I didn't comment on whether or not the prominence of US and international news and politics was good or bad, just explaining why it dominates.

Depends. I’m not American, most of the US politics don’t affect me.

Fair enough. But much of the world has a good knowledge of US politics even if they are not affected. Including me. And Americans are disproportionately overrepresented on social media sites like this.

Moreover, international news certainly can be commented on.

You feel tye same way about ukraine too. The world is the way it is jecause too many people ignore reality.
