Russia pushes sex-at-work scheme as population crisis escalates
The Kremlin’s top doctor this week encouraged all Russians to engage in a "sex-at-work" scheme in a move to back President Vladimir Putin’s attempts to counter a growing population crisis.
Despite cash incentives, tax breaks, a nationwide push to discourage abortions and Putin’s years-long attempt to encourage procreation across the country, Russia saw its lowest birth rate in the last quarter-century for the first six months of 2024, reports said following UN findings on worldwide population rates.
Speaking during a Eurasian Women’s Forum on Wednesday, Putin encouraged women’s role in the workplace, but he also reiterated his push for higher birthrates.

"Proper conditions are being created for women to succeed professionally while remaining guardians of the hearth and lynchpins of large families with many children," he said, according to report by Newsweek.
The Kremlin chief reportedly said that women can cope with the load of being both a career-woman and a mother because they "possess a secret that men are unable to fathom."

When pressed by a female reporter about when women are supposed to find the time to manage a family, Russia’s Health minister Dr. Yevgeny Shestopalov said, "Being very busy at work is not a valid reason, but a lame excuse."

On Tuesday 24/10/15 PBS NewsHour interviewed author Bob Woodward from The Washington Post about Woodward's new book WAR .
During this PBS interview the following exchange was reported between U.S. Secretary Austin, and Russian Sec. Shoigu about Russian first use of nuclear weapon in Ukraine:

"If you did this, all the restraints that we have been operating under in Ukraine would be reconsidered ... . This would isolate Russia on the world stage to a degree you Russians cannot fully appreciate." U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin

"I don't take kindly to being threatened." Sec. Sergei Shoigu

"I am the leader of the most powerful military in the history of the world. I don't make threats." U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin

"We have all this intelligence that says the Ukrainians are thinking about using a dirty bomb." [releasing radioactive material into Ukraine] Sec. Sergei Shoigu

"This seems to us like you are trying to establish the predicate for using nuclear weapons ... . Don't do it." U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin

"I understand." Sec. Sergei Shoigu

We are lucky to have such competent public servants supervising U.S. involvement in Russia's War in Ukraine.
The stakes there may be far higher than some U.S. voters realize.

"... The characteristics of Trump are, he really has no plan, it's just what comes into his mind. And he has no team. And he operates alone." Woodward 24/10/15

Desertion I understand. But that implies seeking refuge. Where?
And for the North Korean dictator (KJU), it's a tough secret to keep. KJU could inform the family the deserter was KIA. Where's the body?
As existence seems to be the purpose of a totalitarian dictatorship, KJU would need some persuasive compensation from Russia for North Korea to continue the supply of troops.
Just how much Stolichnaya can the NK porker guzzle?
