In addition to what others have already said, this line in particular is complete bullshit. The vast majority of the world doesn’t care about Ukraine in any way beyond “war is bad,” and indeed a large chunk of the global south has expressed that the war is entirely the West’s fault for provoking Russia constantly since the collapse of the USSR. The only people suffering from the war are in Ukraine, Russia, or any of a number of European nations that were strong-armed into shutting off their access to Russian fossil fuels by the US so American oil companies could dominate the energy markets in that region of the world at the expense of workers who saw their utility bills go up 4x overnight.

Well, no. Those aren’t the only people suffering. Millions of people are suffering due to the grain deal falling apart. Both the US and Russia urged Africans to be patient as food from Ukraine and Russia will continue to be exported to them. Russia and Ukraine partially went through with this until recently. The blame aside, at least Russia and Ukraine provided something to Africans. I don’t believe the US has done anything substantial which shouldn’t be surprising. Africans still remember the US promising vaccines before giving them Jack shit, which is why they’re willing to talk with Russia and China more than they are with the US or Europe. They may not care about Ukraine’s conflict, but they care about the food being impacted by said conflict. Otherwise they wouldn’t keep urging Russia and Ukraine to broker a new deal since the war started.
