Fine. I'll discuss Saudi Arabia.

The media and the Democratic Party "care" when a journalist is murdered.  They don't care that thousands of people have been criminally victimized by voyeurism and involuntary pornography in the United States since 2010.

The media and the Democratic Party "care" about the war in Yemen.  They don't care about the war in Syria, because, apparently, starving people in Yemen deserve to be starving less than starving people in Syria.  And also starving people in Venezuela; they deserve to be starving more than the starving people in Yemen.

The media and the Democratic Party "care" that President Trump is no longer trading barbs with the government of North Korea on Twitter, even though they also "cared" when he was.  They don't care about the strategic importance of Syria for smuggling and sanction evasion.

When I say that it isn't within my present capacity to understand a current issue, sometimes it means that I don't know anything about it and am going through too much to try to figure it out right now.  Sometimes it means that I have some idea but that I haven't read about it for a while, know that I'm going through too much to do a lot of reading about it, and don't want to offer an opinion that would waste everyone's time at best and be detrimental at worst.
