Even before the war in Ukraine, Russia was already suffering through the beginnings of a crisis. So in this video, we take a look at the key issues for Putin, how the war has exacerbated the situation and whether he can do anything about it.

    Glaring omission is your failure to mention every other Western nation is suffering from population decline…….except for those being swarmed with third world invaders.
    They count these interlopers as population as the years go by.
    Russia's population may have slowed, however the nation's average I.Q. hasn't been lowered by the influx of low I.Q. third worlders.
    Russia has recently opened their door to white South African farmers who're under threat of death from the savages who now control the government of that country.
    Several thousand SA farmers are now currently relocated to Russia and are building productive farms. They are welcomed by the Russia people and there's been no assimilation problems as seen in Western nations that're being invaded by third worlders who refuse to assimilate.
    Also, Putin has authorized large parcels of land to build community enclaves for people from countries who's native language is English.(America, England, Australia, New Zealand, etc.)
    Putin is being very selective who he allows into his nation, on the other hand, Western nations seem hellbent on turning themselves into Brazil.

  7. @Rowlph8888

    Yes, but Russia's economy is less labour-intensive. Their national debt is very low, so it's not a growth-based model. They still need similar numbers to before, so that they don't have to downscale, but nowhere near as much as some Western economies, e.g. USA, Britain and and Italy and France.
    Biggest problems for Italy, who have massive national debt and terrible demographics. Then Germany who have even worse demographics as they started 5 years earlier, but less national debt, but an economy with a lot of heavy manufacturing, requiring physically capable men

  8. @Rowlph8888

    March 5, 2024 at 1:41 pm

    Ultimately, no one can afford a war like this, in the 21st-century, due to the need for a larger population due to needing to grow to pay for last year, spending, and the year before, et cetera

    1:18 "if your country's fertility rate is below 2.1" Actually the "stable" number is 1, not 2.1 because multiplying any number by 1 will result in the same number, which is not the case with 2.1. Misleading info.

  13. @marshallc6215

    March 5, 2024 at 1:41 pm

    3:28 graphics like that are bad journalism. You should always be zero-referencing your data. If you're trying to show a trend on similar data, the bare minimum is to add an explicit break on the vertical axis so it becomes even more glaringly obvious that it's a different trend than one might cncclude by just looking at the graph

  14. @karrithebestlira3085

    March 5, 2024 at 1:41 pm

    so Putin knew he had a population demographic problem in 2019 and despite that has been starting regular conflicts anyways.

Since being elected, Meloni has had a major influence over the EU’s immigration policy, but the new Migration and Asylum Pact may have major consequences for Italy. So what exactly is in the new pact? And has Meloni’s hardline policy backfired?
