It is known Afghan, Iraqi, Kurdish, Yemeni, Lybian, and Honduran children don't sing Disney songs, just their weird folk music. That's why they lost.
EDIT: Read the piece. It's full of quotable quotes, such as "This is Hollywood Storytelling 101: He badly miscalculated the good" (Of course a Disney-obsessed entertainment writer would think in those terms), "You can’t bomb an indomitable spirit into submission", and "It is not a stretch to say that, at this moment in time, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is leader of the free world".
I am literally at my wits' end with this whole "Ukraine is special" situation. I've interviewed Haitian, Honduran and Venezuelan refugees in Chiapas and Mexico City, and all their stories are as heartbreaking and blood-ridden as any coming out of Ukraine these days, but they've found no such succor from the media or the world's governments. Which is not to say Ukrainians don't deserve our sympathy as they endure an invasion from one of the world's military powers. But the hypocrisy is becoming very taxing.
