Women Have Always Been the Primary Victims of War

Lately the news has been rather quiet on the Russia-Ukraine war. The round-the-clock reporting so familiar in 2022 has given way to occasional updates about the latest U.S. aid package. Take a drive or a stroll around your neighborhood, and it’s hard to find the Ukrainian flags we saw so commonly in 2022. On social media, many people have quietly removed blue and yellow filters from their photos or Ukraine flag emojis from their Twitter bios. Sure, there’s still those “NAFO” dorks or subreddits full of neckbeards that greedily lick their chops over the latest gory drone footage from the front lines, but these freaks are the outliers, more akin to the lone Japanese holdouts on random islands in the South Pacific well into the 1960s, rather than being representative of a real mass movement of support.

The Russian war machine, fueled by a powerful industrial base capable of producing munitions on a mass scale, and a steady supply of troops, is grinding Ukrainian resistance down day by day. While Russia expends 10,000 artillery rounds per day, Ukraine’s main backer, the U.S., only produces about 30,000 shells per month, most of which (for now at least) fortunately do not even go to Ukraine.

Accurate casualty numbers are hard to come by, because despite being a dutiful sugar daddy to the tune of well over $100 billion, the U.S. taxpayer still does not have a clear picture of what exactly is going on under the corrupt Zelenskyy regime. That being said, a recent report on the horrors of the war by one of Ukraine’s biggest cheerleaders, The New York Times, perhaps inadvertently shed some light on the true cost for the Ukrainian people, in an article titled: “War Shatters Dating Scene for Women in Ukraine”. In terms of tone-deafness, the headline ranks up there with the time that Hillary Clinton lamented that women are always the primary victims of war, since they lose their brothers, fathers and husbands.

The article, which you really must read to believe, centers mostly on how hard it is for Ukrainian women to find a decent man amidst all-out war. It contains unbelievable parts like this: “For women, the problem is particularly acute. Tens of thousands of men have died.” (Emphasis mine).

While the average Ukrainian man is either worried about dodging incoming artillery fire, or evading voracious Ukrainian recruiters roving the streets of Kyiv for conscripts, the average Ukrainian woman has to navigate an even scarier possibility – the prospect of dating an amputee!

On the dating app Bumble, Ms. Bairachna liked the looks of a hipster. But when she scrolled through his photographs, she noticed his amputated leg.

“I looked at his profile for 15 minutes and felt so sorry for him”…She wondered if she could handle a relationship with a maimed war veteran. Then she swiped left, removing him from potential matches. “I feel I’m not ready for that.”

Given the dwindling numbers of eligible Ukrainian bachelors, a striking power imbalance has arisen on the dating scene. For lucky lads that survive, even amputees whose prosthetics may give some women the “ick”, it’s a buyer’s market. This new paradigm is forcing women to compete on men’s terms for scarce resources. Interviewed at a speed-dating event, where he received invitations from a dozen women for a follow-up date, Ukrainian veteran Serhii Chuikov, himself a below-the-knee amputee, explains:

“I don’t need to come [to speed dating] a second time because there are already so many nice girls today… It’s more than enough.”

It turns out when you kill off tens of thousands of young men, the ones remaining have their pick of the lot, and don’t feel compelled to settle down right away.

Literally anyone could have predicted this outcome when the war broke out over two years ago, but to the paper of record, this is presented as an inexplicable and unexpected tragedy. A simple way to avoid the destruction of a whole generation of Ukrainian men would have been to end the war with a quick settlement, which Boris Johnson sabotaged in spring 2022 to the approval of American leaders, who gushed at the prospect of fighting Russia to the last dead Ukrainian.

While official figures state that Ukraine has lost 70,000 people, an article like this might indicate a higher figure, leading to a totally skewed imbalance between the sexes that will not be put right, at least not organically. This of course is the intent of the global elites that have egged Ukraine on every step of the way.

Ukraine’s Ministry of Economy announced in July that they will be looking for 4.5 million workers over the next decade, and are now holding consultations with the International Organisation for Migration, an arm of the United Nations, to address this issue. This inevitably means mass migration from the Global South in order to dispossess the surviving Ukrainians of what remains of their country once they lose the war. This great replacement will solve the country’s dating imbalance, though, so I guess that makes it all right.
