I'm normally on board with Americans being more aware of their place in the world, but we're currently in an escalating genocide here in the States. The Russian kill lists were talked about months ago, and the Texas transgender list news only recently broke and is part of a larger effort to systemically genocide people in the States. The war in Ukraine hasn't had significant news in some time. We already know Russia war crimes indiscriminately on a quest for genocide. This doesn't mean it isn't worthy of talking about, but it's also important for Americans to point out what's happening in other countries that are experiencing/have experienced genocide and say "Kinda weird that it's happening here."
Also, you have to know what's going on in other countries in order to compare in the first place.
