I remember that headline during the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine "This is the first war of my lifetime between civilized countries". So obvious what they meant.
I really hated how people talked about "war in Europe!" as something extra horrible and tragic, unlike when it is brown people being at war which doesn't warrant the same moral outrage.
Yugoslavia got its civilized status revoked before it got bombed, apparantly.
