My first trip to Europe was in the summer of 1967. I spent some time in a small town in Germany and realized after a few days that there almost no men in their late 40s or 50s living there. Eventually I figured out they had probably died during WWII. Putin is doing his best to kill off or drive away a big chunk of Russia's male population. And of course Ukraine is losing soldiers too defending their country. #PutinWarCriminal
