RE: How Does Steemcurator01 Support Affect Authors' Behavior?
The media here is very clear who to trust. They have predicted every move that Putin has made so far...
The "war drills" (or whatever he called them) in Belarus and the troops inevitably staying there once they had completed. Belarus being an ally has no choice, unless they wish to be next on Putin's hit list.
The decision to recognise Donetsk and Luhansk as their own entity, giving him (in his opinion) the "right" to send in troops in order to "keep peace". For Putin to talk of peace with 150,000 or more soldiers sat on their borders is laughable.
The inevitable powerlessness that Ukraine has in this, unable to regain their own territory as it would be considered an "invasion of Russia".
It's a sad state of affairs. And one with the West certainly should be sending our armed forces in to protect the sovereignty of Ukraine. Nearly 100 years ago, the West watched as another army slowly consumed huge parts of Europe. It was a distant war, that slowly came closer and closer to home. The similarity is frightening.
The UK is talking about imminent sanctions against Russia. We've already passed laws to prevent investment in companies based in Donetsk and Luhansk - for these laws to be passed less than 24 hours after the invasion shows that it's going to be tit-for-tat. Putin's moves are already well known, we just don't know when.
It's sad. Tragic. And when it's all over, whenever that may be, everybody will lose. Including those choosing to turn a blind eye.
Honestly, I'm shocked by your comment. I expected much less understanding of the problem. I agree with everything you wrote.
Yesterday's and today's events show that it is worth preparing for the worst. The Minister of Defense addressed us in the army with such a speech that it seems that war is inevitable. It still doesn't occur to me.
Today I was picking up a child from school, and they were training to evacuate to a shelter at that time. Crazy times!
By the way, thank you for your support!
I fear that this is true.
You're welcome. I'm going to take a break from Steemit for a little while, I hope everything works our ok 👍🏼
Good rest to you!
I was saddened to see the news that I woke up to this morning. My thoughts are with you, your family and your compatriots. Stay safe, stay strong.
Thank you my friend! Unfortunately, we have a great disaster. Everything is fine with me and my family so far. The nearest rocket exploded 20 km from me.
It's a relief to hear from you. My thoughts have been nowhere else all morning. As expected as this perhaps was, it's still hard to believe.
I live in Kalush, Western Ukraine. I hoped it would be far from the front, but today at 5 o'clock in the morning the neighboring city was shelled. In addition, our cities have sabotage groups that arrived here long before the war.
My chemical plant will probably be the next target, or the power plant next door.
Is that Lviv?
I really hope that you're able to stay safe and that your leader shows strength - along with all global leaders. Putin must be stopped, whatever the cost.
On a lighter note, now that I know you're ok, I've bought Canales back from you.
Rest complete 🤣
I wanted to support you with an idea. Although I'm sure you have enough ideas. Since you are now programming differently, you can potentially create different cool tools for Steemit. These can be a variety of tools, from automated fraud detection to a variety of statistics. You could make all of these tools available online, and to make them more fun to work with, make them available for a fee.
I would personally pay for it. I would be interested to have more tools for analyzing statistics. I don't know how to work with the API, all I have achieved is to install a mod on a Google table that is able to execute the json query.
I am sure that there are people in different communities who would be interested in using ready-made tools. Just don't think I'm insisting, I'm just throwing up an idea, and you'll think if you're interested.
