[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Your sister has had years to leave. It’s her choice to stay in that country. Let her be.[/quote]
She has a family there. [/quote]

why do people lack so much compassion? [b]Nobody could have predicted Putin would make such an insane decision to invade Ukraine [/b]and completely decimate his country's economy in the process. Nobody in the Western world (which includes Russia IMO) has experience in uprooting their lives and fleeing their homes, and so nobody expects or prepares to have to do that.

OP's sister has her entire life in Moscow. Her daughter's school, her work and her husband's work, neighbors, family, and a house they probably already invested a lot in financially and emotionally. It's not so easy for someone to just give up everything they know and everything they worked for. Especially for a future that is as uncertain outside Russia as it is becoming inside Russia. These are extremely big and painful decisions for families to make, and it doesn't help when some rude jerk on an Internet forum decides to pretend this is a video game instead of real life.[/quote]

Are you kidding?  Everyone has known that he would do this.  Everyone.[/quote]
