I can't imagine the courage it would take to protest right now, knowing they'll be thrown in jail, and if they ever get out, will be denied jobs over it.

We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
The press are the press. They have been in warzones going back 100+ years. They are basically ignored by all sides unless someone is doing some really heinous stuff that they don't want to be seen.
It is weird though. Seeing a reporter just casually talking about he just talked to soldiers that likely just injured or killed another person is just bizarre.
1. Build a way to disconnect/sanction invaders economy, making the sanction-cost of invasion far too great.
2. Keep arming the defending nation with advanced weaponry and missiles, posing huge casulties for invading forces.
3. Do not do what Germany/Western Europe did - deny lethal air prior or sanction only post-action.
Leaders of EU, Germany and France allowed invasion dancing to the Putin's tune. EU with the lame pacifist leadership despite repeated Putin aggression, Macron with his naive ideas about brokering peace, and Germany with its energy dependance + strict no-aid policy. And even now, EU is still looking at financial/energy interest above peace, which boggles my mind.
Couldn't be more disappointed in EU (specifically Western) on how they handled Ukraine encirclement/invasion. Only notable European nations are freaking UK and Poland, delivering any meaningful amount of lethal aid. (Baltics too, but they simply don't have enough launchers/ammo to make a difference).
Absolutely pathetic, after dividing two trillions for covid economies WITH RECORD PROFITS FOR COPRORATIONS, we are still selling Ukraine lives for Russian gas and the oppotunity to sell luxuries to their thieves.
If they were actually going to do it, it seems stupid to have announced it publicly first
Yes, that is a possibility. I was speaking more to an official cyber attack, that is not going to happen.
No!! No!!! No!! No!!! And we'll invade China with the help of JSDF and Japanese Navy.
I don't think most people want further escalations.
Even if they don't take credit for it, it still would be a dumb move when there are active global fear of the conflict getting bigger.
The answer to cyberwar is cyberwar. Russia won't declare war to US over that.

China may be resting her forces to invade Taiwan. Knowing damn well they'll get destroyed by America,India and Japanese forces .
Wouldn't harsh sanctions be an escalation too? Ukraine is actively at war. The escalation has already happened with bullets and bombs. If harsh sanctions are on the table that would be designed to cripple the Russian economy along with key people, why would cyber attacks suddenly be over the line?
Correct. Saying otherwise is just fear mongering. Russia has also performed numerous large scale cyber attacks and nobody is at war over it
You'd need to define what you mean by "cyberwar" here. Because for the Russians, it's another tool used in conventional warfare, usually to prep the battlefield prior to invasion. See: Georgia, for example.
Some of the options presented in that piece, like taking down the Russian power grid, would provoke escalation and possibly a conventional response. It depends on the target, the effect, and whether attribution can be established.
Agreed, to a point. This is why it's important to distinguish between cyber attacks, cyber intrusions, cyber espionage, and cyber warfare.
I understand that, but my country before even getting into the EU destroyed any possibility of having nuclear energy just to give more money to Russia. It's a combination of so many things and I'm getting really depressed :(.
Germany should have never shut down their nuclear energy program, and should have encourage it for the entire continent.
What conventional attack can Russia mount against US for taking out the grid? Think well about the answer.
My respect for the people putting their live on the line for protesting
But would they be able to do that in time to make a difference?
Meanwhile NATO countries have the capability now in the moment.
They're not the same. One, is that the escalation is between Ukraine and Russia, not between the US and Russia, so that is quite different. The other reason is that when you economically sanction you are doing actions inside your own, and your allies, sovereignty. Cyberattacks are different because they directly target points in a different nation
These people are so brave ! Nothing but respect for the protestors !
Strength in numbers. They can't arrest them all.
I have to imagine this is going to get even stronger as fighting intensifies.
Unfortunately, they can, or they can do worse. Very brave of them.
Fuck yes. Please don't let up, you brave, brave people. Also, fuck the cops.
Stuff like this has been the thing I've been most curious about.
There's only so much other countries can do in a situation like this concerning a nuclear power. But if the people of Russia itself start actively opposing this, that's something else.

It's fucked. Anyone pitching combat should be put in a room to duke it out with someone on their own instead of bringing countries of soldiers with them.
Honestly amazing. Too many people get fucked over by war, and it's great when people want to fight for peace even from their own nation.
Nuclear Energy has nothing to do with the heating system / gas that we import from Russia.
The main culprit is the lack of modernizations / millions of old buildings with old heating systems.
Nuclear or not wouldn't have changed anything about this.
Shit like this is a good reminder why not to say Fuck Russia and lump all of it's people together. This is Putin's war.
TRUE!!!!!
In addition , banned Hassan Piker from twitch and promote the true King of the left ,Vaush.
