I think that's more about spousal benefits. Like people who were waiting for dragging their feet rushed now because of the war.

You heard about soldiers in the US getting married quick before heading to Iraq or Afghanistan I imagine this is not much different.

I got married and had a kid out of trauma. Workplace sexual harassment, retaliation, and abuse. It's not the same as a war-torn country, but the main reason I changed my mind on those things.

I was not in a war-torn country, but I was in a personal psychological warfare with only one target - me. They say it is as bad as being in a war. At least the books I have read on workplace abuse do. The PTSD is comparable as well.

Magic wand? Nope, you just stand against it. I can not order anyone to stand in the face of evil. I know what it takes. I'm still paying for it. But we, as a whole, have way more power than Putin or whoever stupid dictator. That is why it is OUR job to do it. Don't just celebrate someone else still standing, stand with them.

Lol! Russia is undoubtedly more corrupt than Ukraine, especially now since people have been weeded out from the start of the war.

Why is the US supporting Ukraine against aggression bad? Because Ukraine shouldn't exist? Ukrainians would vehemently disagree with you on that. Ukraine wants more aid, not less.
