Wtf am i reading. Making them gay isnt even a stab at anyone, its just a weird thing to add.
You're not the target audience. They're trying to stir up the homophobes, for whom "gay" is very much a stab.
Exactly. For them „gay“ is short for „evil, satanic pedophile“.
That's a really shitty acronym on their part.
It must lose something in translation.
That's ESP... wow, the gay soldiers are even more super than I thought.
Yeah it's really not on brand with their usual message about how gay men are going to cause the fall of western civilization by being all feminine and weak something something cultural marxism...
I think the toxic masculinity has started feeding on itself like a snake eating it's own tail.
Now I'm motivated to work out...
Other posters have already mentioned it, but the idea of using homosexuality as means to produce super-soldiers is tried-and-true, and goes way, way back:

So, even taking Putin's ridiculous claim at face value, it still just boils down to Russia's soldiers being inadequate compared to Ukraine's.
Putin needs to create an enemy to tell the Russian people he's protecting them from.
