I live close to Russia. It’s one of my closest neighbours.
I fear war. I know I shouldn’t spread this fear… but hell I can’t help myself. I think about war between Russia and Ukraine, and about Vladimir’s Putin’s personality, intentions everyday.
There’s also a very small possibility leaving my country if the war starts (because of our roads)
I am not being political here,
I simply say I fear war as hell. As Putin always says “Lithuania, Latvia or Estonia, or even Poland could be next”.
I have an upcoming talk online by the National Psychological Association of Ukraine, I’m hoping that people will see the distress this is having on people and start thinking of a solution.
Just Lithuania’s news are mostly about war. No matter how hard you try to think something else, you can’t if your turn on a aTV.
I believe the reason this happens is because we’re close neighbours…
I also think similarly… Putin didn’t managed to win this war. And probably won’t win.
just the more I think about war, the more scared I feel. Like, I still believe he is a crazy guy and I believe he could use a nuclear bomb.
And overall it’s very f u c k e d up that these things, like wars happens on 21th century
It’s hard to believe that one person can have so much power or influence over such large events or over the lives of so many people. It’s a crazy endeavor.
Just on tv we hear from time to time that if Ukraine loses - we’re next. Or some other neighbour.
And the war ending is quite unknown yet. Maybe I am being a bit too paranoid about the thing
Overall I need to start reading less books about wars. Probably need to read some more basic stuff because it’s partially my fault on being too much focused on war.
Jeeesus you just wrote my thoughts!! I can’t help myself, I just think how such crazy person has so lots and lots of influence and rules the biggest world country.
I know of Belarus maybe supporting Putin and then China. I guess it just depends on which governments are in power. Idk much about the details. I’m gonna read up on some recent Ukraine stuff. I don’t come across a lot of information from the stuff I watch in the states. I do know some people here also support Putin.
Yeah ive read a few war history books. Mostly about the events of ww2. Scary stuff. I hope you find some time to keep your mind off the current war. Maybe try to be more present in the now. Ask yourself ‘is it happening here, right now?’ And if not, know that you are safe and relax.
