Hypothetically, if there are global elites that want to reduce the population. One effective way would be to pretend to be in a serious conflict with China and then have China halt all exports of medicine for a year. The resulting casualties would be astronomical. Mostly costly pensioners. Maybe have a few battles and bombings to dazzle the average news consumer. Then just end it with a string of negotiation talks and agreements so the young strong workers can come home from the battlefield and go back to work. ***COUGH COUGH*** Sorry I blacked out for a minute, uhm, Putin is a bad man!
