@lina I envy Russia one thing in this, the multi-national mostly US-based big businesses left. They still plague the high street where I am, displacing my own country's food so it is very hard to find traditional English food when I go out in places. You know those corporations also rob income from this country too.

But yeah, if I stay off the news, social media and just avoid certain entertainment... then aside from seeing the Ukraine flags up in public and the rising costs, it isn't noticeable. I do not appreciate any of the geopolitics here.
