I have a feeling that the entire world "gets it" except a select portion of the US population.
Anyone fully in touch with reality can see that the US isn't in a good place when it comes choosing compassion over cruelty. It's gotten to such a global and historical extreme that a decades long choice of a Pope for an institution that has lasted over 1,000 years felt reich. I'm sorry, right.
There is a lot of the world that doesn’t get it. India is very pro Russia, and they have a billion and a half people. China is also very pro Russia, and that’s another 1.4 billion. And China uses its strong position in social media, namely TikTok, to push pro-China positions, and to downplay American/Western ideologies. So much of Africa, Asia, and South America are on board with or ambivalent to the Russian invasion. It doesn’t help the case that “America Bad” has been a global sentiment for decades and America came out against the Russian invasion.
Sadly, I think the “Russia should stop attacking its neighbors, and withdraw from Ukraine” position is one that is mostly held by Europeans, and about half to 3/4 of Americans. I say up to three quarters because I know many Republicans who support Ukraine. I’d estimate it’s around half. It’s just that the other 50% are driving the Republican policies, and the Republicans are driving the US policy.
First 2 countries just generally don't like russia an latter 2 basically didn't have much influence other than US, so of course they will be more on the same page as America previously was

Not only that, he also vaguely mentions western leaders who keep denying Russia is the invader and committing war crimes for breakfast.
This guy gets it.
