    I cant remember who said it, I cant even remember if it was a man or a woman.

    But a Russian official a year or two ago, when talking about the low pregnancy rate amongst russian women, who was advocating for something akin to a state run fertilization program. (Forced Pregnancy). said something akin to

    “these women spent their 20s dancing in discos, now they have an obligation to russia’s future”

    Oh yes, that TOTALLY doesn’t sound completely deranged and coming from a collapsing government. Of course, that sounds completely reasonable

  3. Maybe it would help if they didn’t maim or kill hundreds of thousands of their own young people for the sake a petty dictators imperialist ambitions.

  4. How many Russian parents lost their kids and now need to live and deal with a child-free lifestyle?

    The Russian leaderships shit on their own people 24/7. It’s honestly not even surprising at this point. Do Russians even know they being fucked?

    Russian politicians just need to point at a rainbow to distract the population from realizing their son is now 6 feet in the ground. More Russian kids to live and repeat.

  5. It’s going to take Russia 18-24 years to replace over 600.000 men who were killed and maimed back into the work force, thanks to their special military operation. Russia will be stagnant for the next two decades.

  6. It’s happening in the US next if the GOP takes hold, folks. Vance is already setting the stage with his rhetoric.

  7. ” Russia is a country that has never advanced, yet never declined, and never changes.”
    Pyotr Chaadayev

  8. They should just allow mass immigration from China, India or where ever. Problem solved.

    Service Guarantees Citizenship.

  9. They really are on the verge of a full population collapse.

    They chased out half their fathering-aged males with the draft and the rest are being sent to the meat grinder in Ukraine.

    Even if we do nothing, Russia is doomed to implode on itself.

  10. The blatant corruption makes me think Russia isn’t considering anything, but rather an “elected” elite few are considering the next steps of propaganda

  11. Associating having children with Putinism and making it sound like not having a child is a protest against the state seems like a really stupid thing to do, especially since it’s young women having (and not having) children and not devout pro-Putin babushkas.

    But then these are the same numbskulls who are killing off their young men for some old guy’s ego.

  12. Russia is sounding so good right now – no globalist influence, traditional values, family focused lifestyle, no GMO fast food, sims games banned, fightning nazism, a strong army, no lgbt agenda, no trans people eating children alive in toilets! I think I’m gonna move there! I hear they even give passports for free nowadays! I’m gonna move to Russia just in time for Putin to sign into law the “Government issued breeding waifus” act! It’s gonna be great, I’m going to have a nice tradwife and OH SHIT I’VE BEEN CONSCRIPTED.

    /s obviously…

  13. “Hey! If you don’t have any kids we’ll lock you up in a place you definitely can’t have kids!”

  14. Who would even want to make babies if living in a war zone. Especially if the glorious leader is constantly threatening everyone with nuclear war.

    The world has moved forward, along with the governments of developed nations. Russia has not moved forward. They govern just like they did as the Soviet Union. It is shocking for us to see when we don’t think about it like that.

    Common sense, and this will be mandated throughout the world soon to prevent collapse of civilization.

    I don’t get how Putin’s allies in the Russian Orthodox Church will fare under this.

    Surely recruiting new priests – who are expected to be celibate – will be illegal under such a law?

    Seems like, if they really have a population problem, a much simpler solution would be to stop sending all their young fertile men and women off to be butchered in the Ukraine meat grinder they created.
