- I have a feeling that they are planning to use the survivng ukranian women and children for something.

Putin enacting a law that wont affect him in his life time…
- That is not the problem. Politicians should often be forward-thinking. In the US, failure to plan more than 2 years ahead is a huge detriment to infrastructure funding. Of course, central long-term planning à la USSR that does not consider market developments is an example of how wrong the opposite extreme can go.

Oh thank Moses I was wondering when all the flood of people telling me to not have kids was gonna stop! /s

CAN something like this really works? Because its not like he did anything at all to make life for familys easier.
