The people who stand to lose the most in a situation will always act with the highest clarity and urgency. It’s true in general that we must save ourselves and can’t expect the ruling classes of other nations to step in to stop even the highest crime against humanity.
At the end of the day, the global ruling class is self-interested and only acts against that when there comes to be very few alternatives. That said, the discontent around the world is growing and it’s only a matter of time until it reaches a tipping point.
As for the non-west, nobody wants to start a war or draw the ire of the west without having much capacity to change what is happening. That’s my speculative opinion, at least. At this point I’d ask someone more knowledgeable on global politics to chime in.
