“Russian population decreases by 555,332 in 2022”

Sound like Ukraine is doing MUCH BETTER than some people claim.

The United States Growth rate last year was the lowest in history (.56%), and approaching 0%. No wonder the Establishment are letting so many illegals in.

The USA’s population growth, especially post-covid, would be the same (ie.negative) as Russia’s, if not for migration (legal and illegal)

Two countries choosing different paths, one inward and nationalist, the other expansionist and globalist - and the latter can not abide the former.

Do you ever wonder why, especially Post-Trump, America’s borders were thrown WIDE-OPEN?

Does that count the million who fled and the 100k killed in the invasion?

Maybe they are moving from St.Petersburg to St. Petersburg (FL).

I wonder if the Islamic parts of the country are growing? How long until the crescent moon sits on the Kremlin.

If that’s the official number, I wonder what the real number is?

Colonel Macgregor, with the exception of his statement on Solzhenitsyn, basically confirms what I was preaching for many years. No, not that Washington is incompetent--this has been a fait accompli for decades now--but that the US is incapable to take on Russia militarily.

Video at link

But even the title by Judge Napolitano is somewhat misleading: U.S. Not Prepared to take on Russia. The US is not just "not prepared", it cannot physically fight Russia without sustaining catastrophic defeat even if it spends next 30 years preparing for that fight. For starters, the US de-industrialization and societal ills permanently removed it from the largely self-proclaimed status of hegemon. The US will remain an important and influential country if it manages to keep itself intact (if), but, as I already stated, culturally the United States is not a continental military power. I deliberately used the all encompassing, history too, term "culturally", because military affairs of the nation are rooted in culture.

A short, in historic terms, departure of Russia from her position as a conventional military superpower in 1990s and 2000s was not due to America's military power which defeated Russians at the battlefield, it was largely due to self-inflicted wound and corruption of CPSU ruling elite, who fast refashioned itself into "liberal" democrats and formed anti-national oligarchy. This time has long since passed. Now, that the military-industrial might of Russia is being increasingly revealed, I have to go along with Colonel's assessment that Washington is simply preparing an excuse that "we did all we could". There is nothing the United States can send to 404, short of transferring US nuclear deterrent to Kiev regime, that can make any difference in the outcome of SMO. So, listen to Colonel and Judge and enjoy, if you will.
