It is surreal. I just saw new about Russia sending its largest drone attack since the invasion. The article said 74 out of 75 drones were intercepted, which is great. However, I was on a Teams call with my friend/student in Kyiv and he said he spent the night from 2:00 am to 7:00 am hiding out in the corridor of his apartment, listening to the air raid siren and Iranian drones fly overhead.
Right before this, we were talking about a used MacBook Pro he just purchased. His wife is a hair stylist and wanted to shoot instructional videos and put them on YouTube. Then we talked about his work and plans for Christmas. All normal stuff. What is not said is that one cheap Iranian drone launched by Putin and end all that if the drone gets through air defenses and hits hit apartment.
Fuck Putin.
