I nearly teared up reading the news this morning. Stay safe.

I hope that somehow they are someday able to grab their sovereignty into their own hands, and out of the hands of people who only see them as resources for their own gain.
Stay calm people and don't make any rush decisions.
The time's been worse. We'll make it.
I asked and nobody was rude against her because of her nationality here ( she's a nurse), so that's good news.
She did mention propaganda in Russia is in full force.

Edit:
Just checked your profile and see you live next to where I officially work.
Stay safe in there, and the site is of course available in Norwegian too for anyone who prefers that: https://www.sikkerhverdag.no
You might see me se me support Ukraine or be angry about Russia, but rest assured that I have nothing against Russians as a people, only the ones who tries to invade Ukraine etc.
I'm living in the shadow of Russia too and I've just filled my spare water tanks with clean water and I'll fill my car and get some extra fuel for my cooking stove later today.
I've already been training for a few months now, but I'm still hoping for a good miracle to avoid a full European war.
For the rest of HN, don't forget the thing most preppers seems to ignore: as far as possible, be friendly towards everyone. If others want you to survive that should help a lot.
Have a nice day everyone.
Edit: when/if this ends maybe we can meet at the server again and play CS:GO or something :-)
Edit 2: if anyone wonders, the official rule for prepping here in Norway includes stocking up with 9L of clean water for each person in the household, keeping some food that has long shelf life, radio, lights, batteries, some way to heat food and rooms even if the electricity disappears and to cooperate with neighbors if you cannot fix everything yourself (e.g. not all houses here have alternative heating sources except electricity).
