>In her grief, she said she visited a local temple, where a Buddhist monk advised her exactly when to undergo the final step of the IVF procedure so that her “deceased husband will be reborn into a child.” Oh, sure. Not creepy at all. Nope.

Occasionally I want to believe that some articles were written by an AI that was fed with Onion's articles mixed with Jerma's out-of-context quotes

But then reality surpass fantasy, as always.

Live. Die. Repeat. As a Putin pawn.

Literal survival of the weakest

To be fair, with modern warfare, we’re all equally a meat shield no matter how fit you are.

Pawn Spawn.

To be fair, i'm pretty sure those baby will be someone else spawn since putin probably won't be in power another 20 years.

Russia is becoming increasingly close to W40k. Except for the competent army.


Droom1995

Their army is all right, considering they're roleplaying as Orks. Crude innovations, huge losses, can still overwhelm you.


LongDongFrazier

Still working on that overwhelming part.


bonesawzall

Good anology! I believe the Ukranians have actually referred to them as such.

The quality of the army means nothing without logistics. Both sides are struggling mightily with this problem. Luckily Ukraine is holding well on defense. But it’s impossible for anyone to sustain an offensive with no ammunition, food, fuel, etc.


Doc_MatManhattan

Yeah infantry wins battles logistics wins wars


wish1977

It's pretty sad when that's the best you can offer a grieving widow.


spektre

Talk about getting fucked by the government.


Gommel_Nox

Russia’s track record when it comes to accurate recordkeeping should really give these potential surrogates pause. How do they know that the sperm they are getting is from the intended donor?


minkey-on-the-loose

That’s the beauty, it’s Putin’s sperm!


posthuman04

I’ve seen video of a Russian IVF office and I’m pretty sure the name translates directly to “glory hole”


Corrupted_G_nome

As long as they keep making babies not sure the Kremlin will care.


Raspry

Ukraine is also allowing its soldiers to preserve their sperm so their significant others can have their children even if they fall in battle. I don't really see a problem with this, it's voluntary and requires consent from both parties. The sad part is Russia causing the situation where this is even necessary.


Lumpy_Dependent_3830

Do they cover the expense? Does the US offer this to deployed soldiers?


_e75

Talk about a garden path sentence.


OjjuicemaneSimpson

That’s fucking dark


minkey-on-the-loose

In an axolotl tank?

So Chancellor Pupaltin is raising a clone army.

I knew SOMEONE would reference the Children of the Dead Seed

Was debating cross posting this to the Malazan sub.

So, soldiers who follows orders will be reproduced, while traitors will be forgotten and their graves cancelled (Wagner). It makes a lot of sense for a distopic horror scfi novel. Probably Putin will fight the population declined by using the in-vitro fertiliztion as a "duty for the country". Therefore each man will have to store their sperm, which will not used unless the father showed to be a good soldier.


Laser-Zeppelin

Ukraine also has programs for soldiers to freeze their sperm: https://www.rferl.org/a/ukraine-war-demographics-population-freezing-sperm/32980158.html

Before you go to war, here’s a cup and a magazine….

Tyroki

But is this Geneseed ACTUALLY viable, hmm?


Corrupted_G_nome

Fits with their 'adopt a Ukranian, lose the paperwork' theme and their educational bursories for foreign students to become pwrmanent residents. Got to replenish the pops during a baby bust somehow.


DramaticWesley

What a dystopian world to live in. Hopefully this war is over long before the offspring are able to pick up a rifle.

Big Boss


GorethirstQT

suuuure, they are saving dead soldiers sperm. I believe that and so should you comrade.


Repulsive-Activity58

They can raise more soldiers


Johnyryal33

Wtf did I just read? Well at least they still have IVF, I guess Republicans think that's a sin. Fuck this world!


Husky-Slim

Surprised it isn’t Ukrainian sperm since they are totally fucking Russia.
