The Russia-appointed head of the occupied village of Lazurne in Kherson Oblast said that residents without a Russian passport would not be given medicines, above all insulin, as well as threatened to take the children who do not wish to study in Russian schools to the front line.

    No matter where you are in the world, if you are vulnerable in any way, a conservative will find a way to harm you. It’s a universal truth.

        What do you mean with that? Nothing can be compared to the USA? Is USA perfect then? Brazil has universal free healthcare too. It doesn’t mean Brazil is better than the USA in every possible aspect. Don’t be afraid of comparisons.

        So because USA is better than Russia in many things, then free healthcare is bad because Russia has it and the US doesn’t?

        It’s this black&white mentality that creates all stupid polarization of opinions, you know?

          You’re right. Anyone who genuinely loves their country (whatever their nationality is) needs to be aware of their country’s flaws. You can’t help your society without acknowledging that it needs help.

    My first thought was that maybe Russia was experiencing shortages due to the deteriorating economic situation in Russia but, reading the article, this feels more like a petty bureaucrat that’s upset that the occupied people of Ukraine are not cooperating as well as he wishes, so he makes passive-aggressive “punishments” of the people. This may ultimately be good for the war effort, leading to more behind-the-lines resistance movements.

    Putin has done so many shitty things during the war that it’s hard to rank them. This, however, is among the worst.

      No, no, deliberately bombing a shelter with the word “Children” on it was the…

      You know what, it’s all bad. It’s impossible to rank.

      I think forceful deportation of people to Russia is worse. But that’s just my opinion.

      The West has been doing that for the past year and a half already. It’s not like putting undertrained Ukranian pilots in F-22s against Russian SAMs will affect the outcome of the war drastically.
