Lots of social and historical reasons for this that set the country apart from the phenomenon here in the states. But one can only wonder the impact of this latest war will have...

When all those children grow up, Russia is sure to turn communist again. It happened here...

One third of children in America live in a fatherless home. That's about the same as Russia.

WWI, Russian Revolution, Collapse of the Soviet Union. Lots of generational trauma there. Imagine a Russian family going back all the way to 1914. Now their sons are being sent to the meat grinder in Ukraine.

OH NO!!!

If we send LOTS OF MONEY AND WEAPONS AND MEN THERE...then those fighting for Russia will get home faster and save the day!!

You’re a genius!!

zeepers are the best! They keep me in stiches :)

Putin’s bad news but he’s pragmatic...at least a lot more than W europe is these days with muslims overrunning it and ordinary folks getting arrested for talking correctly about insane stuff like “transgenderism” and other nonsense.

Condoleeza protege? I’m afraid so.

Iraq wasn’t enough.

Let our boys AND our society survive...even with the damage your kind has done economically and to our men in uniform.

There’s still time and hope with Trump

ciao

“When all those children grow up, Russia is sure to turn communist again. It happened here...”

That probably would have been true a few years ago as the USAID work was starting to turn the younger generation in Russia into Leftist activists against their stoogy old-timers who kept claiming that the West was out to destroy them. Oh well, those efforts were negated by many of the statements by Western leaders regarding Russia, and of course with USAID going away.

So I don’t see that happening there. Now here in the US, of course, we’ve already got that and it’s called the Democrat Party.

GPT says 69.4% of households with children < 18 have two parents present. Pretty close to Russia’s numbers.

Only one in three?

That’s far better than most American cities

The war in Ukraine is existential to them. They'll continue to "suffer" until they reach their goals.

have been abandoned by their fathers

In all cases?

Did the mothers never abandon the fathers, or throw them out of the house?

When you have kids not raised by a loving and caring mother and father you will have a problem.
Parents can hate each other and not even live together,
but Kids need stability, or they wander off and lose it.
They find stability somewhere.
Whether they find it at another home, gangs, military, or school, they will find and adopt it.
Those kids will grow up and society will have to deal with them.
