leaders use it as an excuse to invade another county and here in the USA 🇺🇸 to punch 🤛🏼 a white guy in the face. We’ve had the knockout game, and before you disagree if you’re white put a red hat on and walk around downtown. You’re going to get hit and or that hat knocked off your head. The left here and media have called trump and his voters NAZIs and racist, turn on CNN now, you will hear it. So I guess the era of denazifing has begun. Covid was due to end in two years as the speculators told us two years ago. Just like 👍 I support build back better cause that’s where I invested my money 💰 I don’t want it but that’s where my money is. Once the moneys down, the show must go on
And yet here I am, a man from an "uncivilized" nation (Iraq) praying for Ukraine cuz I know that having to run for your life is no fun whether you are from a "civilized" or "uncivilized" nation.
@@ayanleyusuf488 I'm sorry, I don't understand the point you're trying to make and I'm afraid you missunderstood my comment. I don't think of Iraq as an uncivilised country and never have I. I'm ashamed of the bias the west holds and the indifference we have shown to the region. That's why I'm glad Trevor addressed that in the segment. And I truly appreciate the compassion in the comment from @Mahdi Salah, even though it pains me he clearly knows what it's like having to run...
Man these uncivilized savages are so barbaric with their smartphones and multi-lingual proficiency. Afghanistan and Iraq are literally home to some of the most important and significant archeological titans like the massive Buddha cliff-faces in Afghanistan, Alexander the greats rapid conquest and settlement in Central Asia. Or literally home to Baghdad, Babylon, Sumer, Or other ancient empires that are so legendary and influential, they have common threads as the influence for all most civilizations west of the ‘kush’ and west of the Atlantic. Also if anyone was uncivilized, my fellow Americans already know of its epicenter; Florida. 🥸
@@TheGhostOf2020 ya'll know that these exact scenes... are happening in Yemen RIGHT NOW. Literally, the Saudis launched another attack just recently. Several HUNDRED THOUSAND have been killed there. Where's the condemnation, the video feeds? Are Yemeni lives worth less to you? Let's not even talk about the million Iraqis killed or the destruction of Libya. And where was the coverage when the so-called separatist UKRAINIANS who merely protest the ousting of their democratically-elected leader were being slaughtered in the thousands?? EIGHT YEARS and you said NOTHING The common thread here seems to be as long as you are NATO or its ally, slaughtering millions is the right thing to do. If you are not, killing even one is a war crime. The hypocrisy is amazing, and SO OBVIOUS. Putin may be wrong to invade, but it sure does reveal how controlled your media is doesn't it? Even your trusted UA-camrs are chomping at their bit to attack the evil russians while being truly oblivious of far worse attrocities going on RIGHT NOW.
I am an African student currently studying in Poland. I’m glad Trevor touched on the racism issue. It is actually surprising how some people over all this have the time to be racist. Foreign students are not being allowed on trains from Ukraine to other countries for safety. There are plenty of videos on this but… surprise surprise, the media is not even covering this. We are always seen as less than. I sympathise deeply with the people of Ukraine. I also sympathise with all other countries all over the world that the world is not really concerned about because they have a darker shade to their skin and it is expected of them like what Trevor said. Just this Sunday, my Uber driver while we were casually speaking on how unfortunate the situation is, told me to my face that Putin should just, and I quote “ Pack up his tanks and GO TO AFRICA,” I do not even think he himself got what he was saying, because this ideology is so ingrained in most people it is actually shocking. He later back tracked when he realised who he was talking to. This shows you that this is a sentiment that a lot of people share. The value of a white man to that of everyone else will always be very different. I do not say this for divide, but just as a note about human nature. Some people’s lives are viewed as above others for some reason. I have come to terms with it. I pray for all those still stuck in this unfortunate situation.
I'm black my brother, but of course they save their own first. Wouldn't you save your kids first and then everyone else's? They are fleeing to save their lives, not to visit Disneyland 🤦
The BBC covers this issue well, as well as Indian mainstream news outlets, and other outlets covering international news. Don't say the media isn't covering it when you could not be bothered to check them out.
There is some coverage but far too little. These comments here already show it's a difficult time to adress another issue. But I'm hoping soon everyone will be treated the same, no matter the colour of the skin
Oh, Trevor. You're the only host of a western show who is brave enough to point at those racist statements by those so-called journalists and pundits. Many thanks to you and our hearts go out to Ukraine...and other nations that were impacted by the same brutal actions of aggressions....even the western-originated ones. Thanks for seeing other nations and refugees as humans, too.
Truth!! Exactly what I have been thinking all week, and only Trevor has brought this up!! My heart goes out to Ukrainians, and I have been thinking a lot about refugees in need all over the world as well ❤️

I even received a message from my carrier saying free calls to Ukraine. Goes to show when companies want to help they can…..and I also feel bad for the regular Russians who will suffer with all this, losing their businesses, jobs, etc
as a middle eastern i already knew that my life seems to worth less than many people who was born in developed countries. i already expected racism. i already knew that my own dictatorship government don't care about me. other politicians don't care about me and i have a lot to deal with. but man hearing what some reporters said about the Ukraine catastrophe really broke my heart... thank you for talking about it. it made me feel better.
Your life is worth just as much as any of ours! We are all the human race, no matter where we are from! You are special and you are valued, never forget! I wish you peace and blessings my friend! Be well, from the United States❤️
I don’t know if your Muslim or not , I want to tell you that Allah loves his believers . It doesn’t matter what the disbelieving people say or think of us , we are the guided ones anyways . And Allah always gives victory to the believers no matter how long it takes. And he always will humiliate the disbelieving tyrants no matter how long it takes . يقول الله عز وجل لا تهنو ولا تحزنو وانتم الاعلون ان كنتم مؤمنين . Allah Almighty says in the Quran “Do not despair and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are believers”.
I'm sorry you have to endure the human experience that way. I hope that in time this looking at the conflict will bring a change of mind a more wholesome humanitarian culture. All in all we are all just specs of dust and only a very few will find greatness but you as a person can find peace within yourself. That is almost the most us humble laymen can ask for peace and prosperity.
Never saw such media coverage when Afghans, Iraqis, Yemenis, were fighting their invaders, even when they weren't heavily armed by multiple friendly countries. Never saw so much coverage of the suffering and tears of the ones being invaded there, neither their acts of heroism to defend their land and their culture.
Control the ppl in Middle East and tell them to stop coming to the west to create attacks or sending threats and acting up on it and they will not be invaded. If Nigeria start breeding movements that come to the US to attack and sending threat and all that, best believe the U.S. is going there if their president don’t control them.. don’t think it’s not going to be the same if Russia sent ppl here to create attacks in the U.S.
Get over yourselves. Always gotta make the US look bad. No matter what’s going on y’all are worried about them being so bad, and about “Yemen, Iraq, war crimes, etc.” stop letting your feelings and egos get in the way and worry about the ones suffering for once. I understand with your ignorance it’s too hard but better learn late than never
Thank you for pointing out the racism, I am amazed with all of it. We are all humans and we must be treated as we are...the same no matter where we come from.
So you’re saying we’re all humans and should be treated the same?! Wow! Mind blown! No one has eve known that till you so bravely pointed it out. You’re a genius.
1 reporter in my country said: "we were a group of about 400, with many children, and we're not talking about normal kids we r used to see like those in developing countries like in the Middle east or Africa!! No! And this is very important! :They are blonde and blue eyed children!" Literally what he said. I almost barfed *rtat (right there and then).
TV news: we’re so used to see things like this involving brown people… excuse me, panicking fleeing Ukrainians, can you put on some spray tan bronzer so this looks better on TV?”
As a middle eastern, my heart is truly broken by those remarks. It's not that I don't expect racism, I just didn't expect it on the biggest news medias out there. It seems that war is only bad when it's happening to white people.
what about Ireland and the Balkans? What about the fact that this is the largest country in Europe? What about the fact that people were very racist against Ukrainian people all around the world before their fierce resistance and modern city was broadcast on TV?
@@bobherkey260 We spent the last week checking the news every few minutes and we are in pain with the Ukrainian people, my mother cries at the news and people don't stop talking about it on social media, we were never racist towards Ukrainians and we understand war real well, we know how much destruction it can cause and how lives are made cheap by bigger and bigger weapons. We know! It's just sad to see how the global media forgets where civilization started and just because we have unique cultures doesn't mean we're uneducated savages who deserve war. We bleed for them to thrive. Look at Palestine and Afghanistan and Syria and tell me those people deserve it and there's nothing to be done about the situation! The whole world teamed up against Russia and I think they can do the same to stop war crimes committed elsewhere.
@@zissou2265 I completely agree with you. I watched a documentary on the Afghanistan war and it was really sad how the United States destroyed Afghanistan in the name of dominance against Russia and how it literally used religious rhetoric to get extremists to fight against Russia. Afghanistan used to have beautiful cities and only in the countryside- like in all countries more so-called extremists existed. I don't really know as much as I should about Afghanistan, but that's what I kind of remember. I also get really frustrated by the hypocrisy in the United States and all around the world with the status-quo social constructs and public narratives. I completely agree that all people in the world deserve the same type of help as Ukraine is getting. As a white Polish-American, though, I get frustrated when seemingly ignorant commenters- definitely not you, write comments focusing on racism in the Ukraine response. It's definitely there, but it's a lot more complicated than that. Out of ignorance a lot of comments are really cold about it. It hurts me partly because I live in a place where there are very little Polish people around so I don't get to feel as understood and sympathize as other people in other cultures do. And it's also not like racism does not occur to eastern and central European people. I once had a boy older than me literally laugh at my face and talk to me about my ancestors and laugh that my ancestors were in concentration camps. People in Britain stereotype Ukrainians as bathroom cleaners. My mother has a medical degree, she worked as a doctor in Poland, and works as a nurse assistant because she has never taken her licensing exams in the US. She has the qualifications and knowledge for a different position so I think maybe her accent and background plays a role in in why the hospital hasn't offered her one. I completely agree that most people in the US are completely ignorant about history and cultures outside the US. Like you said they don't realize that Europe was not actually as powerful and important as it is now throughout history. Only in very modern history it has become this powerful. Throughout history the middle east, China, and other areas, have been the major powers of the world. Civilizations in Mexico had extremally complicated cultures, and cultures of native Americans in US were actually more "civilized" in many ways than their colonizers. As you can tell I need to catch up in World History class, but I realize these truths exist. I think the only way to fix these problems and shortcomings is education and love.
agreed I keep remembering how the people in the Middle East were being portrayed as "extremist" when they fight for their own homeland, back then. While the news outlets today are watching these Ukrainian citizen making their very own molotovs like seeing an innocent child baking their very first cookies. Apparently only "civilized" people are allowed to make their own bombs to fight an invader.
Trevor, you missed the point: being the sunflower the Ukraine's national flower, this grandma is saying her nation will rise again over the fertile ground of the corpses of its enemies.
Oh wow she is really smart and poetic. I love people like that! I don't even think she meant it against the solider like Trevor suggested just to make a point and warn him.
Ahh big scary dynamite. Dynamite was a very helpful invention for how were able to use it to blast rock for tunnels highways and mining. Just because a side effect is it being used in war doesn't make it that much less useful dynamic and revolutionary invention.
Thanks for pointing out the racism, Trevor. The hypocrisy is staggering and so incredibly ingrained it's depressing- and I've not seen enough people addressing it.
I thought how the non european refugees must feel now, that were stuck at the polish/belarussian border as part of Lukashenkos plan to use refugees as a political weapon. I see this endless empathy, support and help for the ukrainian refugees now - they basically get picked up at the border and driven to safe places, getting easy access to help funds and jobs, etc. This is how it should be for all refugees not only for the white, christian, european ones.
That reporter needs to apologize to every orphan that lost their family in Syria and gaza, to every starving child in Yemen, and to every other victim of war in the Middle East. We didn’t ask for wars. We didn’t ask for any of this. And frankly, we all know who’s the cause of all these wars and yet you have the audacity to call us “uncivilized.”
Its a double standard of europe and u.s weaklings who can only fight with proxy wars and against weaker countries. against a superpower like russia and china their cowards.
To top it of Ukraine was racially profiling students ( Indian and Black) not giving them equal right to leave but wanted to have them to pick up arms and fight their war. As much as I feel bad for the situation I also feel a certain way about some of this people. I could definitely not goin a war that still has time to discriminate at a time like this. This reminds me this is the reason why I should mind my own business while Ukrain is trying to drag everyone else into this. Why what USA did is right , They did bombing syrian civilian, Iraq , Iran , Afganistan , Sudan , Libya and what israel done to palestine 2464 kids died by israel occupation force . Hypocrazy by the west
The hypocrisy and racism surrounding this war has been bothering me for a few days now and I'm glad that someone with a big platform decided to talk about it. Thank you, Trevor.
Thank you for calling out the inherent racism in the response. While I stand with Ukraine, we should also be responding at the same level in other countries.
@@SanGeet0510 Ukraine was born in 10th century, it was called Kyiv Rus. Thats' actually a meme going around: All churches from 10th and 9th century in Kyiv vs an empty forest in Russia
I love to hear the reporter apologizing for what he's about to say! And actually used the word 'civilized' as if the other nations where he thinks this would be considered 'normal and expected' are the 'uncivilized ' ones I guess??? As you inferred, those reporters have not checked out history!
@@ellamay8057 He's conflating "white/European" country to "rich" and further conflates that with "civilized." Problem with that train of thought is Ukraine is quite poor. Much poorer than countries the West traditionally thinks of as poor: China ($10.5K per capita GDP), Mexico ($8.3K), Cuba ($9.1K), etc. Ukraine's per capita GDP is only $3.7K.
I'm Russian-Ukrainian and watching this among all the dark depressing news was a breath of fresh air. Thank you so much, Trevor. I really appreciate the way you cover news 😭
@@owenmersk4626 no. it is a dark time. we have seen enough war in europe. 10 million dead in ww1, 60 million dead in ww2, countless civil wars afterwards, massacres, clashes, attacks, evil leaders, hunger, poverty and now a new big war with the threat of nuclear weapons. I don't care how it feels to some people if we call this dark times or dark news. It is a dark time and dark news and there is nothing to interpretate wrong about it.
@@owenmersk4626 Yea true, you should probably call the cyber police. Did you know there's a country called Montenegro? Everyone there should be gassed for calling it that because das racist.
When Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya were invaded by America and NATO is was no big deal. How many innocent people were killed? That was no big deal. And now?
That's where the hypocrisy actually is. NATO has been sending arms to Ukraine for the past few years because somehow they don't work for peace. Interference by the west in the overthrowing of the previous President didn't worry all these 'peace loving' countries. They overreact only at the consequences of what America and NATO have been doing to Ukraine in the past few years.
Ok this is depressing on Soo many levels, the fact that people are dying and also the fact that people are feeling bad because it's Europeans dying and not Africans or Asians, really depressing
So don't other countries have the same empathy then? I mean some of you seem jealous European countries care that an European country being attacked by another European country. There are 100 countries between Africa and Asia. Those 2 are allowed to care the same amount about their own neighbors. But apparently westerners are supposed to care more about Syrians who are being murdered by Assad then their actual neighbors. There are 50 countries closer to Syria than Germany yet the likes of Germany must be the ones taking care of them
@@alexp7900 you’re right. Let’s not forget the sheer number of conflicts actually caused and sustained by Europeans and Americans in these African and Middle Eastern countries. The blindness is real.
You know the response to this Ukrainian war shows how easy it is to humanize victims in a war thousands of miles away. Unless Putin is actually crazy, this war isn’t gonna last. The global response has been very devastating to Russia and this is all without direct aggression towards Russia. At this point, the only reason anyone goes to war is to secure economic resources, if that wasn’t clear before, it should be crystal clear now. No one in the western mainstream media ever spoke about the bravery of the Iraqi or Afghan or Syrian or any Arab people when they were fighting their invaders, those stories existed but were never spoken about in the west because the US were the invaders. it’s a shame really cause I don’t want Ukrainians treated like Iraqis or Africans, I want Africans and Arabs to be treated like Ukrainians.
Very true. I didnt see such a mass media involvement to this extent during Afghan or Palestinian wars. At the Ukraine-Poland border, BIPOC women and children were abused and stopped from getting on the train. The guards separated who was white and who was colored. Such racists attitudes made me lose my respect for the people there.
11:04 so glad you addressed the difference of response. It is a difficult pill to swallow that we are choosing what is right based on who it is. Don't get me wrong, I am extremely happy to see the world agree that this is needless and totally unacceptable. But I can't help think that it is only because it's Europe and if it was the west, a similar reaction would be expected. Yet so many needless wars in the middle east ....not only war, even genocides like in Palestine, Rohingya, and china yet the world pretends to be oblivious.
I mean yes and no... there's that.. but there's also the potential consequences for this conflict.. Unlike a war in the middle east, the potential fallout of this conflict is huge... It's much much bigger than just Ukraine and that's why it's particularly scary
Don`t forget that this war is only days old. I remember times when all the news was about Syrian and if this war goes on for months and months as I fear, it will sadly also get pushed out of the headlines. Also, people are selfish - Putin threathened to use nuclear weapons against the West so he became the common enemy for all of Europe and the US too. There is also a certain amount of guilt for not helping Ucraine by sending troops - because of that very threat. Last but not least, in my country which is only 7 hours from Ucraine there are enough Ucranian workers and students for everyone to know someone from Ucraine. And if the neighbours are fearing for the life of their father or son and the women and children of this family are arriving in a state of shock at the tiny apartment next door, it does feel closer than Myanmar of course. I`m not saying that it should but it does.
@Anna F This is understandable. They're neighbors and are closer in general. The bad part is the media hypocrisy. Speaking as if such thing shouldn't happen just to Europeans is outrageous.

10:38--"This isn't a Middle Eastern country. This is a relatively civilized, relatively European country!" Well, you're just dishing out racism for everybody, aren't you, dude? Not only implying that "This is 'shocking' because it's not happening amongst brown people," but also saying that where it is happening is "RELATIVELY civilized". Because everywhere else that isn't the U.S. or Western Europe is only somewhat civilized, right? So glad Trevor called those gross reporters out.
Trevor needed to call it out more! He went over it too quickily and didn't even make a proper connection on how the US and NATO has been doing the same in these countries.
It's absolutely horrible and super ignorant. As if 'less civilized' country's deserve this more, or are to blame themselves for being invaded. And as if all of Africa, South East and so on have never been on same or even higher culture level as the west. When basically the Beginn of culture and civilisation stems exactly from there. 😕
As an Ethiopian who live in the US the irony in the media distorted reporting is just insane. When the Ethiopian PM Abiy went to war on the frontline they phrased it as “the Nobel peace prize winner went to war” when all he did was stand up for the sovereignty of our country the same way that Ukrainian president did
Wow he really said this, on international news with no shame, like we knew they thought it but he actually said it.”What’s different here from other conflicts that seem so far away, in you know Africa, these are Europeans being killed!”
He did. Let's face it. That's why it pays to care about your own people first (in my case Africans) it's just the way things are in this world and it won't change anytime soon.
This media coverage makes me feel ashamed for being of European descent. White people aren’t even trying to hide the fact they don’t care as much when other races suffer from War.

I think the double quotes need to be on the "some" part. I guess it is a common sentiment across people in the western countries. I bet you would not have seen the amount of the outrage if it was a non European country instead of Ukraine. That being said, both western European countries and Russia are using Ukraine as their battleground, and eventually it's them who are going to suffer the most irrespective of which way the fight goes.

Only US media are covering it like this. In Europe your ethnicity is important, not race. And this war is against our culture, our history, which Russia tried to steal for centuries. Russia tried to humiliate us for speaking our language. You can't even imagine what Russia was doing to us morally even before this war. That's why Putin expected us to greet them with flowers and we stopped tanks by hands.
It's a fact that race matters when it comes to who you care for first. BLM care for the wrongs against black, but dont lift a finger to care when white people get shot, or when their own is shot by their own. Ukraine is our neighbors and share our ancestors, culture, history and in many cases blood. Im sorry, but black doesnt have exclusive right to care for their own people when they are treated unfairly. We have the same right.

You know, there was a video posted online of a blond girl who was yelling and shaking her fist at a soldier, and the caption read something like “Brave Ukrainian Girl confronts Russian Soldiers”. The world blew up and it got tons and tons of media coverage, people discussing how brave she was and standing in solidarity with Ukraine. And just a few days later, when it came out that the girl was actually Palestinian and was screaming at an Israeli soldier, the world went radio silent. A social experiment in of itself.
How on earth palestinian girl could be mistaken for an ukranian one? Also palestinian girls are being forced to marry at about nine years old, so their main enemy is their government, many of them living on streets or commiting suicide in order not to live with sadists anymore, they dont have any reason to live, there is nothing for them, it is better to die or not being born that to be born as a girl in muslim country. It is cute how you pretend to be goody two shoes, while rooting for antisemitic islamist regime, and having guts to bring a girl into conversation, while main enemy of girls of such countries their governments, enemy of ukrainian girls is russia government, not their own
Leave it to Trevor to cheer us up without downplaying the seriousness of the situation. But those comments about how this would be expected in Africa or Asia instead of Europe. That's a huge yikes 😬 May Ukraine stand strong 🇺🇦 💙 💛
It’s new for this era to see fighting in Europe. It’s never been broadcast live. I’m not denying the racism. It’s definitely a factor. But it’s also a fascination with how it’s never had before in modern times.
@@spencersholden Is the 90s modern times? Bosnia?? Or do the Balkans not count? Invasion of Georgia? Kosovo? Edit: Irish troubles and resulting terrorist attacks in the UK? (And killing of the Irish ofc)
@@a.a.6789 I think what he meant to say is that it's been a long time that a war has been covered in the media like this. Most modern-day wars aren't as widespread/covered by the media like this. Furthermore, SPENCER was also *probably* talking about how war as devastating as Putin's war/Ukrainian-Russian war hasn't been seen since 14/15/16ish century times? (Correct me if I'm wrong, *SPENCER)* It's funny how everyone is now blaming(?) me when I only made an *ASSUMPTION* about what *SPENCER MAY HAVE MEANT* .
@@samweII Friend, are you saying that Europe hasn't seen a war this devastating since the 16th century? Europe? Or do you mean only between Russia and Ukraine? Which is also a crazy statement btw. Also the balkan wars were heavily covered as were the troubles and the first days of the wars in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan, if this goes the forever war route you won't be seeing this coverage by the end of the first year. (Sorry if this seemed rude I must be misuderstanding you, it's early in the morning here and English isn't my first language, like bruh forget the devastations in Bosnia, Ireland, Chechnya etc, WW1 and WW2 were in the 20th century as I'm sure you know and it devastated everyone in Europe except the Swiss and I think the Swedes since they haven't been through a war in 200 years)
Man I'm not Russian but from what I see the Russian military dealt professionally and respectful with that old women or that man who stopped in front of the tank . I'm Iraqi and I know how the American military dealt with the people the killed people more than soldiers they destroyed civilian infrastructure more than the army infrastructure . But that don't mean we standing with Russian against Ukraine just to be clear we don't want war anywhere.
As a German I just want to get this straight: So everyone in the western world wants us to - Build a large army - March through Poland - Fight the Russians if needed Just writing this down so there is no future misunderstanding... :)
I think I would not mind, just remember, look at the map carefully, you go east OK. If you see a sign "Nach Frankreich", turn around. We'll send all the wine and cheese you want.
*Reporters talking abt how this is happening in a “civilized” country* “Civilized” countries: selling military machineries to spark more chaos in “uncivilized” countries
Really? Having a gun, and shooting a gun at someone isn't the same thing. If you buy weapons from quote "civilized" country, and use it for chaos, blame the hand that shot the weapons, not the one that supplied it. It's easy to blame everyone else, instead of looking into a mirror, and think that I might be the problem.
@@iljasidlun1952 oh so If I give a weapon to a prisoner and than he kills the guard it his fault and I have nothing to do with it? It's both of his and my fault.
@@iljasidlun1952 You truly have little understanding about civil conflicts/unrest, genocides, war & political demographics. Historical injustices aren't your cup of tea too, so just dedicate at least 4 years of your life reading books before showing dire ignorance.
Trevor has such a step up on American reporters in that he's personally dealt with similar situations by growing up in South Africa. He can relate and make it relatable. Brilliant.
South Africa has not been invaded in Trevor's lifetime. You don't have to personally experience something to have empathy or to educate yourself about a situation.
"That was the careful version?" 😂 Thank you Trevor for saying out loud what we deeply feel about the situation, on top of what it's already happening. Confusing and overwhelming.

It is painful, how people tend to forget about the Yugoslav Wars. What is happening in Ukraine is terrible, but it's not the worst Europe has seen since WW2. (...yet... and hopefully it will stay that way)
It's a different scale, the war/s in Yugoslavia were between raltively minor powers that had been a powder keg for centuries, and nobody outside had to fear for consequences or an escalation. This is one of the biggest militaries I the. World invading a different country.
Depends on what you consider "terrible." Yugoslav was terrible. Most people probably didn't know the severity because we didn't have the social media we have now. But this situation in Ukraine has the potential to be far, far worse. Russia and Ukraine are huge, important countries.
Mad respect for Trevor for pointing out how war is treated when it happens with the whites and how it is treated when it happens with the darker skins. Some people still find time to be racist during an ongoing war.

This isn't a war. Look at how confident they are with soldiers and tanks. That would have been unimaginable during ww2. This more akin to a deadly parade. Only 200 Ukrainians dead so far. Not a war if your enemy goes easy on you.
13:30 It's refreshing to see all those resistance are addressed as heroism and defending one's own country isn’t being called Terrorism like many certain others.
I'm swiss and I can tell you that the swiss population was out protesting the last few days waiting for a response from the swiss government. And we got one!
You've fallen for the russian propaganda. White non-ukrainians are kicked off trains and buses too. Its because they're not ukrainian, not because they're not white. No doubt there have been incidents of racism but that its some huge thing that happens all over the place is russian propaganda trying to cause division. For every video showing black people being kicked off or stopped at the border there's a hundred videos showing black people safely crossing the border along with all the others. Literally just 10 minutes ago I saw a video on tiktok of a group of somali students talking about how they have safely crossed the border, meanwhile Ukrainians at another place on the border are stopped from crossing. Ukrainians have priority, everyone else is at the end of the queue. Of those, women and children go first, men aren't allowed to leave. All refugees also need to be registered and when hundreds of thousands are all trying to leave at once then yeah, some people get priority over others since the border system cant handle it all at once.
In 2014, Oligarch and Banderist Poroshenko declared war against the East. Apart from the idiotic noise in Western newspapers, one can read in the UN reports of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights what war crimes and atrocities have been committed in the last 8 years by deranged Nazis of the Azov and Aidar regiments, which have simply been kept quiet here in the West since 2014. Azov is part of the Ukrainian National Guard. Last Thursday, 7 April 2022, Ukrainian President Zelensky appeared before the Greek parliament accompanied by two Azov fighters, which is a scandal especially for Greece. Greece has communicated that it does not want to continue supplying Kiev with weapons. Almost only Reuters reported this. Otherwise in Western media: Silence
Trevor, when doing your segment talking about racist media coverage, you missed a very important one. Ukraine’s deputy chief prosecutor David Sakvarelidze literally said on the BBC: he was very emotional because “European people with blue eyes and blonde hair” were being killed daily. It doesn't get more mask off than that.
@@Julia-lk8jn I can post a link if you really need, but if you search "David Sakvarelidze bbc" there will be plenty of reporting on it. It got a lot of attention.
@@AnnKotik Here ya go :) This channel is removing comments with links, but I can point to some indirectly: Look up "Independent: The racial bias in western media's Ukraine coverage is shameful" "India Today: Ukrainian officials remark on people with ‘blue eyes and blonde hair’ being killed sparks racism row" "Business Today: Netizens call out 'Racist' media coverage of Russia-Ukraine War" Please try to excuse this more, I have more links I can point to.
@@ilovefunnyamv2nd so you wanna say that people in middle east are savages? You know that the problem in middle east are not the people in the middle east right? Its countries like US or Russia who sell guns in here And i know this becoyse i am a savages of middle east😘
@@suagrandezza Iraqis fighting for freedom against USA invasion were called terrorists.. Ukrainians fighting Russian invasion are symbol of bravery, heroism and quote "undying spirit".. Sure after all it's Russia.. Imagine USA invading Ukraine..
We for sure support Ukraine. Meanwhile, "it is the little things that hurt". The price for everything in Germany now is crazy. Everything in the supermarket is more expensive than before. The price for egg and milk almost doubled, let alone the price for gas. Some people now have started to panic and prepare for nuk. I just hope that this thing could end soon!
Not everything has come to its own yet. Russia is considering stopping gas supplies to Germany and Luxembourg. Germany is one of the major consumers of 40% of Russian gas and 30% of Russian oil. What will happen when the supply of gas and oil is stopped? It is a blow to the German economy. Almost all factories in Germany are heated by Russian gas.
@@MrKuna91 I guess that is a price we will have to pay. We have had 80 years of peace. Maybe that is all the peace we were allowed to have. I seriously hope not. But we have rebuilt our country from rubble, we have turned a horrible, murderous dictatorship into one of the leading democratic countries on this planet. We have become rich and complacent. I hope this war will not escalate, but I dread what the coming weeks, months and years might bring. I am German and I firmly believe, that democracy is worth fighting for. Even our broken capitalist system is worth fighting for. Becaus anything - absolutely anything, - is better than to live under the jackboot of a dictator. Living in a dictatorship is death - every single day of your life.
There's another form of racism which is more subtle. Imagine the media reaction to a group of Iraqis/Afganis/Africans preparing Molotov cocktails. I don't think they'll like it as much as they seem to like it in Ukraine.
1. Ukraine looks like a European country 2. Ukraine is the largest country in Europe other than Russia 3. Many Europeans know Ukrainians 4. Ukrainians have put up a huge resistance thanks in part to their help 5. people were racist to Ukrainians before this conflict; British stereotype them as bathroom cleaners 6. no one cared about them until a few days ago 7. this conflict is a conflict in which Russia directly is threatening the "West." 8. Ukrainians have accents, but they look like White people so it's easier to relate (racism.) 9. Ukraine was fully innocent and has a thriving democracy 10. No one cared about Ireland and the Balkans during their wars 11. Ukraine is a buffer/really close to Europe 12. Ukraine is a country with 44 million 13. these people still miraculously have access to the internet I write this simply to point out that racism does play a role in this, but it's a lot more complicated than just that.
@@Victor-tl4dk No, it is not, racism is racism at the end of the day. Just a group of people thinking they're more valuable or better than another group. War is just being thrown in the mix of it. Everything you mention is valid but not okay to try to minimize racism for other people. The fact that they are kicking black Ukrainians and African foreign students off trains and buses, Said a lot. It is not that deep for anyone that has brown or dark skin but a harsh reminder that even in war. That is our lives are seen as more meaningless and less valuable than paler and white people. We all war this war to end and the Ukrainian people to be safe but don't minimize racism. Thank you thought for writing about some of the issues Ukrainian people have to deal with. Hopefully, people will not tolerate racism toward them anymore after this.

@@alanna5609 I don't know where you heard that they were kicking black Ukrainians from buses. I watched a person on UA-cam named Olga who is vlogging her experience. Based on information from her this is what I know: There are a lot of students in Ukraine. Since these people are not Ukrainian they technically do not have visa-free entry to Europe like Ukrainians. Despite this authorities in Europe are automatically stamping their passports for 90 days of entry. I think borders are silly- but the truth is maybe not exactly your comment- were those isolated incidents? But I totally agree with you that all conflicts of human suffering deserve this level attention not just the Ukrainian conflict. Also, like Farsight wrote, we are in an information war and this news could be part of Russian propaganda.
@@Victor-tl4dk I though they change the status on that? As I mention in my other comment I rather be wrong then right. However, this has came up in the news with actual interviews from people in Ukraine. So aless America media is helping Russian with their proganda. I don't completely believe what written in these comments. I still appreciate you replying back to me and I'll look into this information. Is the youtube just name Olga or does she have another name for they're channel?
I guess the MANY MANY BILLIONS every year european nations sends the middle east don't count. I guess the MILLIONS of refugees from the middle east taken by Europe these last years don't count. Funny how no one seems to question what support the other nations on the earth are giving. Is Saudi Arabia going to take millions of Ukranien refugees? Will Pakistan? Turkey? I could go on, but I bet you get my point.
that probably happens in the regions close to the occurance, because ofcourse people care about what happens closer them so, media in Europe report alot about this and media in the middle east probably report alot about conflicts there
@@ah9034 Turkey gets the funding for that from Germany and has used the refugees as a political tool..... Still missing the point. None of the Arab nations (which includes SA) have any interest in helping their neighbours. Yet Europe sends aid and money and even takes millions into their countries.
Death is equally bad for any country. Let's imagine, for example, that oh I dunno...perhaps 200,000 Iraqi lives or 170,000 Afghani lives were lost in a war. It would be touching to see the same level of focus on civilian deaths, intimate personal stories, public fundraising, and protests. The same way we should care about Ukranians, we should care about everyone else when their crises arise.
My buddy lives in Odesa and has been in and out of the shelter all day. He says there's 10 hour long traffic jams into Moldova and he says it's just terrifying. Two of his friends in Kiev were killed in airstrikes yesterday morning he just said. He's also lost access to his bomb shelter and is hiding in the bathroom with his wife and baby and their dog and cat. They're taking turns sleeping to try and keep watch. He can't afford to escape either. The building shut off their gas because they're still trying to strike the gas lines. He's absolutely terrified
@@divi2747 I don't know. I've told him that too, I don't know what to tell him. I can't say anything, I can't do anything to help, I've never experienced that and I have no way to really understand what they're going through
That so ironic when the news that supposed to bring information to public tend to hide some important thing, yet here a comedy show give you a lot of information from a different point of view.
I live in France and I’m French and the things said in French tv about the refugee and the difference between the white blond refugee and Syrian refugee is absolutely disgusting…
Russian attack Ukraine, civilian put up weapon and fight back, western media: theyre heroes. Israel attacked Palestine, killing women and children ,civilian put up stone and fight back throwing stone, western media: they're terrorist
Yes "civilized". Such a wonderful word, while blocking and harassing African exchange students on the borders who fight on a regular basis to educate themselves to help further build their countries.
fake news Anyone not Ukrainian got told to go the Romanian boarder plus in several instances where there have been altercations usually involve them jumping the queue.
I think it's the visa waiver issue. Ukrainians no longer have to have a visa, but other nationalities, including non-Africans, do. Of course this should be addressed ASAP, but the immediate reaction was only for Ukrainians as far as I know.
I've literally been watching this and every time someone says they're shocked I want to yank the most basic book on WWII and hit the with it. WWII is living memory!
I'm more shocked at how well Ukraine is taking it. I thought they would roll over like the Afghanis. Edit: before you respond to this comment, I am not talking about the Taliban, or the son of the Tiger of Panshir. I am talking about the former president, and the regime that America propped up- which folded just as fast as America left. I am referring SPECIFICALLY TO THAT. Not to Afghanistan's proud history.

It’s mind blowing how you can be this racist while in need of help when you are being attacked. Horrible. I hope they don’t expect any African nation to help them in there hour of need and at this point I feel like every African in the diaspora should sip water and mind our business.
Another thing that hasn't been mentioned in fighting Russia is that SWEDEN is sending military aid (including anti-tank missles) to Ukraine. Sweden has ALWAYS been neutral so this is as big as Switzerland jumping in with financial consequences.

I’ve said it from the start, the US never spends this much time covering wars and attacks (that we aren't involved in) in black and brown countries. Maybe a few days or a couple weeks but only small short segments of the news. With Ukraine, it has been the lead story and the majority of the news headlines on every site. Glad people are finally bringing this up.
So do you know about the Asian genocides in china? Those aren't brown or black yet it's ridiculously uncovered and unreported. Are your brown and black people more important than Asians too?
Can’t get passed the coverage of Western media talking about how it’s so terrible that it’s happening to Europeans. Not African, Asian, Middle Eastern people. The people of Ukraine deserve support - but not like that. It’s becoming more challenging to separate support from outright anger with western media.
How is the US not under any sanctions after all the US has done to other countries for decades?? Where are the sanctions for the false attacks on Iraq? Where are the sanctions for overthrowing Libya? Yemen, Syria, Somalia, Afghanistan Vietnam all victims off US aggression. Hypocrisy of the highest order.
What Ukrainians are going through is really hard, but what about the Russians who aren't part of putin's cruelity? They will be hated for a very long time by other countries just because their leader isn't stable. Oh and here i am, in an 'uncivilazed' country in west Africa, yet i've never even heard a gunshot. Infact, the worst thing that has happened in my country is the former president refusing to step down..which, he eventually did in the end. So yeah, Africa might be poorer than most countries, doesn't have the luxuries most countries have, but its mostly peaceful where i am, and i am not suffering or starving even though we are just adverage people living our lives.

I was thinking the same. How can USA condemn Putin when Bush did the exact same thing. Claiming weapons of mass destruction when there weren't any. USA can't even stop white police from abusing and murdering black people. With all the clean up America could be handling in her own country USA should stay neutral and work on the USA.
@Mike V They are all people, you know. Have friends, families, hobbies, and lives. And in most cases civilian had no idea about their governments' policies. War is war, and when you suffer from it, your race or skin color won't really matter. Or is it?
The media coverage and support for Ukraine is amazing. Although I'd wish I'd didn't reveal our hypocrisy when it comes to condemning violence against people, who incidentally, aren't White, Christian or Europeans.... Iraq, Yemen, Myanmar, China, CAR, Palestine. All these places could use a strong moral stance from us, but will never see it.
Exactly, I mean Israelis are at this exact moment attacking and k*lling Palestinians while the world is busy with Ukraine. They're even talking about Syrian refugees as if they're a bother and that they'd rather help the Ukrainians, all of that for a skin color. Finally showing their true face, these racists.

I mean, I'm sure glad they can get to safety, and I hope for peace everywhere, it doesn't change the fact that y'all racist af.

Genocide in Vietnam by Western: A 30-year-long war raged in Vietnam between 1945 and 1975. It was the longest and one of the most brutal military conflicts of the 20th century. In the period from 1966 to 1968 alone, the USA and its allies dropped almost 2,900,000 tonnes of explosives on Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia - this was 800,000 more than total tonnage dropped during the Second World War. The suffering of the civilian population defies imagination. Over half of the rural population was driven out of its villages in the 1960s and forced to live in urban slums or refugee camps. The most conservative estimates work on the assumption that almost 630,000 civilians were killed in North and South Vietnam between 1965 and the end of 1974. As opposed to this, many historians refer to over two million deaths and over four million wounded - in a country with a population at the time of about 35 million inhabitants. In any case, the proportion of civilians among the war victims was far in excess of 40 percent and therefore exceeded the corresponding quota for the Second World War.
I am from the Middle East. And to be honest this kind of talk from reporters saying that these horrifying events shouldn't happen in Europe, hinting it should stay in our regions where it 'belongs' makes me sick. It just makes our people feel like they are worth less than a european/western person. It's sad how we have come to a day and age where wars in the Middle East and African countries are not given as much attention as this conflict is. Then again, I am not saying that this conflict does not deserve press, quite the contrary it does! And what humanity is doing for Ukraine is absolutely amazing and I love it, but it aches my heart that we do not receive that much care from these countries eventhough we have gone through a lot more life threatening conflicts in our region :( The reality of our world is sad, the way these news anchors chose to value a human life more than another just because of their birth place and race... :(
It would be helpful if you knew that Europe is an entire continent. You cant beat idiocy with idiocy.
First of all: every war and every violently taken life is terrible.
But as a European young person: I do relate more to a conflict close to me, than to one on another continent. Everyone does, cause we are able to understand it, we share similar culture and history, we are neighbours.
Just because it is more relatable.
Also, we Europeans share thousands of years of conflict. After the trauma of two world wars, it was our goal to unite and develope only through diplomacy.
Many Conflicts abroad are due to religious or cultural beliefs, which we do not share or even fail to comprehend.
It doesn't mean we do not care about other nations and their people. But we still have a handfull to do in growing together and achieving forever peace and avoiding conflict here.
This conflict is incredible because it targets a whole continents hard work for peace. It reminds us on WWII and the trauma that sticks to us till these days.
It repeats a dark part of history that we believed, would never be seen again.
It takes us back to the cold war. It threats the entire world through possible nuclear escalation.
It is the declaration of a worldpower, a autocracy, against the believe of democracy.
Love from Germany.
True. You get a different perspective when you're on the receiving end of bombs. I feel for the Ukrainian civilians but the media's hypocrisy is sickening.
The majority of us feel what you are saying. Christian from CBS got slammed precisely because of that. Many, if not most people who saw his comments during a live coverage were extremely upset by them, and he had to apologize for it. Sending love, the truth is that we are all citizens of this world, divided by men who just want power.
nobody needs to write a full epic saga to prove they are not racist. Many europeans don't care about africans/muslims because they don't feel they are the same. It's easy to discriminate when you don't feel any bonds to a people/situation. There is nothing to romanticize about it. They just feel superior, even their conflicts are superior (oooh because we don't share the same beliefs that's why we cannot comprehend middle eastern/african conflicts :))) what a lame excuse! unfortunately there are cracks in the masks of humanity
I'm Romanian and i live VERY close to the border. I heard everything from my bed when Russia started its attack. But while i'm VERY proud and happy to see all the romanians showing so much love, support, shelter, food, and any help to refugees from Ukraine, we did NOT react the same when refugees were brought in from middle east. I also heard people using the word "refugee" as if it's describing a disgusting foreigner or something... I love my country but maaannnn the racism is so obvious it hurts. And of course that among the amazing people that offer help there are also some freaking A-Holes that take money from the refugees, promise them shelter and all that, and then run with the money TT

Praying for Ukrainians from un “uncivilized continent” Africa!
Man these uncivilized savages are so barbaric with their smartphones and multi-lingual proficiency. Afghanistan and Iraq are literally home to some of the most important and significant archeological titans like the massive Buddha cliff-faces in Afghanistan, Alexander the greats rapid conquest and settlement in Central Asia. Or literally home to Baghdad, Babylon, Sumer, Or other ancient empires that are so legendary and influential, they have common threads as the influence for all most civilizations west of the ‘kush’ and west of the Atlantic.
Also if anyone was uncivilized, my fellow Americans already know of its epicenter; Florida.
🥸
From the cradle of humanity. Your continent has never gotten the respect it should.
I wonder if the Ukrainians ever prayed for Africa.

@@TheGhostOf2020 ya'll know that these exact scenes... are happening in Yemen RIGHT NOW. Literally, the Saudis launched another attack just recently. Several HUNDRED THOUSAND have been killed there. Where's the condemnation, the video feeds? Are Yemeni lives worth less to you? Let's not even talk about the million Iraqis killed or the destruction of Libya. And where was the coverage when the so-called separatist UKRAINIANS who merely protest the ousting of their democratically-elected leader were being slaughtered in the thousands?? EIGHT YEARS and you said NOTHING
The common thread here seems to be as long as you are NATO or its ally, slaughtering millions is the right thing to do. If you are not, killing even one is a war crime. The hypocrisy is amazing, and SO OBVIOUS. Putin may be wrong to invade, but it sure does reveal how controlled your media is doesn't it? Even your trusted UA-camrs are chomping at their bit to attack the evil russians while being truly oblivious of far worse attrocities going on RIGHT NOW.
I am an African student currently studying in Poland. I’m glad Trevor touched on the racism issue. It is actually surprising how some people over all this have the time to be racist. Foreign students are not being allowed on trains from Ukraine to other countries for safety. There are plenty of videos on this but… surprise surprise, the media is not even covering this. We are always seen as less than. I sympathise deeply with the people of Ukraine. I also sympathise with all other countries all over the world that the world is not really concerned about because they have a darker shade to their skin and it is expected of them like what Trevor said.
Just this Sunday, my Uber driver while we were casually speaking on how unfortunate the situation is, told me to my face that Putin should just, and I quote “ Pack up his tanks and GO TO AFRICA,” I do not even think he himself got what he was saying, because this ideology is so ingrained in most people it is actually shocking. He later back tracked when he realised who he was talking to. This shows you that this is a sentiment that a lot of people share. The value of a white man to that of everyone else will always be very different. I do not say this for divide, but just as a note about human nature. Some people’s lives are viewed as above others for some reason. I have come to terms with it. I pray for all those still stuck in this unfortunate situation.
I'm black my brother, but of course they save their own first. Wouldn't you save your kids first and then everyone else's? They are fleeing to save their lives, not to visit Disneyland 🤦
I have seen the issue of racism at the border covered in the news. It's not the lead story while people are getting slaughtered in the streets.
@@julievonhaeften8323 and I'm guessing you're referring to the black people right?
The BBC covers this issue well, as well as Indian mainstream news outlets, and other outlets covering international news. Don't say the media isn't covering it when you could not be bothered to check them out.
There is some coverage but far too little. These comments here already show it's a difficult time to adress another issue. But I'm hoping soon everyone will be treated the same, no matter the colour of the skin
Oh, Trevor. You're the only host of a western show who is brave enough to point at those racist statements by those so-called journalists and pundits. Many thanks to you and our hearts go out to Ukraine...and other nations that were impacted by the same brutal actions of aggressions....even the western-originated ones.

You are not worthless.
I don’t know if your Muslim or not , I want to tell you that Allah loves his believers . It doesn’t matter what the disbelieving people say or think of us , we are the guided ones anyways . And Allah always gives victory to the believers no matter how long it takes. And he always will humiliate the disbelieving tyrants no matter how long it takes . يقول الله عز وجل لا تهنو ولا تحزنو وانتم الاعلون ان كنتم مؤمنين . Allah Almighty says in the Quran “Do not despair and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are believers”.
I'm sorry you have to endure the human experience that way. I hope that in time this looking at the conflict will bring a change of mind a more wholesome humanitarian culture.
All in all we are all just specs of dust and only a very few will find greatness but you as a person can find peace within yourself. That is almost the most us humble laymen can ask for peace and prosperity.
you should not feel worthless for the ignorance of od whit men.
Never saw such media coverage when Afghans, Iraqis, Yemenis, were fighting their invaders, even when they weren't heavily armed by multiple friendly countries. Never saw so much coverage of the suffering and tears of the ones being invaded there, neither their acts of heroism to defend their land and their culture.
obviously Afghans, Iraqis, Yemenis in war is reason of US. and this is an US channel . you know
So Right!!! It’s BS!!! I didn’t hear about the US being investigated for War Crimes!!!
Control the ppl in Middle East and tell them to stop coming to the west to create attacks or sending threats and acting up on it and they will not be invaded. If Nigeria start breeding movements that come to the US to attack and sending threat and all that, best believe the U.S. is going there if their president don’t control them.. don’t think it’s not going to be the same if Russia sent ppl here to create attacks in the U.S.
Get over yourselves. Always gotta make the US look bad. No matter what’s going on y’all are worried about them being so bad, and about “Yemen, Iraq, war crimes, etc.” stop letting your feelings and egos get in the way and worry about the ones suffering for once. I understand with your ignorance it’s too hard but better learn late than never
Well, the West doesn't really care about brown people.

There was no racism in the short clippings he aired, but Trevor, as usual added that in!
1 reporter in my country said: "we were a group of about 400, with many children, and we're not talking about normal kids we r used to see like those in developing countries like in the Middle east or Africa!! No! And this is very important! :They are blonde and blue eyed children!" Literally what he said. I almost barfed *rtat (right there and then).

As a middle eastern, my heart is truly broken by those remarks. It's not that I don't expect racism, I just didn't expect it on the biggest news medias out there. It seems that war is only bad when it's happening to white people.
what about Ireland and the Balkans? What about the fact that this is the largest country in Europe? What about the fact that people were very racist against Ukrainian people all around the world before their fierce resistance and modern city was broadcast on TV?
@@bobherkey260 We spent the last week checking the news every few minutes and we are in pain with the Ukrainian people, my mother cries at the news and people don't stop talking about it on social media, we were never racist towards Ukrainians and we understand war real well, we know how much destruction it can cause and how lives are made cheap by bigger and bigger weapons. We know! It's just sad to see how the global media forgets where civilization started and just because we have unique cultures doesn't mean we're uneducated savages who deserve war. We bleed for them to thrive. Look at Palestine and Afghanistan and Syria and tell me those people deserve it and there's nothing to be done about the situation! The whole world teamed up against Russia and I think they can do the same to stop war crimes committed elsewhere.
@@zissou2265 I completely agree with you. I watched a documentary on the Afghanistan war and it was really sad how the United States destroyed Afghanistan in the name of dominance against Russia and how it literally used religious rhetoric to get extremists to fight against Russia. Afghanistan used to have beautiful cities and only in the countryside- like in all countries more so-called extremists existed. I don't really know as much as I should about Afghanistan, but that's what I kind of remember. I also get really frustrated by the hypocrisy in the United States and all around the world with the status-quo social constructs and public narratives. I completely agree that all people in the world deserve the same type of help as Ukraine is getting. As a white Polish-American, though, I get frustrated when seemingly ignorant commenters- definitely not you, write comments focusing on racism in the Ukraine response. It's definitely there, but it's a lot more complicated than that. Out of ignorance a lot of comments are really cold about it. It hurts me partly because I live in a place where there are very little Polish people around so I don't get to feel as understood and sympathize as other people in other cultures do. And it's also not like racism does not occur to eastern and central European people. I once had a boy older than me literally laugh at my face and talk to me about my ancestors and laugh that my ancestors were in concentration camps. People in Britain stereotype Ukrainians as bathroom cleaners. My mother has a medical degree, she worked as a doctor in Poland, and works as a nurse assistant because she has never taken her licensing exams in the US. She has the qualifications and knowledge for a different position so I think maybe her accent and background plays a role in in why the hospital hasn't offered her one.
I completely agree that most people in the US are completely ignorant about history and cultures outside the US. Like you said they don't realize that Europe was not actually as powerful and important as it is now throughout history. Only in very modern history it has become this powerful. Throughout history the middle east, China, and other areas, have been the major powers of the world. Civilizations in Mexico had extremally complicated cultures, and cultures of native Americans in US were actually more "civilized" in many ways than their colonizers. As you can tell I need to catch up in World History class, but I realize these truths exist. I think the only way to fix these problems and shortcomings is education and love.
@@bobherkey260 Very true. Sad, but true.
agreed I keep remembering how the people in the Middle East were being portrayed as "extremist" when they fight for their own homeland, back then. While the news outlets today are watching these Ukrainian citizen making their very own molotovs like seeing an innocent child baking their very first cookies. Apparently only "civilized" people are allowed to make their own bombs to fight an invader.

But apparently westerners are supposed to care more about Syrians who are being murdered by Assad then their actual neighbors.

You know the response to this Ukrainian war shows how easy it is to humanize victims in a war thousands of miles away. Unless Putin is actually crazy, this war isn’t gonna last. The global response has been very devastating to Russia and this is all without direct aggression towards Russia.
At this point, the only reason anyone goes to war is to secure economic resources, if that wasn’t clear before, it should be crystal clear now. No one in the western mainstream media ever spoke about the bravery of the Iraqi or Afghan or Syrian or any Arab people when they were fighting their invaders, those stories existed but were never spoken about in the west because the US were the invaders. it’s a shame really cause I don’t want Ukrainians treated like Iraqis or Africans, I want Africans and Arabs to be treated like Ukrainians.
THANK you for bringing this point
Very true. I didnt see such a mass media involvement to this extent during Afghan or Palestinian wars. At the Ukraine-Poland border, BIPOC women and children were abused and stopped from getting on the train. The guards separated who was white and who was colored. Such racists attitudes made me lose my respect for the people there.
The Ukrainians are special because the media tells you so! Everything ATM from the US is the opposite of reality. It's corrupted and lies.
But you are falling short of addressing Russia's concerns of security. Russia knows very well about NATO''s aggressive nature
No more war anywhere, please.
Brought tears to my eyes watching people 'choose their words carefully' 😑🤮😪
11:04 so glad you addressed the difference of response. It is a difficult pill to swallow that we are choosing what is right based on who it is.
Don't get me wrong, I am extremely happy to see the world agree that this is needless and totally unacceptable. But I can't help think that it is only because it's Europe and if it was the west, a similar reaction would be expected. Yet so many needless wars in the middle east ....not only war, even genocides like in Palestine, Rohingya, and china yet the world pretends to be oblivious.
Speak up louder, please!!!!
I mean yes and no... there's that.. but there's also the potential consequences for this conflict.. Unlike a war in the middle east, the potential fallout of this conflict is huge... It's much much bigger than just Ukraine and that's why it's particularly scary
Don`t forget that this war is only days old. I remember times when all the news was about Syrian and if this war goes on for months and months as I fear, it will sadly also get pushed out of the headlines. Also, people are selfish - Putin threathened to use nuclear weapons against the West so he became the common enemy for all of Europe and the US too. There is also a certain amount of guilt for not helping Ucraine by sending troops - because of that very threat. Last but not least, in my country which is only 7 hours from Ucraine there are enough Ucranian workers and students for everyone to know someone from Ucraine. And if the neighbours are fearing for the life of their father or son and the women and children of this family are arriving in a state of shock at the tiny apartment next door, it does feel closer than Myanmar of course.

Only US media are covering it like this. In Europe your ethnicity is important, not race. And this war is against our culture, our history, which Russia tried to steal for centuries. Russia tried to humiliate us for speaking our language. You can't even imagine what Russia was doing to us morally even before this war. That's why Putin expected us to greet them with flowers and we stopped tanks by hands.
It's a fact that race matters when it comes to who you care for first. BLM care for the wrongs against black, but dont lift a finger to care when white people get shot, or when their own is shot by their own. Ukraine is our neighbors and share our ancestors, culture, history and in many cases blood.

Depends on what you consider "terrible." Yugoslav was terrible. Most people probably didn't know the severity because we didn't have the social media we have now. But this situation in Ukraine has the potential to be far, far worse. Russia and Ukraine are huge, important countries.

I guess the MANY MANY BILLIONS every year european nations sends the middle east don't count.
I guess the MILLIONS of refugees from the middle east taken by Europe these last years don't count.
Funny how no one seems to question what support the other nations on the earth are giving. Is Saudi Arabia going to take millions of Ukranien refugees? Will Pakistan? Turkey?
I could go on, but I bet you get my point.
that probably happens in the regions close to the occurance, because ofcourse people care about what happens closer them so, media in Europe report alot about this and media in the middle east probably report alot about conflicts there
@@ah9034 Turkey gets the funding for that from Germany and has used the refugees as a political tool.....
Still missing the point. None of the Arab nations (which includes SA) have any interest in helping their neighbours. Yet Europe sends aid and money and even takes millions into their countries.
Death is equally bad for any country. Let's imagine, for example, that oh I dunno...perhaps 200,000 Iraqi lives or 170,000 Afghani lives were lost in a war. It would be touching to see the same level of focus on civilian deaths, intimate personal stories, public fundraising, and protests. The same way we should care about Ukranians, we should care about everyone else when their crises arise.
Saying that they voted him is BS. They're getting 15 yrs for protesting, I don't think they have a choice.
My buddy lives in Odesa and has been in and out of the shelter all day. He says there's 10 hour long traffic jams into Moldova and he says it's just terrifying. Two of his friends in Kiev were killed in airstrikes yesterday morning he just said. He's also lost access to his bomb shelter and is hiding in the bathroom with his wife and baby and their dog and cat. They're taking turns sleeping to try and keep watch. He can't afford to escape either. The building shut off their gas because they're still trying to strike the gas lines. He's absolutely terrified
to say best wishes for your friend seems insufficient and silly. what do you say?
@@divi2747 I don't know. I've told him that too, I don't know what to tell him. I can't say anything, I can't do anything to help, I've never experienced that and I have no way to really understand what they're going through

I think it's the visa waiver issue. Ukrainians no longer have to have a visa, but other nationalities, including non-Africans, do. Of course this should be addressed ASAP, but the immediate reaction was only for Ukrainians as far as I know.

I’ve said it from the start, the US never spends this much time covering wars and attacks (that we aren't involved in) in black and brown countries. Maybe a few days or a couple weeks but only small short segments of the news. With Ukraine, it has been the lead story and the majority of the news headlines on every site. Glad people are finally bringing this up.
Yup. Check out what's been happening in Ethiopia the last two years....or Venezuela
So do you know about the Asian genocides in china? Those aren't brown or black yet it's ridiculously uncovered and unreported. Are your brown and black people more important than Asians too?
Can’t get passed the coverage of Western media talking about how it’s so terrible that it’s happening to Europeans. Not African, Asian, Middle Eastern people.
The people of Ukraine deserve support - but not like that. It’s becoming more challenging to separate support from outright anger with western media.
They're telling on themselves
A lot of media appears shocked that they are being required to report...."news!"
How is the US not under any sanctions after all the US has done to other countries for decades??
Where are the sanctions for the false attacks on Iraq? Where are the sanctions for overthrowing Libya? Yemen, Syria, Somalia, Afghanistan Vietnam all victims off US aggression.
Hypocrisy of the highest order.
@@enixword2637 The U.S is the most powerful country in the world that's why there are no sanctions on the U.S

Trevor Bravo for calling out these racists and pointing out the facts.
The whole history of europe is a history story of war!

What Ukrainians are going through is really hard, but what about the Russians who aren't part of putin's cruelity? They will be hated for a very long time by other countries just because their leader isn't stable.
Oh and here i am, in an 'uncivilazed' country in west Africa, yet i've never even heard a gunshot. Infact, the worst thing that has happened in my country is the former president refusing to step down..which, he eventually did in the end.
So yeah, Africa might be poorer than most countries, doesn't have the luxuries most countries have, but its mostly peaceful where i am, and i am not suffering or starving even though we are just adverage people living our lives. And most importantly, we aren't racist. 😐

Where were the sanctions and trials on war crimes for the USA when invading Irak, a sovereign country?
Hope this war stops soon.
I was thinking the same. How can USA condemn Putin when Bush did the exact same thing. Claiming weapons of mass destruction when there weren't any. USA can't even stop white police from abusing and murdering black people. With all the clean up America could be handling in her own country USA should stay neutral and work on the USA.
"Didn't expect a war like this to happen in certain neighborhoods" Said Zero Native Americans or anyone colonized.

@Mike V They are all people, you know. Have friends, families, hobbies, and lives. And in most cases civilian had no idea about their governments' policies. War is war, and when you suffer from it, your race or skin color won't really matter. Or is it?

The media coverage and support for Ukraine is amazing.
Although I'd wish I'd didn't reveal our hypocrisy when it comes to condemning violence against people, who incidentally, aren't White, Christian or Europeans....
Iraq, Yemen, Myanmar, China, CAR, Palestine. All these places could use a strong moral stance from us, but will never see it.
Agree, we're primitive and triblal as our upbringing mandate it to be. But there is hope.
Exactly, I mean Israelis are at this exact moment attacking and k*lling Palestinians while the world is busy with Ukraine.
They're even talking about Syrian refugees as if they're a bother and that they'd rather help the Ukrainians, all of that for a skin color. Finally showing their true face, these racists.
Edit: of course, I wonder how anyone would think that this comment only pointing out racism, could be against Ukraine ?
I mean, I'm sure glad they can get to safety, and I hope for peace everywhere, it doesn't change the fact that y'all racist af.

Genocide in Vietnam by Western: A 30-year-long war raged in Vietnam between 1945 and 1975. It was the longest and one of the most brutal military conflicts of the 20th century. In the period from 1966 to 1968 alone, the USA and its allies dropped almost 2,900,000 tonnes of explosives on Vietnam, Laos, and Cambodia - this was 800,000 more than total tonnage dropped during the Second World War. The suffering of the civilian population defies imagination. Over half of the rural population was driven out of its villages in the 1960s and forced to live in urban slums or refugee camps. The most conservative estimates work on the assumption that almost 630,000 civilians were killed in North and South Vietnam between 1965 and the end of 1974. As opposed to this, many historians refer to over two million deaths and over four million wounded - in a country with a population at the time of about 35 million inhabitants.
In any case, the proportion of civilians among the war victims was far in excess of 40 percent and therefore exceeded the corresponding quota for the Second World War.
