Ukraine

Putin knows attacking any NATO state would cause either a scorched earth or the entire decimation of Russia so he can't risk that unless he completely lost all his marbles in which case I think his buddies will not co operate.

And that's why I believe it's not the war the media is talking about. I don’t like conspiracy theories and I don't give them attention, but it seems like Putin either never wanted to win over Ukraine or Russia lost, when they couldn't get to kiew, with their big convoy of tanks and military vehicles.

Jeez the war started with young russian soldiers in rusty jeeps, believing to go on a military drill, they did walk around small towns and pointed weapons on ukrainians, talking about what's going on here. That's not a war, right? The leaders wouldn't send their soldiers in other countries, not knowing about anything, if they wouldn't already have a welcoming household somewhere else, safe from their enemies, or they got insane and want to see the atomic apocalypse with their own eyes.

EDIT: If somebody got some tipps, about handling the impact of this war please let me know:unsure:

Again : take a break from the media if it's affecting you too much. I did the same and it helped. There's no point in worrying about things that are out of your control.
I know that's easier said than done, but really step 1 for that is stop watching the news and reading this thread.

One of th things Putin counted on was the world getting bored/weary of the war, and tuning out. It's a balancing act. Staying engaged with world new, without getting obsessed by it.

Yeah that's great advice for someone who's not stressed out about it, which is what pablo is saying he already is.
World leaders and mentally healthy people provide enough backlash. No need for Pablo to be involved to the point of stress in a war he's not part of.
 
Dunno, it's kinda like I'm not being worthy anymore, to life this privileged life, without sharing it with some ukrainians or traitoring russians.
 
Various reports on the Sky News website this afternoon:

Coach loads of conscripts have started fighting with police in Omsk.

Protests are spreading through major cities.

The exodus of young men from Russia continues. There is divided opinion from European leaders, some say all those fleeing should be accepted and given save harbour, others that the men should be turned back and told that it is their job to change the Putin regime.

Putin is reported to be directing ground operations now, generating huge tension between him and the army.

There are plenty of good charities helping Ukrainians. A few months ago, I sent money to World Central Kitchen. They were feeding refugies at the borders who left Ukraine with not much more than the clothes they were wearing.

Somehow, I don't think that pissing off Russian Generals is a "healthy" thing to do.

We earn credits for an employee rewards program at work - I’ve gotten loads of stuff over the years.

Since the war started, they’ve fixed it so we can donate our credits to a few Ukraine-specific charities, and one of those is WCK, so that’s where I’ve been donating as well.
 
Elon Musk did ask Twitter, if annexed regions in Ukraine should be given to Russia without fighting, so the civilians could get some safety.

In response Zelensky asked Twitter what's better, Elon Musk supporting Ukraine or Russia... that went fast, but who doesn't understands his anger.

Last I looked, 84 percent of responders said Elon Musk should support Ukraine.

Now that Ford, GM, VW/Audi and just about everyone else is making electric cars (and trucks), Elon should focus on Tesla's survival. I don't think the company can survive on sales to Russia alone.

My boss (millionaire) gave a charity brunch in the beginning of the war and gave some ukrainians a room in his hotel. As good as it seems and every stuffed belly is a good belly for sure, I believe he did do it more to get some praising from his rich companions, he's not into helping ukrainians more than necessary since the second month of war. Maybe Elon Musk had the same intent, as he pointed out it's just to end the killing in these areas.

Teslas biggest cash cow might be their big batteries, for the future electric grid not for cars.
