Patriarch Kirill, head of the Russian Orthodox Church, has called for an all-Russian ban on “encouraging women to have abortions” in order to combat the demographic crisis

“As a member of the clergy, I testify that an abortion is a disaster and a tragedy for the woman and those close to her,” Kirill said in January, per the BBC.

Putin sees it as “an acute problem,” per the BBC. Kirill says anti-abortion policies are the solution.

It clears up a lot of confusion when you understand that the US empire is not a national government which happens to run nonstop military operations, it’s a nonstop military operation that happens to run a national government.

Russia is militarizing kids as young as 8. In Putin's equivalent of the Hitler Youth, some of the kids are using weapons that look like they are in better shape than the ones given to the poorly trained invaders occupying parts of Ukraine.

Some kids under 18 are already serving in various roles in Russia's armed forces. This is another indication of the massive losses suffered during Putin's "special operation" which was supposed to last three days. Child soldiers are needed by Putin to replace adults killed in combat.

Russia is also attempting to brainwash Ukrainian kids deported by the occupiers into being loyal to Russia. Wiping out Ukrainian identity is one of the forms of genocide as first identified by Raphael Lemkin during World War II and defined and codified into international law by the UN Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.

Not related to the military, but Putin in general has no qualms about using kids as pawns.

Vladimir Putin is an international criminal and countries which deal with him do so at their own risk.

And remember, these conscripts are overwhelmingly and disproportionately from ethnic minorities and religious regions of Russia. Ethnic minorities have been hugely over represented as cannon fodder by the Kremlin.

Putin could end the war today, by simply leaving Ukraine.

'You are the big problem of this region': Ukraine, China, US trade barbs, June 2, 2024

Defense leaders from around the world have been in Singapore this weekend for an international security conference. The Shangri-La Dialogue is Asia's foremost defense forum. This year's attendees included representatives from China, the United States, Australia, and Indonesia. The forum focused on security issues in the Asia-Pacific region, including tensions between China and Taiwan. There was also a suprise appearance from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. It is only the second time Zelenskyy has travelled to Asia since Russia launched its full-scale invasion. Zelenskyy accused China and Russia of trying to disrupt an upcoming peace summit on the war in Ukraine. He said Bejing was pressuring other nations not to attend. Zelenskyy said more than 100 countries and organisations had signed up to the peace summit taking place in Switzerland this month, and urged Asia-Pacific nations to join them. Deutsche Welle

What struck me about the discussion regarding the reestablishing Cold War polarization and spheres of influence is that it's just accepted that we are already in proxy wars, and the UN is unwilling to actively achieve resolution alongside a Security Council paralyzed by veto power.

Russia's ongoing invasion of Ukraine and Israel's egregiously disproportionate attacks on Gaza and Palestinians are reflected in the rising tensions of Russia funneling its political and economic resources outside the West, North Korea just stirring the pot as enabled by China and Russia, and China being its own universe of institutional and systematic subversion whether on Taiwan or territorial revisionism, nationalism, or its foreign policy that amounts to dogmatic gaslighting of other nations. The States and the West are certainly complicit in Israel's belligerence against Palestine, and our larger part in maintaining a status quo that is profitable and comfortable for ourselves.

This dialogue in Singapore is meant to be a forum to discuss defense in the Asia-Pacific region. As the commentators pointed out, there's quite a bit of history of skepticism towards the colonialism and interests of the major powers, especially in the current instances of conflict in Ukraine and Palestine pointing out a double standard of attention and support. If Russia and/or China indicate no intention to go to the Switzerland summit in good faith, it's a clear sign as any of their stance of continuing to let things burn.

In a parallel, Taiwan as a key part in the PRC's broader stance about national sovereignty and security in the Asia Pacific, is simply not able to participate or represent itself at all on its own terms or directly have normal diplomatic relationships with most countries which is a double standard in itself.
