Unfortunately a lot of us did, but we are wising up now. The war in Ukraine and Palestine happening so close to one another allowed us to have on tape western leaders contradicting themselves.

Surprising amounts of people outside the west actually looked favorably on the western liberal model. Western support for Israel is making it impossible to do now though.
