russia blew up the dam and plans to blow up the nuclear power plant. Why does the West have such a hard time grasping this? What is wrong with our brains?

I'm a westerner, have lived my whole life in the West, and I just cannot get it. Are we fools? It just doesn't make any sense. "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." And yet we keep letting russia fool us. Over and over and over. Shame on us!
Unfortunately. I even do know why some westerns still allow them to be fooled. Each time when I meet some western in any state in the USA and who is interested in Ukraine, I try to explain all situations as much quicker as I can, you know.
I mean unfortunately the easiest explanation is that the West doesn’t give a shit. It’s only a surprise now because it’s Europeans and traditionally we’ve ignored the suffering of other peoples. (Or caused it.)
From 2015-2022 there was very little info in US mass media unless you sought it out. Lots of otherwise smart people thought it was a civil war in Donbas and that Crimea chose its fate.
