Tim Judah, writing on Ukraine, but with a line that seems to be true of much modern life and politics:

“To borrow a phrase from the name of the book by Samantha Power, Ukraine is the new problem from hell, and it is not going away so that everyone else can have an easier life in which they don’t have to make hard, risky, and unpleasant decisions.”

Replace Ukraine with poverty, inequality, crime, Gaza…take your pick.

Update: running this morning after posting and remembered this front cover from The Onion.
