Now that USAID money for sugar coated lies dried up, we’re all going to find a whole bunch of unheard before things about Ukraine that propagandists, Russian puppets and people that simply paid any attention knew all along.
About the demographic and economic collapse, generational levels of debt that is going to take 300+ years for Ukraine to pay off, which has has been used to fill up budget deficit holes up to 80% of its entire size.
About how all the land that Ukraine is bravely protecting for its own people having already been sold to western developers, and now they’re going to be selling the minerals too. Fighting to protect somebody else’s assets at this point.
About how 70% of Ukrainian refugees will never come back to Ukraine even after hostilities end and things normalize, because they are going to settle down and there’s no point coming back into a destroyed country with no infrastructure, ravaged by corruption, that is never getting out of the debt trap they got themselves in, and who doesn’t own its own land, resources and industrial base anymore.
And if they proceed with mobilizing 18 year olds they will be driving the final nail in their coffin, by killing of the only remaining breeding stock that could have any chance of repopulating the country, instead of their national identity quickly fading out due to being drowned and diluted by all of the migrants they’ll be planning to import from the Middle East to “rebuild things”.
Ukraine is, and has been on the fast track to national suicide. Now I’m not going to tell them what to do, they are a free and independent country and can decide for themselves. But maybe, just maybe, there would have been significantly less overall damage if this conflict was ended a lot earlier; even at the cost of some concessions.
On the flip side, you guys can always grab a gorgeous bride. The attitude can be a bit difficult (they usually have high financial expectations), but man, are they hot.
The title of this post is even more exaggerated than the article itself.
A country’s population is in decline during war? Well I could’ve told you that without any statistics.
Population went down 5 million since the war, according to one statistic (and consindering that the WaPo is obviously driving a narrative here, I have my doubts).
And let me tell you, as someone who lives in a country that has taken in lots of refugees: they are predominantly women and children.
But the most cynical part of the article is this:
>If demographic trends continue, Ukraine’s population is expected to be around 25 million by mid-century and just 15 million in 2100.
“Demographic trends”? Really?
