1. Wouldn't kidnapping be the more accurate word?

Raise them, brainwash them, put guns in their hands and send them off to war to do the politicians dirty work.

2. Russia has a severe demographic problem.

The base of the mushroom is supposed to replace/support the big part and can't -- suggests the death knell of Russia's dream of being a world power. This is likely to have made a significant contribution to Putin's decision to begin invasions and takeovers.

Look to see more mass abductions of young age cohorts into Russia.

Forced relocation of non-POW civilians is a form of genocide.

7. It's not deportation, it's kidnapping.

This is a crime whether or not there is a war.
