a quarter of a million of his county’s best young men; he’s scraping the barrel now for more to turn into hamburger. In two generations those quarter of a million would have been over a million young workers in his economy. Gone.
You can read about russian 90s too, and that’s what may happen again to us soon. This ‘country as a civilization’ would get nearly wiped out in a couple of generations, thanks to the most prominent supporter of this fascist idea.
I’m doubtful the war with NATO is probable too. Local population isn’t ready for it, they are completely occupied with this one war at their hand now. Rising them stakes to that level would not work for this administration. Even the deepest vatniks won’t be sure they can endure it.
Yet, I won’t be surprised of these stupid moves. And something in me wants to escalate this thing to the point it finally ends.
