Have a beer in black door pub for me (or red door)

yerayefalcon2mo

Probably an odd question, but what's with the news re. Russia potentially "invading" in early 2022?

iillexial2mo

Nobody knows, just wait

luisgc932mo

what news are these? any links? 🤔

neurodeep2mo

I hope they just flex in front of US

neurodeep2mo

Can't post links, but it's easy to Google

yerayefalcon1mo

I intend to spend some time in Ukraine from the 25th of December until the 2nd of January, but these news re. the "invasion" are quite upsetting... Would you still recommend going there, or... Not sure what the vibe over there is like at the moment, do people care about this?

andrebutturi1mo

I was also planning to go to Moscow around April next year but I believe it's better to put any plans regarding both countries on hold for now.

andrebutturi1mo

I have friends in Ukraine that are kind of jaded to news like that because they've been hearing the same for the past 7 years or so, but things seems a bit different now and no one knows for sure what will happen next.

roger1mo

We’re kind of at the whims of a single person’s mood for the next couple months.

moltar1mo

Russia isn't going to invade Ukraine. It's all just internal political bullshit.

moltar1mo

This is from the same realm as “US invading Canada” and “Texas separating from the US”.

moltar1mo

Countries don't invade for no reason. There has to be a clear net benefit. Like getting oil, or some other massive resource. If Russia invaded all it'll get is just a bunch of international hate and even more sanctions up the wazoo. And for what? Like what's so Amazing in Ukraine that Russia doesn't have?

moltar1mo

Even the transit pipeline, which was one of the Russian interests to remain in control of is now almost not needed. The new pipeline is about to start with a bunch more capacity and well maintained.

chrishjorth1mo

Potential reasons better access to warm water, avoiding Ukraine joining EU and/or NATO, distraction from internal issues/show of strength, historical “give me back what is mine”. It could be more of an intangible resource or become the playing field for another proxy war. That said I hope the cost of such a stunt makes it not worth it like you say.

andrebutturi1mo

😂

andrebutturi1mo

I actually completely disagree with you, but don't want to turn this channel into a place for political discussions as this is not the purpose of it

roger1mo

Unfortunately I can think of many examples of wars being started for no good reason that benefited nobody.

moltar1mo

Please PM your thoughts. I will not argue with you. But I'm interested in hearing another opinion.

vasily1mo

qtwxwwvh I prefer to side with your line of thinking, just to keep things on the positive side 🙂

andrebutturi1mo

Well I believe the situation is different in this case, because differently from the US x Canada example, Russia already invaded and annexed part of the Ukrainian territory in 2014. So I don’t believe it’s too hard to imagine another invasion and annexation of further territories over the next months/years.

lesly1mo

Thanks guys!

What's everyone doing for NYE?

lesly28d

Personally we are going to go to VDNG (). They have a big NY event in place with food, drinks and fireworks :).

lesly25d

Hey Julia, yes, been there and it was pretty cold at the time, hard to find plugs and the music was way to loud for a co-working space for me ><.

lesly25d

Look like people still prefer Slack 🙂

yerayefalcon23d

It was really awesome to be honest, much much better than expected 🙂

juliafurmanyuk15d

ah damn, yeah about the music I had similar experience but I went to the bartender and asked to turn it down and then it was ok. One more place I have in mind, haveyou been to Ziferblat? it’s more cosy

wooster13d

wondering if i should bail on ukraine for a little bit…

maks_rocks12d

You should, but only because it's pretty nasty in terms of the weather (except for Carpathians)

ignaciogomezdf11d

I'm planing to go to Ukraine next month… does anyone know if it's possible to get the third shot as a tourist there?

iillexial11d

I think yes en.moz.gov.ua/article/news/foreigners-and-stateless-persons-can-be-vaccinated-against-covid-19-in-ukraine

How is everyone in #ukraine doing? Life as normal?

moltar24h

The population is worried about the potential war with the Empire of Evil, while puppet masters are changing the set.

vasily14h

as a russian I detest these political games and can’t wait until the ukrainians and the russians can freely visit each other and collaborate in business and fun. it’s truly sad that the governments and media corporations are pitting brotherly people against each other.
