Discussion:How come I never feel the war is so close to me,

except this Russia-Ukraine war?

Is it because the pandemic and inflation are ahead of the Russia-Ukcraine war?

Anybody can explain?

I'm guessing it's because Putin's war

threatens in a very real sense to expand into members of NATO, who will then be forced to invoke Article 5 of NATO's founding treaty for collective defense.  Biden has just declared that American commitment to Article 5 is "sacrosanct".  In other words, should any member of NATO be dragged into this war, the result will be a direct faceoff (rather than a proxy war) between Russia and America and 77 years of world peace will give way to WWIII.

A couple of jokes about gut feeling:

1.  I think it's wonderful that some people can get through life relying on nothing more than their gut feelings.  But it must be extra excruciating for them if they get shot in the stomach.

"Oh no! I've been shot! I had a feeling this would happen."

 

2.  How can women tell they’re pregnant?
It’s a gut feeling

You are not alone at this

 
 

But my gut feeling tells me we are still safe somehow

But my gut feeling is that America is not that dumb :))

I have similar feeling as you somehow, watch the video :

Like the narrator said: Hopefully it will help, but hope it will never be used.
