“Why care about other countries instead of focusing on our own” is often a manipulative way to say “let’s allow xenophobia and sacrifice other nationalities to fuel our own”.
And I’m sorry, but the guy in the last picture probably has it much easier than people going through the war in Ukraine.
The USA shouldn’t be funding wars abroad when it’s own people are starving and homeless. This is not xenophobia. That is common sense. The USA shouldn’t be funding wars period, actually.
Men in Ukraine can’t even cross the border to escape that Nazi death cult, nevermind vote to end this intractable war over natural resources that America started.
“Why care about other countries instead of focusing on our own”
What about Ukraine and Israel make them notable relative to, say, Brazil or The Philippines or Angola? Why is “caring” restricted entirely to sending in more military hardware for the purposes of butchering enemy troops and infrastructure?

Until the police come by, sure. But guess where else we’re dropping tens of billions of dollars.
I never said that Brazil or the Philippines or Angola shouldn’t be helped. And I don’t see why helping no countries at all would be better than helping a few (well other than Israel, which is trying really hard to top off the nazis).
None of what you mentioned is related to what I had written. My point was that there is no moral grounds to try to say “we should help us americans instead of those stupid foreigners”. The sad facts that which countries get helped and where the budgets get put are heavily dependant on the personal interest of politicians is not linked to that, it just adds problems on top.
Lol fuck that. Nobody in a bad spot wants to hear that some underage minority prostitutes in some bigoted religious third world country have it worse. There is always someone who has it worse, in fact this is one of the most common deflections when the marginalized ask for (literal) change.
