The solution to the demographic problem ... is to pay people to have children. Require the couple to stay married and raise them, or the payments stop. That is all. Societies spend a lot of money on things that do not affect their actual survival. So, there should be money for something that does.
What's sad about it is that breaking out your old school winter hat and hanging out with the troops and officers for a day is something Putin should be doing and would have done back in the day. During the second Chechnyan war which was won thanks to Putin he did put in visits to the front. Where the hell is he now? Lukashencko is apparently more comfortable around not just his own but even Russian troops than Putin himself.
To be fair managing Russia is probably a lot harder than managing Belarus all things considered. Lukashencko has doubtless been under pressure a lot but the pressure Putin has been under his whole time as head of state has likely been much heavier. All things considered we are lucky to have had Putin but I gotta agree that Lukashencko projects the auora of a born leader more than Putin these days.
My only real gripe with Lukashencko is that these days, as in the past few months you can find a bigger selection of excellent Belarussian produce in Russia than in Belarus itself. Like in Bryansk in Russia you can find better Belarussian kolbasa and beef than in Brest. I guess Belarus makes better income selling their produce in Russia now than at home. If you skip to 1:45 in this country balls video its not too much of an exaggeration
Russia ball is saying sanctions sanctions choke on your sanctions Ill become even better doing import substitution and Belarus ball says hey russia we are making a union state let me do important substitution for you. Than Russia ball is gorging on Belarusian potato pancakes, kvas and beer and all the stores are selling Belarussian produce.
The solution to declining birth rates is found in the Old Testament:
Premarital fornication is met with shotgun marriage. Anyone who doesn't want a shotgun marriage gets shipped off to the monastery, or gets shotgunned.
Adulterers are punished harshly.
Divorce is banned, except for adultery.
Wives submit to their husbands, and the law does not prevent husbands from forcing their wives to submit.
Perpetual consent within marriage is once again legally recognized.
Abortion treated as murder.
I realize that the author here is a Gnostic (more technically a Marcionist), but the Old Testament is some A-Grade social technology. The Anglos conquered the world with it, and became a hollowed out rotting corpse when they strayed from it.
If you are so for autocracy while not shilling polygamy old slavic way?
Women prefer to have children with one 11/10 Chad after all. Look at the Slovak parlimentarist officially making children to 11 women.
in case of systems that work you missed the republic and most part of ancient history including origins of Rome, Greece, Alexander's Empire and peak British Empire.
Even China was flourishing under Taoist rule too.
It's a bit idealistically unrealistic when Russia is ruled by an Old Man, and these tend to be risk averse. And Luka isn't young as well anymore so he will wish to leave a heritage, a stable throne for son.
Lithuanian is a peasant language and also the most archaic baltoslavic dialect.
Belarusians speaking own dialect is a pain for imperial Russian but a joy for any actual Slav, you know one who actually cares about well-being of one ethnic origins and respects the same in brotherly tribes.
Great post, but strike from Belarus doesn't make any sense to me.
1. Drags Belarus potentially into the war, and problem with that is Belarus has very long borders with Ukraine and NATO countries that would be difficult to defend.
2. Any force entering from the north i.e from Belarus would have very long and increasing supply lines through potentially hostile territory
3. Be a very long way to Donbass front to link up there.
Surely much better would be multiple alternating strikes from RF just north or south of Kharkiv? Using the repeated hammer blows strategy used effectively by the Soviets in WWII, shorter supply lines, friendlier territory, and close to Donbass front to link up there when indicated. (But then one would need competent military leadership and not sure one sees that). (Also any offensive would need destruction of Dnieper bridges to ensure success, and that would require competent and resolute political leadership. I don't think I see that either).
Just lift the tax burden on families. More children, proportionately lower taxes and I mean way lower taxes for the family than for the singles. Childless have the option of adoption and take away the exorbitant ransom price and miles of red tape required to adopt a child.
I have friends who were absolutely robbed blind over two years trying to adopt two boys from Haiti. Two trips to Haiti to be "acclimated" read shaken down for a month's expense for room and board, and about $70,000 in fees and paperwork to get through a gauntlet of bureaucrats who hate Christians to begin with. Christian family, working male father, at home mother of four other boys, just trying to do the right thing by these boys. It cost a fortune, but the boys have a good home, are part of the family - brothers to other boys in the home - and thank God for keeping the father working and prosperous.
Yet just today I read about a pair of queers who were allowed to adopt two young boys and were just arrested for using the boys for homo-erotic child porn.
Queers! Allowed to adopt children, the most helpless of victims. Sometimes I think a hunting trip to a "gay parade" would be worth it. No limit ... . But then I realize the problem is really with the sick demon-possessed who call themselves "government" and their corrupt "courts." Unfortunately those do not cluster in any publicly accessible areas.
What would an attack from the north out of Belarus look like, in broad terms? A run down towards Donbass to complete the long-awaited encirclement? Go for Kiev? Other? Is there danger the AFRF will repeat the mistakes of the early SMO, and not give due consideration to the resistance they can expect to meet?
Luka got the balls. Before I remember Putin riding horse bear chested, I thought to myself, man this guy is so much better than lame muslim homObama. Now, Putin is the WEF stooge. I want to ask a couple silly questions and forgive me for my ignorance: what is the difference Belorussians (White Russians) and Russians culturally and linguistically? When does Belarus be part of Russia again?
A bit off topic but could you please tell me what you know about Vershinin at Russia Matters. Was this guy born in Russia and emigrated to the US as a kid? Any value to his views or is it all propaganda?
I'm never one to unduly piss-off God-Emperors of the Slavlands or anywhere else. While I wouldn't go so far as to say nukes are a hoax, I get your point. Their usefulness is limited and more defensive in nature, as a deterrent not as offensive weapons ... at least so far. Had Ukraine not willingly agreed to repatriate Soviet nukes already present in Ukraine at Independence, and renounce nuclear ambitions in the future, we might be having a completely different conversation. lol
Interesting developments regarding changing views on abortion in Russia. Those are very hopeful signs of a demographic resurgence. Russia would be leading the world in getting back to sanity. She would gain many allies in the non-western nations and also considerable sympathy from truly moral elements within the decadent and failing west seemingly hell bent on civilizational suicide.
Lukashenko gave sanctuary to January 6th election fraud protesters.

Recently Lukashencko showed up to the polygon in Brest where the Russians and Belarusians have their joint training center:

"Send that nuke from Moscow onto Warsaw instead.?" "Both Poland and Russia will be better off for it?" What? Say again? Can this be dark slavic humor?
Discuss and explain.
If Luka wants to be King Emperor in Russia, he'll have to win the next election there.
Stalin protected unborn children and discouraged sodomy.

Why Not Actually Fix the Flagging Birthrate? At the same time when depopulation of Russia and Ukraine is taking place?
