The Russian crude birthrate is 11 per 1000 making it one of the lowest birth rates in the world. It sits in the bottom third with only third-world countries below it.*
It has been in decline since the 1990s (suffering a negative growth between 2003 and 2010) and now holds a climbing median age of 40 while the U.S.A. median age is 38. (And yes the US holds a low birthrate as well, 12 per 1000.)
India's crude birthrate is 18 per 1000. Remembering that figure needs to be extrapolated exponentially.
If you factor in the loss of Russian youth from this current war, it's seems Russia's role in producing the next generation of great fighters is quite unlikely. Their numbers are disminishing.
The worldwide median age is 30.
* Except China where the rate was squashed by legislation. (10.5 per 1000.)Comment

India is perhaps the least athletic nation relative to the size of it poplutaion. Look at the Olympics history. In boxing the nation seldom produces any heavyweight boxers that turn pro, let alone any top 20 ranked heavyweights.
Both the Russia and China have declining birthrates.Comment

sounds messed up, but 3rd and 4th gen communism is a population of well bred obedient AND happy citizens (as far as a citizen goes). The police donâÃÂÃÂt even need to carry guns half the time. It still might not sound cool, but from an economic standpoint it is, its one man controlling an obedient population, with his own currency (a la caesar and his coin).
should be interesting to watch us get smacked around. Hopefully no nukes go off, I doubt it.Last edited by them_apples; 02-12-2023, 06:05 PM.Comment

not if they serve for a few years and join the ranks of boxing afterwards. Whats so difficult of that to suspect? How backwards do you think russia is? Just massacring all its man power like its ww2? Implementing communism was in its early stages in world war 2, communism is a breeding strategy to simplify it for you, its brilliant and sick at the same time. Stalin, purposely was killing off his own soldiers to speed up the breeding process (russia has always had the power to tell its women to bear children, its all apart of the russian steamroller.) right now, a decree and benefits program is out in russia for women to bear children. Russia has had to rapidly repopulate before (As far back as the mongols they were having populations decimated). Theres a reason Stalin is described to âthink in decadesâ. A genius but absolute damaged sick man, certainly the worst of europe, far worse than Hitler as an individual if going by modern catholic influenced morals.

us as in the west.
specifically not the USA because they will opt out of the engagement with russia and focus more on china. Not sure who wins that, or what type of engagement it would even be. Not all battles are: heres all my best **** vs yours. Even in the roman times battlefield strategy was still about focusing all your power on one small point of the enemies. Numbers, tech, battlefield objectives, terrain and economics all play roles. The fantasy of what a war with china or russia looks like to the average us or can citizen is very far fetched. The usa was totally unprepared for war. Its easy to see
germany is reluctant to give ukraine tanks because it is desperately restructuring for war and it knows this time the usa will be occupied with china, not japan. Thats some series mustard to content with. China at least has little experience in assaulting, it is a defensive creeping nation that dominates trade. The usa has shown some steve jobs type ramshackle cunning war tactics, thats our one good thing we got going.
when you hear about battlefield victories within whichever history you are being given, the victors are almost always talking about a situation where the winner had a strategic advantage, overwhelming local superiority or vice versa. And many other intangibles because men are mortal, and hunger/sleep plagues us.
when people talk about wars with russia and china, defeat would come economically, and politically. Russia and china both have a better current government than we do. We are split and damaged, fighting amongst eachother like the khans did. Such is the cycle. Europe is old and has history however, Im sure germany will rear its head in some way out of all this. And the usa is gonna go through some serious politics if war breaks out, if it wants to stay relevant, that is. We cant count ourselves out I suppose, but ****s got to get bad before it gets good.Last edited by them_apples; 02-14-2023, 11:46 AM.Comment
