Turkey, Greece and Spain are ethnically as white as Ukraine is, they're all Caucasian nations. As I actually live in Europe, these countries aren't seen as "outsiders" outside of maybe Turkey, but that's cause of their predominantly Islamic faith (I myself get along great with everyone, just speaking of the typical European), I say predominantly, cause Turkey has Christians too.
And it's not like Europe actually is actively Christian either! West Europe especially is probably the most atheist place in the world, outside of China. That being said, yes, it's extremely saddening to see the world caring more about Ukraine cause they're white. I think the Christian part is especially emphasized by Americans though.
Russia has way more claim to being a Christian nation, as most are predominantly Orthodox Christian, but there are quite a lot of Islamic people there too (a fact not many are aware of).
Not that Christ would advocate any of this....... That's another discussion by itself however. It does seem like a war that could escalate into apocalyptic events as described in Revelations, my personal convictions are clear about this.
But keeping it on topic, and since Turkey was mentioned, what would the general consensus be of Erdogan in this conflict I wonder? Like Russia and NATO, Turkey is also quite open of wanting to reclaim what they feel is theirs (the old Ottoman Empire). I wonder what his ambitions would be in this conflict... So far, I think politically he'd side with NATO, if it came down to it, but I don't think they'd make a very stable ally for them.
