1462 days of war
It feels very strange to realize that 4 years have already passed since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Today is the 1462nd day, and I still remember the events of February 2022 more clearly and vividly than I remember last month. Everything felt so unreal and sooo wrong; now the war has become such an everyday reality that life without constant air raid sirens, without the constant inner anxiety for myself and my loved ones, feels foreign and impossibly distant.
Back in 2022, I couldn’t believe any of this would last more than a few weeks; now I can’t believe it will ever end. My life goes on, I find joy in each day, I find inspiration for creativity… but not a single day passes without the awareness that there is a war in my country.

Only 4 years? Please, don't use the word "only" in this context. Even 15 minutes spent in the hallway because a drone is flying near your house and you have to get as far away from the windows as possible feels unbearably long.
I wrote about the full-scale invasion; it happened on February 24, 2022 (exactly 4 years ago). The war has been going on since 2014, when Russia invaded Crimea and eastern Ukraine. So yeah, you're right - the war has been going on for longer than four years; but after the 2014 invasion and before the second invasion in 2022 (the second invasion covered more territory and directions), the war was in a more passive phase. It was more localized, concentrated in eastern Ukraine. This is wrong, but many of us turned a blind eye to it because it didn't affect us directly. Now it does; since 2022, it has affected every family in Ukraine in one way or another.

Forgive me, I didn't mean to sound so callous. I spent two years in Iraq. So I get it. It's been almost 20 years since I was there though. So time has robbed my memories of the more raw feelings with it. I do recall the uglier moments. So while I didn't have the same threats. I did have my share of "Oh fuck" moments.
I say "only" on I could have sworn it was longer. As your confirmation of it. With Crimea.
Curious how Putin still has people to toss into the grinder on account of Ukrainian fighters proving to have more grit, and growl than his entire military. I'd have figured his numbers would have dwindled off by now. I recall this being an issue the FIRST time pedo palpatine was in office and he had the fecking audacity to claim he'd stop the war.
It raged mid way through his first term. All the way through Biden's (Who also tried) So I was thinking it had been at least six years minimum.
When it first started, I was contacted by a former commanding officer who was joining a group of veterans who deployed over there. I wasn't able to join. To many physical issues now. I was hoping with more U.S. backing and unofficial U.S. military assisting this would have been ended. Only to find out Pedo-Palpatine was assisting the reds. And was called out for it (Nothing legally happened. He made it his life's work to know who's ass to kiss and which ones likes tongue)
I don't have the means of support, I'd like to send. I know tactics. I know tricks but, I'm unsure how my knowledge would help. As that's all I can offer.
Again, I apologize if it sounded callous. It wasn't meant to be

Thank you for your message and for taking the time to explain everything in such detail. And I’m sorry if I responded harshly - the word “only” struck a nerve... But now I fully understand the context in which you meant it, so your first message no longer feels the way it did at first glance.
I sincerely hope that time carries away even more of the terrible memories from Iraq - or at least that they don’t visit you too often.
Thank you for your support. I truly appreciate and respect your willingness to help. It means a lot to realize that people whom this war does not directly affect still care. Moral support matters just as much right now. Especially now, with what pedo-palpatine is doing (I still don’t know whether to laugh or cry at how accurate that nickname is!). No matter how resilient our army is, willpower alone does not win wars - this is not an anime. We depend on weapons supplies, and I am grateful to the U.S. for all the help provided. But lately it’s honestly horrifying to watch what this self-proclaimed tsar (king) is doing - from his absurd posts on X-Twitter to condemning us for a drone strike on the port of Novorossiysk. Seriously? It’s madness, and against the backdrop of constant war it feels even more suffocating.
Once again, I’m sorry if I sounded rude. I understand what you meant, and I’m not holding anything against you.
