I think that even if we are not directly affected by a war, we still should remain alert and aware.

Anything can happen and everything can escalate really fast. Your country might get involved at some point so you need to know if there are any possibilities of that happening in the future. Many products from the country at war will most likely stop so check whether your country benefits from them or not? Because it would most likely affect the prices of goods in your country if you get products from them.

These are just a few reasons why you should still be aware of news whether you’re in the country or not directly involved in a war. Not to even mention just having basic empathy to people suffering.
