Thanks Jeff for putting this in. I'm currently living in Ukraine and reading this post makes me a little bit scared.
Lot is people here just simply don't believe that something bad can happen. But if there will a nuclear war, what territories do you think it will occupy?
I mean in case of emergency is there any chance that Ukraine will still remain?
I'm also a student right now so I cannot leave my country but in any case what do you suggest Ukrainians to do?
I'm asking this because I haven't analyzed all of the news and factors that perfectly fits together.
I will really appreciate if you take the time to respond to this comment.
I really have nobody else to ask for such help because they won't get it.
Your situation really sucks. Western countries are not really that interested in helping Ukraine – if they were, they would have already done something. My guess is that best solution is to send somehow a signal to Putin that invading Ukraine will be so expensive that he can't afford to do it.
I guess even if there was a way to send such a signal, he won't really care. I just hope this whole thing that is comming won't lead to major deaths because my intuition tells nothing good is going to happen.
I've been thinking about a strategy that might help against militant tyrants like Putin. If he attacks, just let the soldiers enter without resistance. When the army starts to control civilians, record everything possible (who is doing what) and share that on the internet. Let the army know that people are obeying them only because they threat with violence. If they don't threat, then nobody should obey them. When they do threat, record it and publish it.
When there is enough evidence of foreign army taking control, an anonymous online "defence force" should start to publish kill orders for high ranking intruders. Basically ordinary citizens could create a considerable threat of assasination against all new leaders.
