I can't find what you posted but I did find this report from Pakistan that makes some very fine points...
She's kinda making the same point that I have made about how we seem to care more about this Ukraine war than we do about Yemen, Syria and Palestine. I have put this down to the fact we have geopolitical interests, rather than systemic racism, but when people on the BBC are talking about the refugees having "blonde hair and blue eyes", that for me is a dogwhistle. Did the BBC know this guy was going to say that? I doubt it, I just don't think there's an audience for it in the UK, who the BBC is primarily aiming their material at. But there's certainly a difference between the way this war is reported compared to the many other wars going on right now.
The narrative is that Putin is more of a danger to our own countries than the likes of Saudi Arabia, but the irony of course if that no Russian terrorists have ever flown planes into buildings on American territory.
