Summary
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law banning adoption of Russian children by citizens of countries where gender transition is legal, targeting at least 15 nations.
Additional legislation prohibits promoting child-free lifestyles, with fines up to $50,000, framing such views as part of Western efforts to weaken Russia.
These measures align with Putin’s push for “traditional values” amid population decline, including past bans on LGBTQ+ information and gender-transition procedures.
Critics view these moves as part of a broader crackdown on liberal ideologies and dissent, intensified since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Strange, the overlap between the political obsessions of Russia, and those of Conservatives in the United States. It’s almost as if one controls the information consumed by the other…
Gotta keep enough meat for the grinder I guess? Can’t see any other rationale.
Need more soldiers right?!
The children they stole from Ukraine in one of their many war crimes?
What a pointlessly cruel thing to do to children.
Have to keep them home to repopulate the meat grinder.
It’s a non-issue being used to further sow division in neighbor countries. Don’t take the bait
No it’s a cover for the real agenda of banning anyone suggesting it’s okay for women to not be breeding stock for future cannon-fodder for Putin to use for his absurd imperial obsessions
Additional legislation prohibits promoting child-free lifestyles, with fines up to $50,000, framing such views as part of Western efforts to weaken Russia.
The world doesn’t revolve around you little motherfucker
“Are the western efforts in the room with us right now?”
These measures align with Putin’s push for “traditional values” amid population decline
Hear me out Putin, but what if you didn’t toss everyone who can fog a mirror into your meat grinder of a war? No? Wait why do you want me to stand near the window?
It’s so they have more people to put into the meat grinder.
Ukraine isn’t the end game for Russia.
