As Russian losses in Ukraine mount, Putin faces ‘devastating’ demographic timebomb

1. He dont give a f..k

2. Demographic time bombs unfortunately take decades to go off. Russia needs to implode much sooner than that.

3. “Ukraine’s population has declined by over 10 million since Russia first invaded in 2014 and fell to an estimated 37 million by January 2024”.

   Yikes.

4. Men killed and crippled in the war, economic hardship and the mass migration of skilled men out of the country are all contributing to the collapse in the birth rate and later, population.

   The cost of the war, high inflation, high interest rates, the loss of men, and the sanctions are destroying Russia’s economy.

5. What’s the quote? “Pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall”. Wisdom indeed.

6. >”Life expectancy for young men is on par with a fourth-world country. Life expectancy at age 15 for a Russian man right before the (COVID-19) pandemic was about the same as his counterpart in Haiti.”

   Putin had been president for decades by that time. I’m sure the Russians will remember him fondly…

7. Putin will be long dead and gone before that is a problem for Russia. One of the problems with Geriatrics running a country is they have little to lose in the long term.

8. Putin thoroughly enjoys experiencing Russia’s teeth getting kicked in further with each passing day! Russia and its culture are permanently destroyed!

9. Putin just seems to be completely isolated from reality. Russia already had serious demographic problems with a *declining* population (down from 145 million in 2019 to now 143 million). On top of that, people are fleeing the country so they don’t consripted, and people are getting killed and wounded.

10. Even though Russia lost thousands in Ukraine haven’t they gained millions from the territory they occupy?

11. Wish his time bomb would time bomb faster for all of humanity!
