Putin’s peace talks negotiator claimed Russians have extra chromosome

Vladimir Putin’s chief delegate at peace talks with Ukraine is a historian who once claimed that Russians have an extra chromosome due to their superiority.

-snip-

Mr Medinsky also earned widespread ridicule after arguing that Russians were particularly heroic and able to survive hardship because they “have one extra chromosome”. While it is likely that he was trying to speak figuratively, the assertion, made in 2012, prompted scorn even within Russia, with critics pointing out that having an extra chromosome is associated less with genetic superiority than with conditions such as Down’s syndrome.

Anyone who has watched Russians drinking have no doubt that this is true.

“having an extra chromosome is associated less with genetic superiority than with conditions such as Down’s syndrome.”

Then he has a point.

There is some expansion in blogs seen this morning about what was actually agreed to in the negotiations.

One item was that 1,000 POWs, from each side, will be exchanged. But there was another exchange that has not received much coverage. Apparently corpses were also agreed exchanged.

950 Ukrainian corpses were to be traded for 27 Russian corpses. The point of this is to provide the information to the families.

There was a jump in some international media to address the disparity and counter what it suggests. The rationale makes some sense. There were three factors presented: first is that Ukraine troops do not make it a priority to recover dead soldiers because it often puts themselves at risk. It’s not intended to be a statement of cowardice or poor morality. It is just the training to maximize effectiveness.

The second reason proposed is that Russians are advancing in Ukraine are in retreat and recovering bodies is impossible if they fallen on ground that has been lost.

And the last reason is that there is indeed a disparity in casualties. The first two reasons were intended to lessen the impact of this final item and what it would imply.

Also apparently during the negotiations, the Russian delegation proposed withdrawal of Ukraine troops from the four oblasts that voted to join Russia. There is no Ukrainian troop presence in Crimea so that was not part of the demand. There was no demand beyond this one concerning rearmament in a ceasefire. Only this one to enable a ceasefire. The Ukraine delegation apparently strongly refused this and the language chosen was aggressive and insulting. The Russian reply was think carefully about your words because next time the requirement will be 5 oblasts.

And finally, apparently, the Russian delegation informed Ukraine’s delegation that they had computed the extent of their own resolve and as another concession they would inform Ukraine of how long they were willing to fight in pursuit of their goals. The number was 21 years.

These items are from blogs that I would say are probably pro Russian except that they fill with fights from pro Ukraine posts. I would not say that that makes them neutral but neutrality or leaning maybe he’s determined by number of posts.

That extra chromosome Russia has is 640,000 combat troops now operating against Ukraine, and another 450,000 in fully operational and trained combat reserves.

Well said, but will the chicken-hawks listen?
