All by himself?
Mr. Medvedev, the father of one child, said two will not do. It must be three.That's rich.
Hey, why don’t we send a whole bunch of folks to Russia! For example, much of the populations of Detroit, Oakland, Chicago, Trenton, St. Louis, Baltimore, Columbus.....
Why don’t they just outlaw abortion?
Due to the post-communist economic collapse, there may not be enough fertile age women for Russia to maintain its population size.
They all became Mail Order Brides in New Jersey..
Clarion call to Bill Clinton
“Mr. Medvedev also called for a Russia without orphanages. He said Russian families should adopt Russian children.”
Fine words. Why doesn’t Medvedev go first and set an example. Meanwhile millions of kids languish in institutions as despised outcasts of inferior parentage (in the Russian mind). And nationalists like Medvedev huff and puff and stall on letting foreigners adopt them.
In fact Medvedev- let’s see you adopt a child of mixed race from your country’s orphanage system.
(crickets)
Maybe they can adopt female Chinese babies.
Don't even think about it Boris.
But Natasha, Vlad says it's our patriotic duty!
Allow immigrants from Islamic countries. The population will explode. Oh, wait.
I believe Russia is not only facing a declining population but an increasing percent of Muslims in that declining population.
More vodka?
Who knew Russia had the same size population as Mexico.
If they hadn’t killed so many of them off in the last century...
Communism spent 70+ years destroying the family, destroying trust in society, destroying religious faith, while promoting materialism above all else. And they think a proclamation from the President and some tax breaks are going to fix the problem of generational suicide?
Let’s talk again in 2050.
Meanwhile, Western civilization is birth controlling, aborting, and immigrating itself out of existence.
I may not be a fan of Mr. Putin’s but he is spot on right about this subject.
Send him our illegal aliens. And Detroit.
People who have no hope, don’t want children to be born into a terrible society. This was the original reason Russia’s birth rate dropped and is probably the reason it is still dropping.
During those 20 years (and the 20 before it), the U.S. has had an explosion of unchecked third-world immigration, legal and illegal.
The USSR is what happens when a Fourth World country has access to unlimited supplies of vodka.
No communists and no babushkas. Those are my two bugaboos.
