Before getting to the remarks in the video below, about “living through the greatest Western population bust in human history,” let me first bring attention to something I recently noticed.
While visiting Russia, there are several social factors exclusive to this nation. Some of the distinctions are relatively new, (resurgence of religion and faith supported by the state), and some of the developments have been taking place over a longer arc of history, (expanded national population, and family incentives supported by the state).

I think the life expectancy for men in Russia is 60. That means Russia is worse than Bangladesh. Combined with that, the war, and people fleeing the country, Russia will be done as a going concern in a generation.

"Expanding national population"???? I call BS. Russia has a far worse demographic decline than many countries of the west and the USA. And losing hundreds of thousands in the Ukraine war isn't helping.

Russia's birthrate is 1.7 births per woman - the USA's is 1.5. Both are way below the replacement rate of 2.1. Maybe in Russia the kids aren't hunkered down indoors in front of TV or computers.

Why do people insist that Russia's the bad guy?
There standard of living has been rising over the years.
Ukraine?
Suppose China claimed Mexico in its political & economic sphere of influence--and Biden wasn't president--what would you expect to happen?
What country set up an arrested 1000 protestors and continues to hold 300 citizens in third-world level prisons, thus confirming that an election was stolen?
What country controls and censors its media?
What country oppresses religious dissenters?
What country is at war with its own citizens?

Two nieces have two kids, one has five. Not everyone is not having kids in the USA.

Since Russia expelled the atheist Bolshies, that country has been embracing its Orthodox religion. It will take a generation or so to get back to normal for them. This does not mean that crooked politicians will suddenly see the light, but it has started. Humans! You gotta love 'em!

Re #7, that is a convenient Putin fairy tale. All the "church" people are 100% government employees, and historically have been all KGB, probably now FSB, employees.
In Russia, every church I attended, and I attended many, had ONLY people over 60 present. OTOH, I also attended services in Armenia, Georgia and Ukraine. In Ukraine the Catholic Church nearest out hotel was SRO every Sunday, and had lots of exuberant people and children.
Repeating news stories is very different from actually going to a country and visiting it over a decade, weeks and weeks at a time, traveling to many different cities, riding the subways, walking the parks and visiting the museums in addition to doing business there.
