this is terrible for them, because even though Russia doesn't fully conquer Ukraine, Putin manages to keep the war going on in someone else's country for years, as they have done many times in the past, so after a while the country ends up becoming a barren land and hostile, where most of the good citizens preferred to try for life elsewhere, leaving only militias that will fight for power in an eternal civil war.

I read this book 'Human kind: a hopeful history' and in it the author concludes that societies themselves are actually very very difficult to disrupt. The Blitz and Berlin during WWII, The siege of Sarajevo. It was expected that bombs would cause cities to fall into chaos and stop functioning. Turns out that's almost never worked. Of course you can firebomb cities to the ground (Dresden, Hiroshima) but even then, the cities return to normal functioning places rather quickly.
History has show that people will endure a lot before they choose to abandon social order.

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.

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?

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

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.

To help sway population opinion. Look at 2nd Iraq war, polling after the invasion still had swathes of the population believing Saddam was linked to 9/11. Government plus the media did that to help back the war.
Remember the incubator story from the first Gulf war. A key inflection point to move the American public and Congress toward supporting war in Iraq was the gruesome 1990 testimony of a Kuwaiti girl named Nayirah, who described how Iraqi troops killed 312 babies.

We no longer see just the high-value 5 second shot of an explosion from the street chosen for it’s excitement value to keep viewers watching that channel. We now see intimate security footage inside a normal looking cafe that is relatable and goes viral for that reason.
Oh and there’s a ton more high-def cameras so the amount of footage is radically higher.
And surely dress and race and architecture all play a part in that distance but don’t downplay how different this footage is despite being of a “bombing”

This is partially because Dresden wasn't hit as bad a people thought. Goebbels wanted to use the city as propaganda to the neutral countries and to vilify the bombing of German cities. In reality, AT MOST 25k people died with the city largely going back to normal within months. For context, 45k are reported dead from the Blitz in London alone.

Because this is propaganda and they cut the part where she was just chilling on her phone with the fridge wide open.

And who's gonna just let tens of millions people in? They are not in the EU.

It’s really sad that so many German women were raped by the approaching Soviet soldiers. These women went from waiting in line for bread, to being raped by the communists.

Thousands of German women and children were raped during this “well justified” invasion.

It’s in the comment I replied to. No reason to cut the video and repost it - unless you’re trying to create a narrative and the victim ruins your appeal to emotion by exhibiting poor social behavior.

Shower thought: Wish we could send anti-care packages to the ruskies. Include things that wouldn't help like low quality brown pants, fake ammo, and really bad tasting decaf instant coffee.

Your appeal to emotion to someone getting bombed is ruined by the fact that she is on her phone? That’s ridiculous and honestly shameful

There's a difference in the term invasion and generally being an asshole of a human that uses women as toys in such an invasion. The invasion itself was well justified, but the war crimes (on all sides) weren't.

Interesting that we lock down for covid, but not for a literal war. Somehow this seems more dangerous. That is all.

I am the OP and indeed basically my point... as much as it pains me I believe the right wing fascists (USA or elsewhere) will continue to grow in power simply because so many get their underwear in a bunch over "finding and correcting the right vocabulary in order to have a dialog about a inclusive conservation to discuss equity across stakeholders" or some other navel gazing bullsh*t to avoid having to fight the fight. In the meantime those fascists douchebags are taking away rights, territory and country... yeah buddy, we're in a war and propaganda is a serious part of it... and yeah if Russians don't want to make the sacrifice to get rid of Putin, F them... same thing in the US... if the country (this includes independents and liberals) doesn't want to step up to stop this white nationalist fascism (which just means getting up early, standing in line for day and jumping through whatever hoops are being used to stop the vote)... then F them as well.
I find I odd that a few folks downvoted you... guess they miss Saddam, Osama and Gadhafi... and seeing by up votes can tell either the trolls are here or some serious dumbfuqs.
