Russia’s Army Recruits Are Increasingly Older, Less Capable Men
The current state of Russia’s army recruits is causing quite a stir and for good reason. We are witnessing a troubling trend where older, less capable men are being recruited into the military, signaling a depletion of the younger, more physically fit population. This shift is not only a cause for concern but also sheds light on the strategic failings that are becoming more apparent within the Russian military.
Looking at the population pyramid, it is evident that Russia is well past the halfway point in terms of troop depletion. With reports surfacing of increased use of combatants from other countries, it paints a grim picture of the current state of affairs within the Russian military.… Continue reading
It’s no secret that Japan is facing a serious demographic crisis, with birth rates plummeting and the population rapidly aging.

This news may come as a surprise to some, as overpopulation has often been discussed as a pressing issue in many parts of the world. However, the reality is that population decline poses its own set of challenges.
