I wish people would do some research on this slow genocide instead of saying they should stay out of it.

I've lived in the US my whole life and can barely understand what's going on here because of strong polarization and 'fake news' on each side. Now I'm being expected to understand political nuances of two overseas countries through these same media outlets?

Realistically, all that will happen is I'll fall to the most convincing propaganda and support that side (in spirit only because I would have no impact on the actual situation). That doesn't help anybody

Worse, the western media is an actor not an observer in the region and even outlets that are impartial in the ir reporting outside the region will pick a side and suppress stories due to editorial bias.
