It a bit ludicrous that we get to watch on our phone their demise in a carefully curated clips set to some benign suspenseful stock audio.

I find the whole online aspect of this war really tough to process. You see maps of daily Russian troop movements, retired/current military offering paragraph upon paragraph of strategy notes and thoughts, live videos of carnage. It's really quite alarming at times and, frankly, desensitizing to the absolute madness and devastation of war. I've stopped watching any videos and mostly read this thread to make sure I'm aware of what's happening and reading the personal accounts of people like HW, etc.
I struggle with wanting to keep myself informed and wanting to almost keep it at arm's length, so to speak, as I feel like consuming all this media/talking heads/imagery on it is somehow disrespectful to those living it. I don't know, probably just blabbering on here.
