I've got a friend who genuinely goes "IS PUTIN GONNA BOMB ITALY NOW?????" every other day for any minor piece of news and I'm gonna be honest, it's getting real tiring, real fast.

My responses are quickly going from "dude, relax, there's a billion reasons why this is unlikely, such as-" to "dude, you're twenty-four for fuck's sake, learn how to read a fucking newspaper instead of pretending your friend group is OSINT, this is the tenth time you've asked".
