Stocks down, crypto down. People panicking over their bags. All of this is irrelevant when you think about what the people of Ukraine and Russia are going through. Yes, civilians from both side we should think about, because those are the ones who are and will be suffering because of the decisions the leaders have made somewhere over their heads.
People talk about casualties and taking in land or a city. That makes it sound clear and plastic. Abstract.
‘These are not statistics ladies and gentlemen, they are flesh and blood. And I want you to burn those images in your memories. Because those images will haunt us until the day we die’ - Outbreak 1995
But these are people’s lives, their houses, their futures, their families. There is nothing more to say about this and write 400 words on how much this sucks. War is just terrible with only losers.
Yeah, fuckety fuck fuck x
Amen to that...😔
