shame to admit, I wasn't able to predict the start of the war even though I was in Russia at that time. It's was always some news on the periphery of my brain. At somepoint there were news about the russian army "stopping their maneuvering" and I thought "ah, this was a scare tactic after all, no one is insane to start a war"
- tim333 7mo agoI guess in Russia they control the news. In the UK there was quite a lot of Russia about to invade stuff in the news. They even had the date down pretty much as it was assumed Putin was waiting for the end of the winter olympics so as to not annoy the Chinese.
- tryauuum 7mo agothe news were there. I read about the russian army near the border. Russian media posted the quotes by european leaders. Still I kind of ignored it. Interestingly, people on twitter learned that it happened first, because google maps near border cities suddenly started to display traffic jams early in the morning.
