A senior foreign correspondent at CBS News apologized Saturday after he said on air that the war in Ukraine can’t be compared to those in Iraq and Afghanistan — because the Eastern European nation is more “civilized.”
Correspondent Charlie D’Agata was reporting from Kyiv, Ukraine when he said Friday that Ukraine “isn’t a place, with all due respect, like Iraq or Afghanistan, that has seen conflict raging for decades.
“This is a relatively civilized, relatively European — I have to choose those words carefully, too — city, where you wouldn’t expect that or hope that it’s going to happen,” he continued.
D’Agata issued an apology on the broadcaster’s streaming network Saturday, after his comments went viral — racking up more than 1.5 million views on Twitter — and were swiftly condemned as racist and historically inaccurate.

I keel you!
“relatively civilized”
Kind of like some American cities during daylight hours.
Improper for CBS to state a fact?

izlamo delenda est …
First, they lie, then when the truth slips out, they apologize. WAFJ
@Anonymous, silence! I kill you.
And when will any of them apologize for calling America a RACIST country? Not holding my breath
Afghanistan and Iraq are full of sand niggers.
Considering that Afghanistan and Iraq are basically still living in the 7th century I would say that Ukraine is more than likely more “civilized” than either Afghanistan or Iraq, or Iran or Pakistan.
Ukraine is more civilized than Chicago. Want to guess why?
Civilized like 19th century civilized compared to 12th century civilized.
Far less inbreeding and goat fucking compared to the sand people.
So, this is a civilized war?
Nothing islamic is civilized.
Say what you mean Charlie:
Ukraine is predominantly WHITE!
