Of course there is plenty of material in Russian, so don't listen to ignorant idiots
like this, that put Russian military camps for children in the same sentence as some "children fighting in Somalia."
These *geniuses* of so-called "journalism" will come up with all kind of crap.

So let's look for a change what these Russian military camps for children are REALLY all about.
They are created primarily for BOYS for a couple of reasons, as you'll see here;
Reason number one, is that some boys want to follow in their parents steps and to choose military ( or police) career. Some parents send their boys there in order to "toughen them up" and to be "real men."
As I've said Russian society is not "politically-correct," and while America's "Left" is increasing trying to abandon Christianity because of controversial issues, Russians are getting along with their Orthodoxy, underlying the proper gender roles as you can see here.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lZFGCXdjxxU&t=269s

or here in a story made by the News channel ( at 2.51 one of the instructors is openly talking about his intolerance to "all these bearded women," and his desire to "help to raise boys the proper way."


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amkYDvUtKWg

( in that segment they were simulating the situation of the "captured commander," that was supposed to be freed.)

These camps are not always dismissive of girls - some of them involve bigger variety of activities, so girls are welcome to join, but since the church is yet again involved in organization of these camps, I'm sure the religious indoctrination of "gender roles" is still in place.

If church is NOT involved, then the camps are more reminiscent of good old "Soviet pioneer camps" which were a common sight during Soviet times.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Q5iKfCBPCA

Now why did all these camps come in place to begin with? I would guess that Putin's government figured out that it couldn't NOT to fill the void left by the Soviet system, and took an opportunity to raise "loyal" to the new capitalist system generation. However such camps ( even when run and overseeing by military professionals) got nothing to do with the craziness of their Ukrainian counterparts, run by the half-wits Nationalist thugs, that provide children with weapons, indoctrinating them "to kill the Moscovites" and stoking hatred and fear in them. That's basically what the Ukrainian "children military camps" are all about, and that's what they are created primarily for. And THAT is as close to "Somali children" as it gets.

You just keep cruising. Not that you ever had anything to add to begin with.

The same few people keep posting in this thread and as always its the same conclusion that is being drawn over and over.
What other conclusion am I supposed to arrive at? I know what happened in Kiev. I watched it unfold day by day, the bussed in thugs and crazies, the western politicians passing out the cookies and free food. I also know that what happened there would have never happened in America, blood would have flowed down the gutters. Ukraine is being turned into a cash cow for corporations the world over and the people of Ukraine get NOTHING.

How can you justify the assault on the Donbas? I thought governments were supposed to govern for the good of their people, to enable their prosperity. Not kill them and take everything they have,

What your solution to all this mess?

I'm not sure what you are trying to get at here. I don't believe either side entirely. Humans as a species are pretty vile creatures that have constantly been at odds with one another. I believe that both Russia and the West as well as any nationalistic groups are at fault in the Ukraine. On this front, I defer from you and Ichoro, but also from people like Alec.

My main criticism was at the fact that Russia became even bigger despite being the largest country in the world. Now, one of the justifications is that Ukraine is its ancestral land, but then if that were the case why is there such outrage when Israel tries to claim its ancestral land. After all, one country is barely 20 000 sq km, while the other is over 17 million with plenty of unused land.

As to your last point, I don't have a solution. Things are much more complicated then they seem.

Funny logic)
America, for example, is the richest country in the world and wants even more. I want to hear your criticism)))

More of what? If you are talking about business, then yes they do want their companies to expand globally as does pretty much every country that is in a position to do so. As for territorial gains, there hasn't really been one in a long time.

I'm talking about territorial expansion as in increasing the size of a country. None of these things have anything to do with that.
