What is the common factor in how the world responds to controversial actions by countries like Saudi Arabia and the situation in Ukraine?

According to Katty Kay, the commonality in these political situations is 'time and amnesia.' She points out that just six years ago after Jamal Khashoggi was killed in the Saudi consulate in Turkey, there was widespread outcry with Saudi Arabia being condemned as a 'pariah state' by both Republicans and Democrats in Washington, D.C. However, this outrage has faded over time. Similarly with Ukraine, Kay draws a parallel to how memory and time affect international responses. The clip highlights how moral outrage diminishes as economic and political interests take precedence over democratic principles.
