@WeThePeople I hate it when population decreases are framed this way. The economy can adjust, but overpopulation is destroying the planet.
@WeThePeople Shortages of food, and especially water, cause wars.
If Russia has a shortage of employable people, there are plenty of refugees from the Middle East and Africa that they could bring in.

They despise their non-Caucasian citizens, which explains why they draft men from the Asian plains to fight in Ukraine.
Putin would never let a flood of non-Caucasian immigrants just flood into Russia willy nilly
