Yes, it reminds me a lot of all those strategy boardgames I used to play. Collecting a resource there, getting acces to the sea here and the goal is to take over not to have your own country running in order...
We learn nothing.
And we also think everyone is taking money and comfort quite as seriously as we are...
Same. I think about how my mum, born in 1946, grew up in an Air Force household expecting war at any time right up until 1989. And now she has to see her kids and grandkids face that future again.
Yes, this threat looming again is upsetting a lot of older people. My dad (born 1930) is talking about WWII non-stop, my mom (born 1940) about fleeing Vienna as a kids before the Russians came. And my mother in law is from Poland and is basically convinced that the Russians will invade everywhere just for fun.
For now, I'm just hoping Putin gets eaten by a bear. In front of cameras so nobody can get blamed for it.
I approve of this solution. Much better than the "he is sick" thing that is going around everywhere.
