Questionable if the are fully aware what their role is. I’m sure they know their lot in life is to serve, but do they know they are suicide troops?

It is clear that putin wants to go out in a big bang. He does not care how that affects his fellow humans. He is a danger to everyone.
I’m all for rehabilitation of criminals. But they also somehow have to repay what they took. Somehow they have to give 150 years back.
If you loose an arm or a leg as a russian fighter, you are not gonna survive. Doubtful you will even be looked at twice. A wounded russian is a MIA russian. Russia is a cold place. Not just literally.
Why?
Difficult indeed. Maybe banning him from owning a computer or graphics card capable of running local models. Installing spyware on his devices. I’m sure he could get around it, undetected, for a while, if he was determined. But he would be gambling at getting caught.
To be honest I don’t really see the point. We are getting to a point where anyone can generate any image of anything at any time. Let him have his fun. We can’t sexual conversion therapy him and he isn’t hurting anyone. Ones and zeroes, bits and bytes.
For anyone who thinks conversion therapy works; imagine someone trying to convert you from your sexuality. Let’s say I tried to make you gay. Would that ever work for you?
I’m sure 90% of the actual value of that money won’t go to killing. It’s gonna be going to military contractor profits. So 10% is going to production and transport of the killing tools. The rest is shareholder pool parties and yachts. It’s still not healthcare. It’s still pretty bad. But hey, at least a small part of it will stop some people getting raped by Russian invaders.
As long as russia remains a dictatorship, they will continue. Enriching a handful at the expense of everyone else. The dictatorship is not going to govern itself responsibly. Only outside pressure helps them do that.
Putin is cleaning Russia of its undesirable population while stealing land from its neighbours. I suspect there are many moscovites that think this is a great thing.
Only recently did Sweden change rules that had every newborn be automatically registered with the Swedish church. The majority that are registered probably never practice, nor think about or visit a church, ever, in their lives, except maybe when they get married. If you exit the church, you loose the right to have your marriage and funeral in a church. Pretty sure the 37.9% is misleading in that regard.
Smoking does cost society money. Where medical care is subsidised by the public; we sure should prevent people from making money of selling self destructive stuff.

Are you agreeing or disagreeing?
Or the rest of the worlds politicians would size up, clench their cheeks and go “no-no-no-no”. And then do nothing, hoping it solves it self. Feels more in line with what we are seeing.
Yes, the influx of people fuels economies that run on the infinite growth model, which is most economies. However, if you double your population over night, you’re gonna have a bad time. Of course the infinite growth model is also inherently unsustainable and partly responsible for our current situation.
It’s gonna fuel the largest immigration wave ever. Which in turn will fuel right wing politics and destabilise democracies, which will make solutions even more elusive, and allow decision makers more procrastination.
Not even enough to go back to the future.
Does this German and his buddies have some economic interests in Russia?
Greta’s function is to draw attention to the issues. That is fine. What these 2000 women are doing is neat too.
Maybe they went and died. Otherwise one would have recovered it, right?
