  • The news here is that Russia still has a functioning funeral industry. Russia has high inflation driven by wage growth as a result of high military pay/benefits, and industry needing to compete with that pay. Radio Free Europe is a Russophobia propaganda service, and any facts/testimonials presented can be made up.

    Ukrainian deaths are much higher, and Ukraine delayed accepting bodies, with speculation that 2000 bodies costs it $2B in benefits that it doesn’t have. Ukraine delays KIA designations because of budget issues.







  • At the same time, the hope is that Russian society would come out en masse against Russian President Putin and dispose of him from power.

    Theory that Russia will collapse relies on hoping that Russians don’t understand the existential threat of NATO expansion, and NATO hatred of them, AND all Russian power brokers will start believing NATO disinformation, AND risk of losing war will motivate Russians to surrender to Ukraine/NATO.

    Instead, any Russian regime change is likely to be caused by Putin weakness and failure to nuke German and UK US military bases. Or otherwise perception of insufficient aggression/speed of progress.












  • If the parents are being deported anyway, why don’t they let their children go with them?

    Key part missing from article is what happened to their parents. Presumably, if prosecution is honest, the kids were in fact not born here, and so are not citizens by birthright. Cruelty and unfairness as a point, does not make facts relevant. Were parents abducted without opportunity to take their children? If no due process, or even DOJ intervention in cases, then its not the jack booted thug ordered to send a parent to a death camp, that will pause the order to go pick up the kids from school, not that the parents would want kids in the death camp.

    Story is horrible. Maybe the answer to what happened to parents would make it seem less horrible on US fascism angle. Maybe the fascism is so intense that no one is told what happened to the parents.
