How does Katty Kay view modern geopolitical actions in relation to colonialism?

Katty Kay draws striking parallels between modern geopolitical actions and colonial practices, particularly in the context of Saudi Arabia and Ukraine. She describes how countries are being 'carved up' with rulers drawn with little consideration for the actual inhabitants, similar to colonial times when borders were arbitrarily created without regard for local populations. Kay emphasizes the corrupting influence of the 'huge amount of money' involved in these international deals, whether in the Gulf or Ukraine, which not only creates opportunities for corruption but undermines our collective moral standards. She questions the inconsistency in how we label certain actors as 'pariahs' for their actions, noting how public amnesia allows for shifting ethical standards in international relations.
