What can you do with nation that throws sparks with its eyes?

The current war between Edison and Tesla is children's play next to what is happening now between Ukraine and Russia

Electromagnetic interaction, one of the four fundamental interactions that underlie the universe's functioning, is entirely in the Ukrainians' service. We are drawn to each other by electric cooperation. Other people's lighted houses attract the eyes of our large, we and trembling eyes like in Japanese anime.

In short weeks, Ukrainian society has massively turned into electricians. We have thoroughly understood the functioning of power grids and types of generators. Also, we learned how to power routers from power banks and appropriate solder cables.

We collect electricity from power banks as if in our pockets and use it to power our smartphones and laptops like blood transfusions. We inject electric glucose into them. We keep our homes and businesses on artificial support systems for real genuine life.

"We collect electricity from power banks as if in our pockets and use it to power our smartphones and laptops like blood transfusions. We inject electric glucose into them"

We light up apartments with new year's garlands and trigger an unconditional reflex celebration feeling, which is very disconcertingly discordant with explosions on the street. We know for sure that these are not festive fireworks.

Ukrainians have re-invented and mastered electricity, a banal and incomprehensible force that flowed through wires, sometimes sparkled and generally interested very few people. As if we are again at the beginning of the 19th century, mesmerized by the illuminated neighborhoods and amazed as if by magic tricks.

We want to repeat the Cold War, but what can we do with a nation that throws sparks with its eyes?

(“Sparks fall from the eyes” is a Ukrainian expression that means “anger” - ed.)

A country that looks like a calm, peaceful transformer but carries millions of kilowatts.

Stay out of it - it may kill (a Russian phrase usually written on signs warning about danger on high-voltage poles).
