The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Putin wants babies!

* Russian President Vladimir Putin is urging Russians to have more children.

* "Large families must become the norm," Putin said in a speech Tuesday.

* Russian birth rates are falling amid war in Ukraine and a deepening economic crisis.

Russian President Vladimir Putin is urging women to have as many as eight children as the number of dead Russian soldiers continues to rise in his war with Ukraine, worsening the country's population crisis...

..."Let us preserve and revive these excellent traditions. Large families must become the norm, a way of life for all of Russia's people. The family is not just the foundation of the state and society; it is a spiritual phenomenon, a source of morality."

The war in Ukraine has caused an estimated 900,000 people to flee the country. A further 300,000 people have been enlisted to fight in Ukraine, deepening Russia's workforce crisis. A statistical analysis conducted by the Russian media outlets Mediazona and Meduza in July said about 50,000 Russian men were believed to have died in the war in Ukraine.

In October, the UK's Ministry of Defence reported that Russia has probably amassed up to 290,000 killed or wounded soldiers in the war against Ukraine.

S0 - fly to mother Russia and open your womb. Putin needs wombs and babies to restore mother Russia to Empire!
