📧 I decided to return to Telegram to get the news about the war in Ukraine. It’s fast. Simple. I subscribe to a few groups. We see things in there that are unavailable on other news feeds. I prefer Telegram to Twitter for that type of stuff. Some content is shocking, for sure. But it is. Call me a masochist. 😞
😡 Let’s face it. Vladimir Putin has no morale. He’s a criminal. His only goal in life is war. He doesn’t care about his people. He only cares about himself. He wants to make Russia “great again” but not for his people, for himself. After Ukraine, he will look around and select his next target. And invade. Eventually, he will make a mistake. Either he will pay for it, or we will all pay for it. Mark my words.
🗓️ The title may be a bit “clickbait-ish”, but it is what it is. Again, my creativity (writing, musing, photography) is taking me off the compulsive consumption of news about the war in Ukraine. In a way, my creativity is helping me survive and stay sane. How do you stay sane?
‼️ 🇷🇺 Current events around the world, triggered by the criminal invasion of Ukraine, are setting the stage for WWIII. I cannot see how this conflict can continue without forcing more countries to get militarily involved. It could be anything involving another country’s reaction to help before Putin thinks it is an act of war. This criminal is just patiently waiting for it.
The longer the war continues, the more apparent it is to me: we’re not ready to admit it yet, but we are clearly on the path to the next world war in Europe.

➡️ 🇷🇺 If people living in Russia don’t have access to objective news, only to state-controlled propaganda, then I would argue that Russians living abroad have a responsibility to tell the truth from the outside. They are being complicit in what is going on right now by not doing so. I would say to them: talk to your friends, family, or relatives inside Russia about what is happening. Tell the truth and ask them to regroup and organize demonstrations. NOW‼️
It’s now official. Apple will host another virtual event next week, on March 8th. It’s the first Apple event of 2022, but it’s far from being the first real event of 2022. Current events happening in Ukraine are troubling and make me pause on a lot of things. Apple-related stuff is one of these. I’m not in the mood for that. My thoughts and energy are diverted, seized. I don’t care if it’s a new iPhone SE, a beefed up Mac mini or whatever else. These look so irrelevant in this incredible and terrible era. Low interest indeed.
🇺🇦 Each morning, I open my laptop and visit some news websites to get the latest news from the war in Ukraine. I expect the worst all the time. It looks like, between some good news for the Ukrainians, the fundamentals are bleak. The aggressors, the Russians, are making progress toward their goal of crushing the country. While tainted by sadness and sorrow, my morning routine is nothing compared to the people’s routine in Ukraine: fear, sadness, abandonment, and distress. 😢📰
🇺🇦 By not telling his own Russian troops in Belarus what the training and military exercises were all about (invading Ukraine), you can see the real nature of Putin. We didn’t need this proof, but here you go.
🇺🇦 Compared to the aggressors, the invaders and the criminals (Russian leadership and Russian’s army), democracy is slow to react. We need discussions between partners and allies. We look for consensus, it takes time. Meanwhile, the enemy is progressing. The whole process makes us look weak and undetermined. ☮️
🇺🇦 As I keep watching the unbearable news from Europe, from Ukraine, something is becoming clearer by the day: NATO is failing its mission of defending Europe’s integrity. NATO must step up its response and fast. We are losing precious time. The longer we wait, the harder it will be to restore any form of democracy in Ukraine after Russian wins. It breaks my heart that we need to endure these historic and horrific moments. After two years of fighting against COVID-19, I find it hard to swallow. 💔
