Though there may be more death in Yemen, the war in Ukraine is more important for many reasons. One is that you have the world's largest country, a nuclear superpower, attacking Europe's second largest country. This on a continent, the stability of which provides stability for much of the rest of the world. The action Putin has taken affects the whole world. What happens in Yemen does not. The fear of a world war does not grow from Yemen. Yemen's importance in the world is incomparable to Ukraine's. Ukraine grows a huge amount of food, supplies all kinds of processed materials, exports drugs, and even manufactures a substantial amount of important industrial things. Yemen does none of that. Yemen will have more people go into true poverty due to the rising cost of bread arising from the war in Ukraine than from its own war.
- s1artibartfast 5y agoThe question is who it is more important to. Ukraine is more important to someone in Poland, but not someone in Yemen. These things are relative. Europe is not some unique bastion of peace, there are many other peaceful places on the planet.
- yostrovs 5y agoYou may have not read my entire comment. I'll repeat that the lack of exports of Ukrainian and Russian wheat because of the war will cause a lot more poverty, and maybe even death in Yemen, than its own war. Add the entire middle east that survives on Russian and Ukrainian wheat, and maybe you can understand how Ukraine may be more important to the middle east than Yemen, which is already there.
