Russian authorities have chosen a bizarre way to express their gratitude to the mothers of soldiers killed in the war in Ukraine, gifting them meat grinders and flowers for International Women’s Day.

Ultimate trolling move, but morally bankrupt. Any cleverness is lost by the sheer savagery, heartlessness.

The meat grinders should be gathered up en masse, broken up for weaponization, & used as shrapnel in powerful bombs. Return to sender, because fuck that.

It's even worse: They weren't gifts to Ukrainian mothers, Russia gave them to their own.

That's far more fucked than a troll gift to 'the enemy'.

Took their sons, forced them into a figurative meat grinder for a needless war, then gave them literal meat grinders as souvenirs...

😱 Sick fucks. This is the American in me talking, but it sounds like damn near revolution time.
