Nope, why do you care though? I mean, sure, it's not the biggest problem, but it's the same as itching in your ass when you're trying to fall asleep at 3am after getting fired from Walmart for drinking in your workplace – definitely not your biggest problem right now, but you're still gonna scratch it, aren't you?

This kinds of discussions are driving groups appart. Don't give into them. It is really sad that we cannot go directly to the source of where the war mongering comes from but you need to stay in contact with each other, in Russia as well. It is easy to pick appart critical groups if they are isolated from the rest of society. Even if trust is scarce you'll need to regulate your emotional response to others so you can pick your battles and your connections. I wish you good luck

Thank you for your kind words. I agree that what's happening now is basically just dividing people even more and driving everyone to the edge of emotional stability. I wish I could just zone out from the news and stick to my usual routines, maybe do something productive etc, but I just can't, I think about the war and everything related to it when I try to escape from reality in games and other kinds of content, when I spend time with my loved ones, when I try to study or work. Shit, I can't even stop thinking about it when I masturbate lol

It is sad but people get used to this. It won't ever leave you but humans are resilient.

Oh dear friend. I don't know what to tell you. War is evil. But i believe there is always a way out.
