Today the Ukraine vs Russia thingy seems to have slipped right down the pecking order of virtually all the major news outlets (notably the BBC and Sky News).
Yesterday it seemed to occupy the foremost headline slot in nearly all the UK's outlets after mostly being lower key and more 'in the background' since around November-December, but yesterday also seemed to be a slower news day on the domestic front.
Although I'm trying to keep a level head during all of this but I can't help wondering how this current situation compares with that of say, 1939?
The last-but-one post was very interesting as he/she harked back to the panic expressed on here concerning the Iran atrocities in early January 2020 and various other similar war-related panics that have been known to crop up before it every now and then; another fairly recent example prior to then being in the spring of 2018 following the Salisbury poisoning incident in early March followed by (unconnected) atrocities in Syria around early April.
Of course what will be will be, and the media must ultimately report on the Ukraine/Russia affair responsibly and with minimal scaremongering/
sensationalism over what might or might not happen.
I told you this would be the January crisis. Now I'm convinced we're heading for a nuclear war. I don't know what to do, what to say. I had a meltdown over it last night. I haven't had one that bad since 2016.
But nothing has actually happened yet though Frank.
There's still ongoing negotiations as opposed to waltzing into a full-blown world war willy-nilly. I thought that one of the main purposes of NATO, the UN, etc was to lessen the chances of all-out 1940s style global conflicts.
Also, are Russia still the same beasts they were back in the 70s and 80s era?
Have built a bunker,Frank?
It's scary I know, I am worried but try reading this: https://debunkingdoomsday.quora.com/...-attack-the-Uk
