"All-knowing" Wikipedia says that this war has been going on for exactly 8 years and 6 days. It was a low intensity war for the most part, so no one gave a fuck. Now that it escalated, people started worrying about their own asses (except sucidal ones, I guess). In a few weeks or months, the news of yet-another-war will get old. Everyone in the West will realise that they are in no danger whatsoever, and things will return to normal. All the online activists will go back to more important stuff like face masks, Kardashians, and inappropriate things that someone tweeted a decade ago. There is nothing new under the sun.
