I understand it was not / is not your intent to make a big deal over your viewpoint on Russia. I am probably violently in agreement with most of what you posit. I would however, like to ask how the demographics might affect your assessment. Russia, not unlike many nations, has a demographic issue of few young people, more older people and is facing a potentially crippling decline in population. (Yes, okay, Ive been watching a few of Peter Dreizens videos) but Im wondering if the population issues might actually severely impact all of our projections regarding the future. Thoughts on that issue specifically?
