We care because having some unhinged old man with no checks on his power is bad. As you may be aware, said senile old man just invaded a neighboring country. The same issue we have with DPRK. Last time we did the "mind our own business" the jerk of the moment took most of Europe and killed several million people. Putin is doing his best to exterminate the Ukrainians now.

But you don't live in thise countries and they are sovreign, you do not get to project your ways on others as if they are superior. A bunch of uneducated ignorant people voting for the loudest asshole isn't a perfect or better way either. America and the wesr enjoy a nice economy and military so things are ok there are many countries where democracies devolve into civil wars and dictatorships or worse because people aren't happy and the loudest scariest dude wins in a democracy. The whole point of sovreignity is that the people of that countey self-determine without outside influence. Now, if your country recognizes some component of a foreign state as the legitimate ruler then by all means but both dprk and russia are ruled by american recognized rulers so by what law or reason outside of social media rage do you justify your outrage? Regardless of the ruler or government invading another country means more countries that have an interest in the invaded country can get involved because sovreignity was violates. In case of hitler the moment he invaded another country it was everyone's concern just like putin but before that it was only the german people who had a say in who leads them. If I remember right even hitler was voted in and his socialist party won election because they were loud and scary. Twitter is a company that operates under US laws not under the laws of random public outrage. If you want your government to sanction doing business in russia or declare war on it by all means call your rep or discuss that until then it is perfectly acceptable for twitter to operate in Russia which means obeying their laws. By your logic, what if a UK company refuses to block illegal content in the US. They are both democracies so the UK co should obey laws? But if the US became a dictatorship then it should break laws? What is this nonsense, you expect companies to break laws because you don't like the government of a foreign country?
