History repeats itself.
From the article:
“The paper says the demographic collapse goes all the way back to the time of independence in 1991, after the collapse of the Soviet Union. At that time, Ukraine’s population stood at 52 million. By 2001, it had dropped to 48.5 million, and right before the invasion, it stood at only 42 million, a fall of 10 million since 1991.
“These figures are consistent with population declines in all former Soviet republics, but the biggest blow came in the opening weeks of the war, which caused women and children to flee abroad en masse, given that the government had immediately banned the departures of men between the ages of 18 and 65. And today, the resident population is estimated at between 28 and 31 million,” writes the Italian newspaper.”
““My wife with our two children aged 5 and 7 had left for Germany in the first days of the war. Since then, we were in contact less and less. And now I’ve discovered that she’s found a new companion,” said 40-year-old Alexei to Italian journalists. Despite the man fighting for his country near Bakhmut, he was abandoned for another man.”
Their fearless leader Zelensky has vowed to fight to the last man. It is a suicide pact. The wife has made the decision to start a new life with the very real possibility that her 40 year old husband will not make it back.
While I was in Vietnam, within just a few months we started to get the Dear John letters. Wives, girlfriends, started to find new partners rapidly and it definitely had an effect on our morale.
Our XO even had a bulletin board made up so we could post their Dear Johns for everyone to read. We quickly discovered that they all had the same format and said pretty much the same thing and after a while, we realized that women are fickle, and we were all in the same boat.
When I got home, I was amazed to see what women were settling for - but it's the way of the world.
How do you say Jody in Ukrainian?
European men must be quite DESPERATE to be hooking up with Ukrainian women...but then, having met some European women, I guess I can see the situation of the men there.
So, the smart ones that see a devastated country, with the possibility of being ‘repatriatdd’ to Russia, are skipping town and leaving ‘Dear Ivan’ letters.
Face it, dude, she’s written you off as dead, or as good as, and taken the kids to a safer quieter future.
Mo jobs, no infraztructure, no foodstuffs in the stores, and a whackjob “with a priapus for Putin” ...I would leave as well.
It would be one thing if you were talking about a rational and decent cause..... But hoho women plainly view anybody who’d risk leaving them as widows for the sake of KKKomodimir Ichabodovich Zelensky and the nazi government in Kiev as losers
TTIUWOP’s
so the neoCON scum have committed genocide against ukrainians under the guise of helping them. sick stuff
Like, this is nothing new. Why so surprised that people will 1.) protect their children and 2.) run from stupid wars and 3.) not return to a country that’s flattened?
Again, nothing new under the sun
Oh and Zelensky is an ahole, corrupt, a little gay and will flee when he gets enough western money
if you Russian stooges have to resort to this kind of Tokyo Rose-style nonsense, then you’re definitely losing
the desperation reeks ...
If Ukraine gets it’s territory back, it can restart the opening up of gas and oil fields. This will provide men with good paying jobs. Eventually, women will show up...
