How much has that been an artifact of Ukraine being somewhat geographically close to a Russia-involved military invasion, where you know the front line is few hours ride away, and could at any time move surprisingly close to your home?

As oppose to a 2 week boat ride to a mysterious mountain desert place that's biggest threat to you is that they could hypothetically 911 another liberal city you don't care about?

I'm not sure we could safely conclude this difference.
