HN often covers major news events, and wars fall into that category. Their impact is wide-ranging and of large import. I don't see an issue with the occasional HN coverage of it.
I could see an argument that this conflict might be getting a disproportionate amount of posts, because it seems to have aroused a lot of passion among some of the HN audience. Would Doctors Without Borders condemning Russia in Ukraine warrant a HN post? Don't know, probably not.
- aguaviva 2y agoIt wasn't the moral condemnation, but their weighing in on a hotly disputed case (along with the fact that they're a highly respected organization with first-hand knowledge of what's been happening on the ground) that makes the post interesting and relevant. Unfortunately the poster botched/distorted the article title, but that's a separate issue.
