Perhaps he could bring some men back from the front?
We have plenty of adults in this country who refuse to work I know that much.
Maybe we should be worried about our own country first instead of this “Russia” obsession that morphs into obsession with Ukraine.
LOL - job shortages and rising wages spell doom for Russia!
The UK, Germany, France are SO lucky to have 40% youth unemployment and stagnating wages.
THAT’S how they will defeat Putin!
Illegal aliens is your solution Putin.
Work at 14. Get sent to the meat grinder at 16. Or if you’re lucky enough to live through a tour of Ukraine drink yourself to death at the ripe old ago of 40. Russia stronk like bear.
“Russia’s catastrophic labour shortage has forced businesses to hire teenagers and retirees to fill jobs”
How is this a problem, exactly? Russian teenagers will get valuable work experience and retirees will earn extra income to supplement their (in Russia not very great) pension payments. I’m retired and feel like I’ll have to get a job to keep up with inflation and the cost of living, and also just to keep busy. Instead of importing millions of illegal aliens to do the jobs we supposedly don’t want to do, we should put our native teenagers and elders back to work, too.
Y’all know if you’d stop killing your working men in a WAR you started, you may not have such a problem.
You will win the battle but Russia will lose the war.
The Kremlin has also been discussing efforts to increase the birth rate, which Putin called a matter of “ethnic survival”.
Hey!! I have a great idea. Invade your neighbors and then get a bunch of Russians killed in a pointless conflict and have the survivors spread out over more territory!! That should increase birth rate and ethnic survival. ROFLOL
Ivan Krastev, chair of the Center for Liberal Strategies in Bulgaria, and Stephen Holmes, a law professor at New York University, argue President Vladimir Putin’s obsession with Russia’s demographic decline may be the key.
In an analysis in Foreign Policy magazine on Dec. 6, they drew a parallel with “mourning wars” during the 17th and 18th centuries, when Native American tribes kidnapped women and children from other tribes to offset losses from wars or disease.
“In many ways, it resembles an updated version of such a war, a desperate attempt to replenish a dwindling population by forcibly incorporating a neighboring people into Russia’s own,” Krastev and Holmes wrote. “While the invasion was undoubtedly sparked by imperialist ambitions, anti-Western resentment, and a desire for Great Power recognition, it may also have been conditioned by Russia’s rapidly shrinking, aging, and emigrating population.”

ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!
(((PING!)))
... to be added to the best Zeeper-provided entertainment since Paul Shanklin parodies, ping me bro.
New York Times headline would be: “Russian unemployment at historic lows”
Really cranking up the propaganda are you?
Cretinous spamming azzhole.
Vlad has killed more than a million Russians with his misbegotten attempt to steal land and resources from Ukraine.
Russian hypocrisy is boundless. It's their number one national product.
The daily Russia-is-doomed post.
Surprised that Xi hasn’t sent up Chinese illegal alien migrants into Siberia. A slow invasion of illegals could make Russia or Siberia into a satellite vassal state of China.
Old school. I tell youngsters to score at least two jobs. When I finally receive Sosha Security, I'm gonna want every penny.
And to boot , in 48 days, Putin’s economy is abiout to enter the Trump meat grinder.
And Ukrainian ordnance will start hkitting Moscow.
Putin will try to go nuclear, but there are likely B3s in his future IMHO.
