If you don't insulate yourself from world news, it will drive you crazy. Most of it is not actionable anyway. Then again, people have made the mistake of believing "nothing has happened so far, so nothing will happen" time and time again.
As Sebastian Haffner describes the outbreak of World War I in his book "Defying Hitler":
"The last world war, with which my conscious life begins as if with a bang, hit me as it hit most Europeans: During the summer vacations."
I totally agree with you. The current overflow of disinformation context doesn't help a bit but there must be a middle ground. I personally I'm slowly going crazy. I'm probably consuming more information related to this war than I need or should. I have some ideas on how to use software to balance things but haven't put the effort. News Minimalist is helpful but not enough.
