Reply To: Russian Tensions
I should never attempt subtle ironic humour, my remark was in response to ALB’s question what will Ukraine’s government response be.
However, this article on Russia’s demographics is interesting and impact on the existing and worrisome trend of male mortality rates.

“…Today, with Russian President Vladimir Putin’s war on Ukraine failing dismally, the women of Russia are turning their backs on him and are calling for their male family members to be returned home from the front lines…While many supported Putin’s initial moves, today they realize they are losing their sons and brothers for no reason other than to fulfill Putin’s maniacal desire to conquer Ukraine. Putin and his henchmen will attempt to assuage the women – while working to silence them as soon as possible. Putin needs their men to fight his ego war – even if it means he must destroy Russia’s entire male population once and for all.”
