at that time UK was not bombing Russia, directly, via proxy or giving weapons to country bombing Russia. Also, UK was not calling Russia to be removed from the world map etc.

I was horrified over Russia killing a guy in the UK mostly for strategic reasons, because that indicated Russia can kill people with impunity. I had cared almost nothing about far more people dying elsewhere in Africa or on Chinese/Indian border etc. I cared about this more for strategic reasons than ethical ones.

I’m rooting for him due to the seethe he triggers in Reddit-types.
It is curious you like trolling so much to the point of rooting for 19 year old fucking 12 year old. Or maybe the second part is actually a good thing according to you.

If the modal European could wave their hands and stop immigration they would. But if they see a picture of a crying child they will cave every time.
not really? On Eastern border wall is build and maintained, EU is bribing countries across North Africa so they will keep migrants away (including shooting them as needed, though that part is left implied). Organisations picking up migrants from human traffickers near Libyan shores are being hit by annoying regulations, disrupting their activities (as is the EU way).
I met some people annoyed about both and their "picture of a crying child" strategy is not too convincing.
Bar may be on the ground or buried, but it is quite ironic that fundamental border controls that are somehow controversial are actually done in EU.

lack of classical architecture
To select this one: surely it is also symptom, not a root cause?
And for my ensuring that it hold true in geographic sense is personally quite important to me.
Well, Eastern Europe is going to disagree for obvious reasons.
