War, poverty, inflation, lack of freedom, plus a few new ones! What a deal. At least the old Commies gave women a shot.

bemoaning the fact that Russia's birthrate is dropping like a rock and has been ever since Putin got in and started to turn the Russian people back into government serfs. And of course, these stupid shits can't connect the dots between a hopeless existence and a reluctance to bring children into it.

One thing Putin did a few years ago was overturn their laws against domestic violence.

Oh, and Russia has the highest divorce rate in the world. I suppose that right will go next.

So they'll have a population of enslaved men and women who are forced to be subservient even to them, with no rights at all of their own. Family values, yeah baby!

(didn't watch the video)

Putin has a huge bulge of old folks who aren't being killed in his evil war. Young men are dying there in large enough numbers to worsen the problem and others have escaped the country, sensibly. Russian demographics are top-heavy in old women, who will need care and infrastructure without being able to pay for it or earn it on a going-forward basis.

magats are feverishly fretting about The Other coming across the border in numbers that their CONtrollers exaggerate. It is the hidden agenda behind their abortion piety.

A new Russian front may be within the country as well as in Ukraine.

mostly Putin leading right wing extremists around the world. I wonder if Putin is encouraging such policy in places in Africa or Asia?
