Russia's army lacks men?

[AndrewChan84]

Can we chop off our balls to avoid conscription? It is better to be born with vagina because vaginal more precious than penis. A boys life is cheaper than a girls life, and used in the army like dogs.

[maxismax100]

YEAH BECAUSE ALL OF RUSSIA IS DRUNK ON VODKA WHAT LOSERS

[CompPerformanceFreak]

@vassavolk You guys struggle to keep your people in the military, the United States has met its quota for 6 years + in a row, our air force has had years with a 300% quota and our military is volunteer, not mandatory. We sign for 4 or 6 years and yet we dont have problems and you guys do. I would hope that would turn on a little light bulb in your head and maybe start using your brain. Your country is ran by the Russian mafia and all your politicians are crooked, even more then the U.S. Sad.

[1901974]

this is a idiot vid...give me a break russia has plenty of men reserves birthrate 1.7 milion per annum three times as much as uk germany france......

[paulsviplist]

Big government forceing people to do dangerious work that they do not want to do sounds like slaveory.

those poor kids are slaves now.

[Nightmonkey17]

The draft is good for all Russians as long as they shave off their mullets!

[seseljsrs]

The problem isn't the lack of bodies, it's the "human rights" groups mentioned in the beginning of the report.

[gangstanikes]

why the hell the are they drafting, are they expecting war?

[SuperTankT95]

We always at war, i even do not remember peace time.

[smalltime0]

They have the largest land border on earth to protect.... They need a very large army to effectively protect from even the smallest threat.

[rantrandomly]

But you have no enemies? No one is interested in invading and who would want to try to occupy Russia even if such a thing was possible Get a small professional army designed for what everyone actually needs: fast mobile, anti terrorist, natural disasters, ect ect. Russia is only holding on to conscription 4 domestic political reasons, not real threats.

[RussianDefender100]

LOL Russia has far more threats than your

yankee imaginary terrorism that you look outside of other countries . we are always looking out for militants crossing the caucasus and there is the border territorial disputes and potential border wars in the near future

[rantrandomly]

We have been attacked by terrorists just like u so I'm not sure why this threat is 'imaginary'. And what border disputes? Georgia is not exactly a military giant. And when it comes to China u r better of investing in technology b/c no one can field larger #'s then them.

[panasyukm]

Everyone Man goes to the army in Russia when they turn 18. It is mandatory.

[smalltime0]

Singapore has a similar policy, they have no terrorist or conflicts, but its better to be prepared then to be sorry

[MarshalGeorgyZhukov]

I remember when I joined. That was 8 years ago.

[USAAIRPOWER]

Draft isn't good! You can't draft people that just got done from High school or from College! Draft fail just like during Vietnam War & Soviet Afghan War!

[mattlewis66]

This is indicative of a larger problem for Russia of an aging and diminishing population. You can thank the evils of abortion and the sexual revolution for that. It is incredibly sad.

[RussianDefender100]

No Moron

its from the world war 2 and Stalins mass deportations and murders and its just started

since 2001 and will be expected to until 10 years

for the demographic gender ratios to change

[smalltime0]

Its also due to the rather large jewish population that steadily left since the beginning of Isreal

[mattlewis66]

I expected more than just insults from you, but maybe you are a fanatic abortion baby killer type. Here from wikipedia: "It is estimated that there are more abortions than births in Russia. In 2004, at least 1.6 million women had an abortion (a fifth of them under the age of 18) and about 1.5 million gave birth." There was a slight improvement with Government subsidies, but not enough to bring your birthrate to even replacement ratio and the data from 2008/09 will be horrendous.

[RussianDefender100]

LOL " estimate ", what are you blind fool

it will take at 10 years for the demographics

to take effect and its already working

considering this will progress from time to

time, population is lower in the caucasus morons

one thing for sure, immigration is not the answer unlike your country

that is breeding ground for illegal immigartion demographics that will make up the

large majority of your population :))

[mattlewis66]

If white people don't want to reproduce that is their unfortunate choice. If others want to reproduce, more power to them. There is no superiority of one race over the other.

[crocolix]

Abortion in the United States:

Statistics and Trends

The Consequences of Roe v. Wade

49,551,703

Total Abortions since 1973

87% are whites

do some math

so amigo..learn spanish

[mattlewis66]

I've got no misconceptions about the tragedy of abortion in the U.S. Abortion eats at the very heart of our morals. If we'd had no abortion, we would have been able to supply Russia with its needed men for their army.

[crocolix]

what about making kids if you cant feed them all..isnt it a bigger crime?

btw you can start with you self..make more kids USA army will need them to die like heroes protecting your county on another side of earth

[leadman1979]

Putin himself explored the issues surrounding the low birth rate during his speech, asking "What has prevented a young family, a young woman, from making this decision? The answers are obvious: low incomes, a lack of normal housing, doubts about the level of medical services and quality education. At times, there are doubts about the ability to provide enough food.

[crocolix]

btw those statistics are kinda crap

like 4 millions of only ex ussr jews are american now

be happy to feed them

1990-2004 alota immigration from russia too

btw only idiots are in america

[mishgun420]

@crocolix ur mother is an idiot i hope 1 day to nominate u for the darwin prize!!

[crocolix]

hey dont take that defender seriously

hes or stupid teen

or dunno from some countries that hate russia

[h0tie]

Russia=Motherland, Germany= Fatherland, Poland = Fucked in the middle...

[Dadianooo]

You fukin dirty Chink.. Poland always fought... Never give up! We don't belive our counrty is mother or father . It's our native land.. and that's all.. You stupid fat bastard.. You can only thank British, they gave you all.. If not them you would eat grass and trees.. So shut the fuck up kid.

[SuperTankT95]

Professional army this decision of a problem.

[needbailout]

WHAT happened to the former USSR states grab those guys hey if the wimp out get middle east or afghanistan kids they'll love to join

[BulgarianTuber]

everybody knows that after the second world war Russian men declined. Up to this day in Russia there are 10 million men less than women. 75 to 65 million women to men ratio. As they said including the 90s Russian army declined from a super army to just an army

[Gintoxiccc]

you mix the Soviet Army with the Russian today army. Soviet Army was made by about 250 Million inhabitants of the USSR and now by about 130 Million Russians. Birthrate of former USSR 1990 war 4.5 and now about Russia today 0.3-0.8 big difrients.. nothing to do with WW2

[BulgarianTuber]

All I was saying is that during the second world war more russian men lost their lives than women. That is a fact. Women still recount more not only from the birth decline during the 90s but because of WWII as well. I did not exclude the 90s.

[Czaendermajer]

The Russian army is bigger than the AMERICRAP army & even with those high numbers they have more of those fancy war machines than their man power!!!!!, its the wars of cyber suckoids & dinamic dicks!!!▐▐▐8D

[hosank]

thats the kind of talk that gets you into humiliating defeats. no offence, but the russian army in 2009 is nowhere near the level of the american army

[Czaendermajer]

yes but if each russian unit can destroy 100 or 1000 units then they are invincible ▐8D
