Exactly. We in the West also need to realize how ignorant we are about the rest of the world, through complacence combined with the deliberate suppression/distortion of media coverage. We're also too often guilty of conflating a country with its people, assuming the actions of its leaders reflect the wishes of the population. Sometimes it does because we're not the only ones who have been kept in a narrative bubble but when you hear firsthand reports of what average people are saying as Ania K shares, you get a very different picture.
