A shocking new video out of Crimea shows Russian efforts to recruit and indoctrinate kids by forcing them through military training exercises, including martial arts lessons and rifle-handling classes.
Shared by Russian state media, the disturbing recording shows a young boy and girl in Simferopol, the peninsula’s second-largest city, racing to assemble Kalashnikov-style rifles at their desks, according to a report from Business Insider.
When the two finish — within moments of each other — another student asks, “Who won?”
Then the video cuts to a group of Crimean schoolchildren toting rifles in what looks like the lobby of a building.
They drop the guns on command, then run through a pre-arranged series of martial arts techniques

“The communist and fascist Putin boosters would squawk and cry, if children here were made to emulate members of the military forces. But notice that they’re cheering the Russians doing the same to little Ukrainian kids.”
Of course they would. They hate America and would prefer us to be weak.
Better than teaching them transgenderism, pronouns, and sexuality at that age.
We learned about guns in school when I was a kid. Hell we even had guns in the open in the parking lot.

Yeah but in those days a person murdering someone with a gun was invited to have a seat on Old Sparky! Now such a person is invited to live comfortably where he’s guaranteed three meals everyday, free legal representation, free medical and dental care, free access to the gym, free access to the theater, and free access to a law library! All provided by the taxpayers for a few years or months while he’s waiting for his parole request to be approved!
At least they aren’t teaching their children that men can have periods and get pregnant.

Update on Russian military operations in Ukraine for March 16, 2023:
- Russian warplanes intercepted and apparently clipped the propeller of a US MQ-9 drone carrying out surveillance near Crimea;
- The US has no means of recovering the drone, though Russia may have an opportunity to recover it;
- While the drone operated in international airspace according to the US, it was collecting intelligence on behalf of Ukraine as part of ongoing hostilities, as a party of the conflict and thus threatening Russian national security;
- Bakhmut continues to face encirclement;
- The Western media has begun admitting to the grim deterioration of Ukraine’s forces under the weight of Russia’s strategy of attrition;
- Ukraine has lost the majority of troops trained by NATO over the last 8-9 years;
- Ongoing NATO training is rushed, incapable of meeting or exceeding Russia’s pool of trained manpower;
- Ammunition and weapons are also admittedly running out;
- Ukraine may or may not be diverting reserves for an upcoming spring offensive to instead fight in Bakhmut;
- Any possible counteroffensive around Bakhmut might indicate just how badly deteriorated Ukraine’s forces have become;
No one’s cheering. The kids are using their noggins. Every country does things their own way. You’re buying into the propaganda as to why they are learning it. What are kids in the US learning at 5 these days? Transgenderism, men can get pregnant, sexuality, drag queens. Not something to brag about either.
Also, who are you to say anyone here hates America? That’s really a foil thing to say. You sound exactly like liberals - they insult others as a defense. It’s liberals tearing this nation apart by their indoctrination in schools.
If you have an argument to make. Make it. But, stop with the insults. You’ve been spending too much time on twitter, fb, and/or tic toc.
But, the shocking videos of Ukrainians conscripting 16-year olds and school children singing songs about Nazi collaborator won’t be shown in the Western media.
Good luck war cheerleaders, Russia is the Bear, don’t poke the bear.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I’m not refuting any of your remarks, but I have to ask: If all you’ve described is accurate how come it’s taking the Bear so long to destroy the Ukes?
he’ll bankrupt us thanks to demoncrats and rinos.

From what I’m reading lately it appears they’ve nearly accomplished that goal!
About the only thing those two brain cells of yours can come up with is HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER HITLER.
“” Vlad is fully stocked for a 30 month high intensity war with NATO””
Where is he hiding it? Don’t you think the Russian soldiers dying by the tens of thousands with old stuff and running low on everything, would like to have access to all of that?
No different than the rest of Russia...
“”Is that Lee Harvey in the front row far left?””
Yes, if you notice Ted Cruz’s father is in the back row.
James Arness is 3rd from the right front.
Shut up - useless trollbag.
I wish WE trained our boys to be warriors - instead of little fagoids.
Sorry but it’s probably impossible to get through to some people. I know someone who thinks war with Russia is a great idea because they are, in her words, bad people.
I tried to explain that if we went to war with Russia (and perhaps China) that we (being in a strategic city and on the nuclear target map) would instantly become plasma.
Her response was “what’s plasma?”
Anyone ever heard of the samillion marksmanship program? It was in US schools until about 1995. I also remember photos of I believe they were Russian kids doing this back in the ‘50s. This is really nothing new
“Also, who are you to say anyone here hates America?”
Because there are some people on here who when asked to say something nice about America they are utterly unable to say anything nice.
They spew plenty of sewage about America. They sure do love Russia and make no secret about it.
But can they say anything nice about America? No.
Because they hate America.
“But, stop with the insults.”
I get ten times the insults from JonPreston alone than what I ever dish out. Go tell it to him and his Russian friends.
If we have WWIII, kids with AKs won’t be fighting it.
This is some kind of propaganda. Not sure who it’s targeted at. This is the kind of crap you see from North Vietnam and North Korea.
God, don’t tell me Kim sent Putin his social media guys…
