It’s because they’re not being bombed

TBF, if it wakes you up, you're fine.

I too had the same thought.

Oh that makes sense

These people have nerves of steel she barely flinched

Nah man, Russia just wanted to make sure the fridge door got shut

I'm glad it didn't do damage to the glassware.

My boss once fought with the fire department to try and keep our store open during a flood. I'm positive a missile wouldn't close us.

Bunch of nazis

In Kyiv most people still do their day to day. You just hope the Kamikaze drones don't hit you. Pretty much like London under V2 attacks in WWII.

He is in the Kremlin guarded by the security service. Just as Biden is in the white house. Not russia or USA will try to kill the other leader. It's a no no.

Not op, but it's Russian lives that should be lost fighting the Russian government, not Ukrainian lives. Every free living Russian is responsible for every Ukrainian death because they were too much of a coward to put their own lives on the line. They make a choice to put themselves (the ones responsible for their government) above innocent people.

Russians are complicit. Propaganda or not, they crafted this situation every day of their lives and they are responsible for the results. Fuck your "hate the government not the people" bullshit. The people are the government and if they truly wanted this to stop, it would have stopped or they'd be dead.

Many animate! Most eastereggs! Much Wow!

Who should snipe him? And what would it change? This isn't a Hollywood movie.

US agents killing the russian leader would easily result in something like WWIII.

Russia won’t fall because of sanctions. But it already did once also because of a war.

These people are literally not safe at work

Solid electrical grid. Didn’t even flicker .

Yeah when the soviets were almost at Berlin, women in the city would be waiting outside in a lineup waiting for their food rations. Soviet artillery would be causing explosions all around them, but none of them would run for cover as they would then lose their place in the ration lineup.

Mind you, im not saying that the Soviet invasion into Germany didnt cause panic because it really did. But by this point people on the homefront were absolutely starving in Germany.

Note: im generalizing here a bit. Rereading what I said, I definitely was a bit too declarative with the “nobody”’s

The missile woke him the hell up and voided his bowels, so there's no need for the coffee anymore!

References I see off the bat:

My reaction to the drone attack was-"Mom, let me sleep!". So yeah pretty much

Okay, this may get me some hate, but scenes like this hit me more emotionally that seeing the scenes of bombings in the middle east that conquered the airwaves during the 2000s. Like everytime they showed any middle eastern place hit by some kind, any kind of bomb it felt so....foreign and unreal. It looked like they barely had anything there to begin with or were living in some backwards place with already crumbling buildings and living in some weird medieval society. I recognize that this is a bias from how the western media portrayed it and what they chose to show and how they talked about it. Like "oh well this is just a fact of life for that region, it's always been and goong to be like that"

But when I see a place like this in Ukraine? I have literally been in a cafe that looked almost exactly like this. So this felt more real to me. Like I could imagine what her life was normally like before stuff like this happening rather than the more alien sort of feeling i got from other bombing reports and not even being able to conceptualize what daily life was like there.

Does that make me a bad person?

So considerate of that missile to close the fridge.

I actually think it's a fairly old video, I want to say that it was this spring, based on the clothing. I might be wrong though, this sht feels like a long ass week to me at this point. It's even more business-as-usual-like now, many actually returned from aboard, and many more intend to do so, according to a few polls. In fact, a lot of people even in the cities that are right near the frontline like Kharkov refused to leave, even though before the counter-offensive the city was bombed 30 out of 31 days of the month. And some took about a month of living under occupation to finally decide to leave.

Now that the energy infrastructure and centralized heating infrastructure are under attack, "business as usual" also includes different kinds of business continuity plans. People buy generators and batteries, make fuel supplies for the winter, insulate their houses, look for ways to maintain the internet and other connections during blackouts.

The point is, a lot of people choose to stay where their home is even when it's scary. And when the desire to stay home outweighs the fear, people have no other options but to adjust to their new reality.

And it's probably what amazes me the most about these people, how fear doesn't just force them to escape the danger, but motivates them to persevere and mitigate the risks, so that they and everyone around them can feel safe, even if they can't really be 100% safe. And it's not something you can easily learn, I know I didn't.
