Be honest. Compared to the first few days, are you paying as much attention now?

It has been 0 days since something interesting happened.

I've been checking the BBC live feed at least twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening, since the invasion first happened.

It's tougher to find news anymore, especially on TV - they're all back to partisan whining, "outraged local mother", and celebrity bullshit.

Obviously the moment it peaks interest is when it starts or something big happens.
Nothing big has happened yet.

If China joins in people will start paying attention more.

Yes.

I find it fascinating and terrifying at once that so many people around me believe every fucking thing they hear no matter how outlandish or stupid.

"Putin is saving Ukraine from pedo Nazis trying to make more poison vaccines!"

I'd say ~40% of my co-workers believe this and 70% at the minimum support Russia.

They are Trump supporters as well?

No, during the first few days I had a reddit live thread up and pretty much consumed every bit of news possible about it.

Probably about the same. I wasn't exactly tracking every twitter feed when it started tbh

National nightly news shows are still covering it pretty heavily.

Basically they had been indoctrianted into tabloid news. They won't trust actual reputable news making them super easy to fool and buy into Putin lies.
In addition, they have a bias for Putin because they see him as a whitening force.
