To Yemen, Syria, Rohingya (Myanmar), Ethiopia, the horrific floods and/or droughts in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Haiti, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo? Ukraine only got the world's attention because Russia ruthlessly invaded. The rest, hardly any... Even with celebrities like George Clooney (Sudan) and a handful of others trying to gain attention.

So, maybe you want to rethink that grotesque hyperbole. sigh..

In that were so, then what's being done by Iran to the Afghan refugees would be the situation getting the publicity. DavidDvorkin Jul 24 #6

Actually, it's far worse. AloeVera Jul 24 #9

Far worse than what is happening in Iran in the course of just a few weeks? Beastly Boy Jul 24 #11
