That's fine - they don't want to play by my rules, they can forage for themselves in the soon to be ruins of our civilization.

I bet zoomer bitches dig GenX cock, especially when they have to call him "daddy."

I didn’t know Newsweek was in business.
The article seems to be confusing boomers and gay and lesbian teachers.
All I can say about this subject is the more your age cohort smokes weed, the lamer you’re going to be.
Boy was I lucky; we had no TV in the summer. The vacation house didn’t have one.
We read books and had adventures.
My father later caved in and we saw Armstrong step on the moon.

Elderly US citizen pleads guilty in Russia of fighting for Ukraine

Stephen James Hubbard, 72, was allegedly fighting in Izyum before he was captured by Russian forces in April 2022.

Stephen James Hubbard, a US citizen, has pleaded guilty in a Moscow court to charges of fighting as a mercenary for Ukraine, according to Russia’s RIA Novosti news agency.

RIA said 72-year-old Hubbard admitted in a hearing at the Moscow City Court on Monday that he had been paid to fight for Ukraine against Russia.

“Yes, I agree with the indictment,” RIA quoted him as saying.

Last week, a court ordered Hubbard to be placed into pre-trial detention until March 26, 2025. He faces a sentence of between seven and 15 years if convicted.

Hubbard’s sister Patricia Fox cast doubt on his reported confession, saying her brother was too old to fight. She said he had been living in Ukraine since 2014 and she had last spoken to him over Skype in September 2021.

“He is so non-military,” she told the Reuters news agency by phone. “He never had a gun, owned a gun, done any of that…He’s more of a pacifist.”

RIA, citing a prosecutor in court, said Hubbard had signed a contract with a Ukrainian territorial defence unit in the northeastern Ukrainian city of Izyum at the start of the war in February 2022.

The prosecution said he had been promised $1,000 a month and was provided with training, weapons and ammunition. RIA quoted the prosecutor as saying Hubbard was captured by Russian soldiers on April 2 that year, just weeks after Moscow had started its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. It is unclear how he ended up in Moscow.

English teacher
Hubbard is one of at least 10 Americans behind bars in Russia, nearly two months after a prisoner swap on August 1 between Moscow and the West saw the release of three Americans and dozens of others.

A spokesperson for the US Embassy in the Russian capital said in a statement last week that it was aware that one of its citizens had been detained, referring to Hubbard, but declined to comment further.

Originally from Big Rapids, Michigan, Hubbard worked for decades as an English teacher abroad, including in Japan and Cyprus, his sister said.

Fox added that her brother had lived with a Ukrainian woman for a time, surviving on a small pension. When she last spoke to him, he had split from his partner and was living alone, she said.

Fox said she had received little information about her brother’s status for months until a video surfaced online.

The video, posted to YouTube in May 2022 by an account with just more than 100 followers, shows a bearded man in a brown sweater sitting facing the camera and answering questions from an off-camera interviewer, who speaks with accented English.

It is unclear where and when it was filmed, but Fox identified the man as her brother.

In the video, the man says he understands why Russian President Vladimir Putin sent troops into Ukraine and expresses hope that the war will end soon.

There's all sorts of NATO members on the ground over there. Pulled out of Afghanistan and Iraq and we're losing our touch without shooting people. I love America, but we're the biggest killing machine on the planet via proxy, mercenaries, or actual invasion. If we don't keep the machine well oiled it starts to break down.

This never ends. We all know it. Maybe Russia and Ukraine get a cease fire deal. Something else will flare up on the planet like it already is in Israel. And for some reason we're always involved. It's like watching a boxing match and the ref is the legit boxer and knocks both out. We need to stop being the ref.

Just How Many Baby Boomers Are There?

Data from the U.S. Census Bureau show that there are 76.4 million baby boomers.

There were actually a total of 76 million births in the United States from 1946 to 1964, the 19 years usually called the “baby boom.” Of the 76 million baby boomers born, nearly 11 million had died by 2012, leaving some 65.2 million survivors. However, when immigrants are included (the number of people coming into the United States from other countries, minus those moving the other way), the number grows to an estimated 76.4 million because immigrants outweighed the number of baby-boomer deaths. The flow of immigrants greatly increased after passage of the Immigration Act of 1965, just as the baby boom was ending.

So one can use the figure 76.4 million (or round it down to 76 million) to approximate the number of baby boomers living in the U.S. today. But keep in mind that of the 76 million babies were born in the United States during the baby-boom years (1946 to 1964), only 65.2 million of those babies were still alive in 2012, and the baby-boom age group (ages 50 to 68 in 2014) stood at 76.4 million in 2012 with immigrants included in the count.
