I get that, but constantly fantasizing about violent retribution and stewing in that toxicity isn't going to help you or anyone else. It's just toxic.

Then what CAN I do? -_-

About Putin? Not much beyond supporting the international movements against him and his regime. Evil men evade consequences for their crimes all the time and this one has more nukes than anyone, but that doesn't mean he's evading all of them. The best chance for him to face at least a little justice without ending the world is probably to pressure the Russian people into overthrowing him and ideally serving him up to international courts.

About Ukraine? All sorts of stuff. Donate your time, money, and other resources to helping them survive this onslaught. For something more direct, see if your area has any Ukrainian refugees you can volunteer and help out. If I had the space I'd personally be tempted to put up a refugee(s) in my place until they can get on their feet. Once I am in that position I may do the same for other people in need.

As the adage goes, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
