Yea, that's unfortunate, I believe both Ukraine, Afghanistan and Iraq are some war ravaged countries whose people need help regardless of their organ's color (skin, hair, eye, you name it). I was in for supporting Syrian refugees back then, the same way I am in for supporting the Ukrainian ones now, and it sucks seeing people making comparisons like these. However, I cannot see how this makes Bellingcat, and even Vice, that is one of the most progressive leaning news outlets out there, unreliable, especially due to racism problems.

used to think Europe might have some hope of being better than genocidal USA

Just go to Russia, mate, in Russia there is no racism, everyone is allowed to protest, you've got free elections that ensure rotating power over the course of the years, there's no homophobia unlike in the West, they are the most progressive nation on Earth. Just go there and let us be genocidal with ourselves if that's your thing.
