I know this is the point of war, but what a waste. Russia is wasting its future workers, scientists, parents, etc. on a madman's ego.

Russia has an absolutely horrific demographic situation. There is a huge hole in 15 to 29-year-old demo. These are the people they need to be starting new families, instead they are dying in Putin's war. This was already an awful situation that is being exasperated heavily. And it's not just something you fix, notice how the same hole is appearing in the 0 to 5-year-old demo; that is going to continue.

O, and Ukraine has the exact same demographics chart and issues (the Soviet Union fucked both countries pretty hard, and Putin is fucking both again).

@BombOmOm @lettruthout I think it is only true for the ethnic russians, which the white caucasian russians from Moscow and St Petersburg want to get rid of.

Russia is waging a race war against its own minorities by preferably sending them into the meat grinder at the frontlines.
