RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

It feel like a bad unreal dream. I am honestly concerned and scared.

From a solely pessimistic point of view, you're right to be scared. This is a war between two nuclear powers and it can get real ugly in the worst case scenario.

But as long as it's kept a strategic war focused on border bickerings and damaging each other's economic ability, civilians should be safe in the most part.

I'd recommend channeling the fear into activism towards peace. If you are willing and able, get together with others and pressure your government with large protests against the war. If not, then stay safe.
