Russia has invaded Ukraine.

It's like having a criminal break into your house.

If my neighbours are unhappy with me taking action against that criminal - maybe they're friends with him - I'm not much inclined, in the situation, to have much sympathy.

And United States have invaded Iraq, Afganistan and Lybia. Should all American citizens and companies be cut off the internet for that?

State actors, at some point, have all been criminals waging wars to further their goals using taxpayers' money.

I hate all of them, but I wonder why wars in the middle east don't trigger sanctions and media attention and this invasion does.

This one does because of Russia’s previous exploits in the area. Most notably, Holodomir: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Holodomor

Ukrainians know what’s next, just like my ancestors did: genocide
