@Knowledge Hoarder Now thats a valid point, but i don't think that Putin will stop until he can put somone on Volodymyr Zelenskyy's place. After that there will be potential inner wars in Ukraine to try to break out from the oppression, however its hard to break out from oppression if most people will already be dead due to the resistance they are forced into right now. Right now these civilians have no choice but to fight back Russia. Maybe you are right and Putin will stop if he has much more losses, but what i think is that this way, just more people will die and Putin will take over anyway. If he can't take over, my concern is that he will be pushed even more to start WW3 , cause if he can't take over Ukraine, from his pov he did this all for nothing and lost a lot of power over it (military,economy,politcal). What does a Russian man in power do if he has nothing else to lose? Thats my concern right now. Its a hard balancing between not forcing Putin too much into to a corner, and at the same time show him that what he is doing right now is not good and have a lot of consequences.

@Blackhawk Not let Russia take the entire planet, but from Ukraine's point of view can you list all the benefits fighting Russia back right now? Becuase as far as i can see, Putin won't take down his weapons and by the time passing will only get more mad and insane and won't ever stop his indavding. So in my opinion from Ukraine's pov its an unwinnable war right now, and the more defensiveness will kill more people only. So I will ask you again what is the benefit for Ukraine to fight an unwinnable war against Russia? Btw no one will let Russia take the entire planet, especially he can't take NATO countries, because he don't want a nuclear war. But if we pressure him too much and if the Ukraine war get longer and longer, Putin will be more and more pressured to the everything he can to take Ukraine without thinking less and less about civilian safety.

@Willie Most people don't give a shit about anything, the reason why i bothered to post this here, is because i believe most people on this forum are more conscious than an average person, but not necessarily knowing a lot about this problem, how serious it is. I think that if more people start to be more conscious about an issue the better. Of course me posting here won't solve anything overall, but i wanted to get the information flowing, and also this post is concentrating on water, but of course it is not just about water, its about something deeper, its about how much we appretiate what we have and what we use. What would be your solution to this problem? Do you think there is a solution where we don't need to wait around in our chairs until some country is even in a bigger trouble than it is now? Or we are damned until more catastrophes happen. Also ,do you think, that we shouldn't even bother educating each other about these kinds of problems ,or do you think that it can hold some value? Because most of us know about these kind of problems, but not necessarily in depth.

@Willie Sure, but it wasn't only aimed at Leo or at only who lives in Las Vegas. Because it is a global issue, its good to have certain kind of information out there. Being more mindful about global issues is a net benefit for everyone.

@Scholar Thanks, i will watch it in a minute. Its not easy to makes sense of this situation. I don't know if you have ever heard about this source:https://www.improvethenews.org. This site trying to show you the facts about a particular topic, and also the different kind of narratives. I don't know how reliable it is, but i stumpled upon it a few days ago, and it seems really good to me. It can save some time to use it, and you can mindfully search articles about certain kind of news.

@Scholar I agree with you on that there is a lot of Russian misinformation, and of course a lot of intentional misleading about the current events. However, in my opinion, this war could have been prevented, if the Nato would have made an agreement about the following: If Russia wants to invade Ukraine ,Ukraine will be automatically added to the Nato, but if Russia doesn't invade, then Ukraine will never be added to the Nato . This might be really harsh on Ukraine, but if our goal is to prevent a war, then we should do everything we have, to prevent it. Also when we know that we are dealing with a person ,who we know is likely to do insane things, then we should play the geopolitical games according to that. But of course, every country has its own incentives, and im not naive about that, and i won't expect any country or anyone to sacrifice a lot just for the global greater good, but i think a little bit more effort could have been added to try to solve this problem. Also what I don't really understand is that, why almost every country giving weapons for Ukraine, because in my opinion its paradoxically has negative effects on Ukraine, because the war will be longer and longer, more civil people will die. In my opinion Putin is in a position now, where he won't give this war up even if he lose a lot more money and prestige and geopolitical relationships, he sort of burned his bridges with almost everyone, and now he has almost nothing more to lose, so he won't stop invading Ukraine. I think Ukraine should have gave up and let the Russians in, of course its easy to say because im not Ukranian, but if the goal is to prevent the most amount of deaths then that would have been a solution for that. I don't see a scenario where Putin will just randomly give up his invading, from his point of view he just lose more things if he stops. So the question is what's the best questions to ask if you are the leader of Ukraine, what's more important, and what will you sacrifice for those goals.
