Also, The biggest factor contributing to this relatively low life expectancy for males is a high mortality rate among working-age males from preventable causes (e.g., alcohol poisoning, stress, smoking, traffic accidents, violent crimes).

I've been having extremely violent revenge fantasies about Russia.

I wish someone would take the Putin spawn in Switzerland hostage.

Ukraine will have to start a registry of families from whom the orcs stole children. DNA samples of surviving relatives.

Fuck Russia. Fuck Pootler.

of Peron.

How the Soviets dealt with the children of some of their political enemies, exiled or deceased.

How the US and Canada dealt with Native American kids.

Gotta save the children from being corrupted.
