Putin signed a law in August creating a new required course in “Fundamentals of Security and Defense of the Motherland.”
In July, the defense ministry approved high school-age lessons on how to operate assault rifles, combat drones and hand grenades. They will be introduced across Russia next year.
Barbieri believes the drone lessons are in response to Ukraine’s extensive use of drones to disrupt and damage Russian locations.
At younger ages, children as young as seven are learning how to assemble machine guns.
I think we all know Putin is about to deploy children to the front lines.
Once you’re already wanted for war crimes why stop there?
I would like to think at some point he will overplay his hand and the people will rise up against him, but I doubt they will. If he’s given your kids machine guns then sourcing weapons shouldn’t be a problem.
It can’t be long, surely.
Beslan told the world how little they value the lives of children.
