STOP THE INSANITY! Russia Recruits Teen to Save the War!

Russia’s war economy has entered a phase of desperation, where sustaining the military machine takes priority over every social and ethical boundary. After years of grinding losses, the state is now consuming its own population at a rate it cannot replenish, hollowing out its labor base and exhausting conventional reserves. What once seemed extreme—recruiting foreign laborers, emptying prisons, and coercing migrants—has already been tried and largely failed. Now, the Kremlin has crossed a new threshold by pulling teenagers directly into the war economy, a measure that signals both structural collapse and strategic overextension. This shift does not merely reflect labor shortages; it reveals the degree to which Russia is militarizing every aspect of civilian life, from schools to factories. The result is a war machine running on borrowed time, one that appears increasingly brittle even as it demands ever more sacrifice.
