      Sure, but it does cause people from outside the West to view the whole thing as just white people feuding rather than protecting universal human rights. Someone from, say, India might sympathise with the latter goal but won’t gave a shit about the former, which actively sabotages the Ukrainian cause. Point being: As long as the West treats human rights as a cudgel to beat people it doesn’t like with, the rest of the world will want out.
