Unfortunately that’s useless, the people needing to be hit are all kinda distributed over all of Russia, and the punishment is severe.
But teaching children to build tools for modern war is an absolute positive. Possessing an AK is no good for a revolution today anyway, while with small drones you can do a lot.

Radio Free Europe is literally US propaganda. This is like thinking the National Enquirer is “News You Can Trust”

Kidnap Ukrainian’s children and put them into sweatshops building drones to kill their families, real class act this civilization

Positively dystopian.

Positively american.

No. We have our own dystopia, our kids get shot in the classroom. We don’t have them assemble the guns to kill other people.
Big difference.

Links to Radio Free Europe articles get posted way too often on Lemmy. It’s just RT for the US government.

It really is not cause nothing is as blatant as ruzi media

It only looks that way from inside the imperial bubble.

I don’t think that’s a completely fair comparison. They are both state tools for establishing power through narratives. They are both heavily biased.
But RT is Orwellian in that it just makes shit up and has no respect for even appearing credible. While RFE/RFL tends to be biased towards publishing pro-western stories, but they don’t tend to make shit up from scratch.
Of course, who knows what the fuck is happening there right now, my analysis is pre-Trump 2024.

When American kids enter the fight expect the coolest under fire mother fucking soldiers you ever seen
An entire generation of kids raised in a war zone of school shootings
They’re already trained

Oh noooo!!! Scary Russians!!! jfc.
The indoctrination system in USA is completely controlled by the MIC. Almost all of the R&D is funded for violence. This starts way before college. Probably every kid will be working for the military at some point.

Hey guess what? Both of these can be bad. I’d argue that the case in “Russia” is a bit worse, seeing as this is Crimea, but both are fucking awful.

Thats what soviets did too. There were classes for gun assembly and shooting practice and its not a new thing.
I don’t think military skill prep is a bad thing for small countries but coming from current ruzi administration is certainly is a bit on the nose. As in “training kids to terrorize country they invaded with semi-autonomous remote weapons” just doesn’t ring the same as “military prep in case of invasion”

Are we forgetting that the US has JROTC in schools? Literally training kids for the military…

Teaching kids war is good in any case. Teaching kids that war is good is bad.

Gave me brave brew world vibes since they are essentially raising them up to be the foot soldier class. It would be even easier to draft them

Gotta wake up to the reality that USA is doing the exact same thing.
