More interesting Putin news, and I can’t find a reason to criticize this.

Putin was born a Communist and totalitarian. I highly doubt that it is in his DNA to give the Russian people, local communities, non-governmental organizations and the Orthodox Church real freedom and power, which would could overcome the culture of death that has existed in Russia for the last 100 years.

The fact that he thinks he can tinker with subsidies and tax-benefits and automatically produce more children is proof of his thinking.

No, they will not. Neither will the United States. The experiment in which government replaces the family, whether it’s called “Communism” or “a social safety net,” is a failure. Like the Children of Israel leaving Egypt, it will take at least a full generation for the lessons to be assimilated.

The old, now, will suffer most, and in the long run (in which we are all dead, as the cheerful economist said) something new will emerge.

Well, if that doesn’t work then they’ll resort to ethnic cleansing.

Russians hate Muslims, and will resort to genocide rather than let the Muslim and Turkic minorities overtake them.

They aren’t politically correct, after all it was a psychological weapon they invented to use against the West.

Putin loves Russia, he sees a bigger picture and the threats Russian faces and tries ot do something about it rightly or wrongly.

Look at the fairy we have, the metrosexual Chicago layabout who has only got where he is through cheating, rigged elections and his readical pals plus his color.
Our so called leader is a fairy, loves his anus feces poking pals, wants more killing babies, puts the future of out country into debt and wants to destroy what made the country great , oh and make sure white man is a minority by the time he has finished.

Putin is a guy, thinks guys should be guys, women shoudl be women, tries to make the country stronger and he has, protects what Russia is and keep traditions etc, tells the pansies at the UN to piss off and they do.

Putin must laugh his balls off at the tulip picker we have

After Beslan, the Russians don’t care too much about the rights of Muslims.

Earlier this week there was a thread saying that for the first time in
Many years the birthdate exceeded the death rate
.
That could mean thT the old people have died off to thepoimt of reaching a Susstaijable living level

The difference was notl thT great but it was

I think the Russians are out of time.

China with its huge population and need for water is quietly moving into Siberia through migratory farming on leased Russian land. I expect that the Russian East will become China North by attrition in a few decades.

Despite the friendly economic cooperation between Russia and China now, the sheer demographics will play a huge part.

“Approximately six million people live in the entire Russian Far East (Eastern Siberia), while more than 90 million Chinese live in China’s northern provinces. Only about 40,000 to 75,000 of these live in the Russian Far East (although, since reliable statistics are difficult to come by, this number might actually be larger). Siberia seems an ideal place for China to relieve some of the population pressure and overcrowding. Moreover, most experts estimate that between 50 and 70 million Chinese peasants lack adequate agricultural lands of the type that can be found in Russia in former collective farms, where the Russians themselves are now reluctant to work.”

Putin loves Russia and has an affinity for Slavic peoples

This seems to be the case from the actions that Putin takes.

These news stories seem to reflect well on Putin even though most of the western press hate him and try to demonize him like they do the American right.

Russia has a difficult recovery ahead and has a better chance if we will just keep ourselves saddled with Zer0 and the Marxist DemoRat leftist slime coalition.

We will reduce our ability to compete and we will allow economic openings for Russia to exploit.

Also, the other economic players will not be on our side, Europe wants America just to pay their debts, Africa the same. Eastern Europe will align entirely with Russia, we can't protect them OR bully them anymore because of the new Russia.

China is the new boss, and the boss makes the rules. The US will see permanent UN Security Council vetoes from here on out. The Arabs will be happy as long as we pay astronomically for their oil and be unpaid mercenaries for their Caliphate.

You're right, Putin must really be enjoying this, our Socialists have come home to roost.

Godless societies do not reproduce. They have no hope for the future.

Russia can recover, provided they re-adopt the values that allows for love of children and population growth. It may take them having to lose half their population before that happens, but it can be done.

Well, that's true, in a way. Starting from a much lower baseline, Russians could become a growing ethnic group again. The same could be said of Japan. Although we say that no society has ever recovered from the kind of demographic decline we're presently seeing, that's not, in most cases, because the ethnicity completely disappears. It's because someone else fills the void.

If what we now call "Russians" or "Japanese" are reduced in number by half or more, what we now call "Russia" and "Japan" isn't going to remain unpopulated forever. In the long run, a demographically healthy group will move in.
