AIBU? Russia threaten UK

Am I being overdramatic about the new breaking news I’ve just seen about Russia threatening UK after use of drones. I’m super scared and have anxiety, can someone somewhat reassure me? Has these headlines happened before??

Well perhaps if we stopped arming the world we wouldn't be a target.

There is endless posturing and fighting talk that amounts to nothing. Honestly, if you find it stressful stay away from the news. Life is for living, not worrying about the political machinations of world leaders when you can do nothing about any of it. Your mental health will do so much better from just not reading it. I don't think we were built to be able to process everything horrible going on everywhere so stick to local goings on. If things reach a point where you need to know more then someone will tell you.

It’s all talk, but what can you do about it? 99% of the world jabe no control over it, try to distract yourself. It will be ok
