I was thinking the same thing - the worse kind of soldier is a soldier that is signed up involuntarily because you're shooting yourself in the foot if that person isn't doing it for the right reasons, so it can become a double edged sword and could even lead to sabotage...very weird situation and I'm not really keen to see how it's going to pan out.
You guys please stay safe there.
There is not much we can do in terms of staying safe -but overall, no one seems to spend too much time worrying about it considering the proximity.
It boggles my mind how people have almost become conditioned to be lackadaisical about it, it's actually weird. I can remember mentioning two years ago that I could see war breaking out in the next few years and everyone thought I was a loon. Well, yet again it seems my intuition was correct.
I know that there's not much that you can do other than prepare - that's all that we can do really. At least we aren't part of the group that are in denial about it, it's going to be more difficult for them when they finally realise what's going on.
Look after yourself and your family Taraz, I know it's a tough situation all round and you're doing the best you can.
