Another round of missile sirens. I'm so fucking exhausted and it's only week 1 of this stupid war. Can they just get our jingoist element and we call it even and quit already?

How many times did I have to run for shelter in the past 620 days? 200? I don't even care anymore. Fuck my genocidal government and fuck Iran's government too for targeting city centres. Fuck you all. to the governments of the world I stick my middle finger

I'm so sorry. We all suffer because of the egos and ambitions of morally bankrupt authoritarians.

in the case of Israel it's even sadder because Netanyahu, although pushing for autocracy, is not an autocrat yet. And the people suffering are also guilty. They have been buying the bullshit about Iran going to nuke us continuously for 30 years and that includes the vast majority of the majority which opposes Netanyahu, of which many blame him for not ending the 'war' on Hamas due to him wanting to get out of his trial intact. Imagine being so gullible as to think that and still support this stupid and dangerous war, while also having supported the breakup of Obama's deal with Iran from 2014. All of this could have easily been avoided. Fuck everyone around me, too.

Ukrainians are living in this mode at least for three years, believe, that the sirens are not a main problem. The real problem arises when you may have to become a soldier later, possibly against your will.

Believe me, I'm no stranger to that. I was conscripted for a combat unit for 3 years without pay (basically a slave) and then for a comulative 2 years more during the following 17 years...Many a times I considered defiance and prison time but always chickend out at the last minute.

The hardest thing for me now is that I have a kid. Before that I only had personal anxiety and now I'm anxious about my only chil

I don't know how to comment on this hell. You probably can't relocate with your child, as the war usually means closed or dangerous borders. Just keep your gadgets clean; that's the only reminder I have at this point.

Thank you. Indeed the airports are closed for outbound travellers and there' only a weekly ferry to Cyprus which already closed tickets registration. You can buy your way out of this by paying a lot of money to someone with a yacht, but even if I did, I don't have any spare money to afford living in another country at the moment. plus, I need to take care of my parents, and I need income from unemployment grant. The war ended my job because it was not essential, obliterated my personal business and my hopes to find a job soon.

I guess it's all doable if you just want to survive at the moment, but I am not ready to become a homless, jobless refugee just yet. we'll see.
