Croatia was at war for 4 years, my dad still worked, my aunt worked in school, we went to school, we had refugees from the war zone and Bosnia. Croatia is tiny and the war was contained to 1/3 of the country. Where the combat is you have nothing, 20 km away people still do normal things. Even in Ukraine things function "normally" outside the combat zone. In US it might be a different game. The country is enormous and it's not divided by ethnicities, the fight is about gaining power, not land. It will go more like a coup thing. Couple of weeks while things go crazy and waiting which way the army will turn. Than it will be over.
Obviously, american people either can take a lot of shit, or are just plane nazis. When Floyd got murdered at least people showed their rage on the streets.
First book, Hyperion was mind blowing. Second one, Fall of Hyperion was very good. So i picked up the third one, Endymion. It was a slog but not awful, i didn't hated it. Because of sunk cost fallacy i started the last one, The Fall of Endymion. It was pure shit, if i wasn't listening the audio book i would bever have finished it. It was a test of patience.
Yep. It's far from over for Putin. Got really lucky with Trump, and with slow and divided EU. Plus Gaza genocide to avert the attention. Still ain't over but i feel Ukraine is on the ropes. I hope they prove me wrong.
