Resurgent global power? NOT!
but up in poisonings?

Robert Heinlein predicted something like this way back.
He and his wife visited the Soviet Union and noticed the lack of population (and baby carriages) back then
Anyone remember the article?
Lots of Russian livers exploding thanks to all that antifreeze being sold as vodka.
Russia, where Russians are sent to die.
If they had a little more emphasis on the individual, they might have an in-migration from the west to close the gap.
Woo, hoo, the Russians ain’t coming!
Russia’s largest problem is its people have lost faith in their future. They have no hope. They see their Muslim neighbors having up to 10 kids per woman and China sending millions of its citizens into the Eastern half of the country and KNOW it is only a matter of time before they will disappear as a people. No amount of financial incentive is going to overcome that gloominess. Millions of ethnic Russians are abandoning the “frontier lands” and moving to the ethnic Russian population centers, giving defacto control of millions of square miles of land to non-Russians.
China will annex the eastern portion within 15 years if demographic trends continue the way they are and Muslims will probably try to seize the nation as their numbers turn to the majority of the armed forces within 10 years.
Either scenario is frightening but Russians are paralyzed because the only way to prevent their extinction and current supremacy over others is by a violent spasm. The longer they wait the worse it’ll be for them.
We should look and observe Russia carefully because that is our future if we lose hope and lack the courage to do what’s right regardless of the consequences.
This is the effects of Abortion...
Russia needs to criminalize abortion in order to survive.
These numbers are actually quite better than in the recent past. The net loss has been cut in half from what it was a few years back when the population was dropping 700K a year.
Mark Steyn recently laid all the data out in his 2006 book, “America Alone.” A great read; try it, you’ll like it.
Give it time.
When was that Putin-sponsored day of “love”?
Has it been 9 months yet?
Russian male life expectancy is 3rd worldish at under 59.
Russia is in an unrecoverable downward spiral. Decades of antagonism toward the sanctity of life have come home to roost.
Death-spiral demographics seem to me the perfectly chosen result for a society that condones abortion as a casual form of contraception, and has done so for the past 50+ years...
