Summary
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law banning adoption of Russian children by citizens of countries where gender transition is legal, targeting at least 15 nations.
Additional legislation prohibits promoting child-free lifestyles, with fines up to $50,000, framing such views as part of Western efforts to weaken Russia.
These measures align with Putin’s push for “traditional values” amid population decline, including past bans on LGBTQ+ information and gender-transition procedures.
Critics view these moves as part of a broader crackdown on liberal ideologies and dissent, intensified since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.
Strange, the overlap between the political obsessions of Russia, and those of Conservatives in the United States. It’s almost as if one controls the information consumed by the other…
And also the UK and Australia specifically in reverse order chronologically. Who could possibly be responsible for such a network?

The world doesn’t revolve around you little motherfucker
“Are the western efforts in the room with us right now?”
Need more soldiers right?!

Hear me out Putin, but what if you didn’t toss everyone who can fog a mirror into your meat grinder of a war? No? Wait why do you want me to stand near the window?
It’s so they have more people to put into the meat grinder.
Ukraine isn’t the end game for Russia.
Ukraine isn’t the end game for Russia
Not intentionally.
What a pointlessly cruel thing to do to children.
Have to keep them home to repopulate the meat grinder.
Gotta keep enough meat for the grinder I guess? Can’t see any other rationale.
Russin orthodox church is Putins tool, but you sometimes need to skratch the other back.
The children they stole from Ukraine in one of their many war crimes?
It’s a non-issue being used to further sow division in neighbor countries. Don’t take the bait
No it’s a cover for the real agenda of banning anyone suggesting it’s okay for women to not be breeding stock for future cannon-fodder for Putin to use for his absurd imperial obsessions
It’s only a non-issue because they already have other bans in place (at least on Americans). It will probably decrease Russian adoptions though
I’d also argue that a ban on speech is an issue
They’re probably bugged anyway
Secret KGB spies that transfered their conciousness to the orphans.
That would make an awesome movie.
Nah, this assumes that the orphan’s original conciousness are overwritten (meaning dead), not exactly family friendly.
Well… There is a tv show with something like this.
Travelers
People from an apocolystic future invented time travel but only able to send back conciousness, not entire humans. So they send time travelers back to overwrite someone’s conciousness moments before they die in historical records, and assume control of their body. They came back in time in order to try and prevent the apocolypse. It only got 3 seasons before getting cancelled but the ending is a fine 7/10 ending, could’ve been better if they didn’t cancel it. But overall I rate the entire series 8.5/10.
12 monkeys
Yea thats another time travel show.
Honestly, Season 1 and 2 of 12 Monkeys is a bit boring when I think about it, it was great at the time, but when I think about it, I liked Travelers better.
Overall I rate 12 Monkeys 7/10 with Season 1 and 2 being 5/10
I mean the movie
The movie is terrible. I mean in comparison to the series its terrible. If you haven’t watched the series you should, its so much different, so much better.
I guess I didn’t expect this move but it’s the least surprising thing ever. Russia is about as forward thinking as Texas.
Here goes my plan of mass adopting Russian children and making sure they know I love everyone, no matter how they identify themselves.
