Stalin was concerned with the costs and political troubles of caring for the disabled, so he got rid of them. Putin is just speeding up the process and attempting to conceal it.

Let’s urge terrorists the world over to kill themselves, as sacrifices for the good of their world and their god. Same with democrats, who should sacrifice themselves in order to help stop climate change.

In their next lives, they can find out if their sacrifices worked.

“Give up your future and security for the defense of the Ukraine! Don’t fret when you get the bill! You did your part for national security!”
Fools...
Human life comes down to a cost analysis in liberalism.

Ukrainian army has a channel on Telegram. You can see them dropping bombs on the Russian soldiers hiding in trenches from drones. They blur nothing out.
