Russia's population is shrinking fast, its economy is in free fall, it's at war with its neighbors, the rule of law is essentially nonexistent, local and regional governments are dominated by strongmen, corruption is universal and the economy is significantly smaller than Italy's. The public health infrastructure is in a state of collapse, drug use and HIV are widespread, alcoholism almost universal. Yeah, lets be them.

White populations in the West are declining as well, especially proportionately to non-white population. Higher drug use and shorter life spans among working-class whites is startling. Death rates from alcohol have tripled among white women in the past 20 years. OTOH, Christian church participation in Russia is increasing while in U.S. decreasing.

But frankly, if you're neocon non-Christian living in Bethesda or Upper East Side, you don't have much sympathy for working-class Christians, whether in Moscow, Idaho or Moscow, Russia.

Ping me when alcoholism rates and life expectancy in Russia and the United States reach parity.
