Attrition: Russia Recruits Men With AIDS
 

May 1, 2026: Russia is desperately short of sources for new soldiers. They have recruited Cubans, Africans, Central Asians and tried to get Indians, who were attracted to the high signing bonuses, Prime Minister Modi halted that practice. Now Russia is obtaining recruits from AIDS facilities in Russia. The government distributed recruitment posters presenting military contracts to people sick with HIV and hepatitis. These were posted in AIDS prevention locations in some areas of Russia.

The posters offered potential recruits a sizable one-off payment, debt relief, and special attention for both foreigners and those with criminal records.

Patients visiting AIDS Prevention and Infectious Diseases facilities are being encouraged to enlist in the Russian armed forces. Posted notices display information about how Russia is seeking volunteers for the Ukraine war. Russia will accept personnel with HIV and hepatitis.

Soviet style 'genius': Not only does this get rid of their AIDS problem, but it covers the battlefield with biohazard remains.

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Live in  harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all.

Romans 12:16-18

  • The problem with everything is they try and make it better without realizing the old way is fine.
