According to the CIA world fact book 🕵️ (2021), below is a list of countries with shrinking populations and the number of years it will take for their populations to reach 50% of current levels.
These numbers are 👶 births/deaths 💀 only and do not include immigration (most of them have net emigration). To put the Ukraine war in the correct context… Eastern Europe was already collapsing , as these populations collapse it should be obvious that all of these countries will sooner or later be bankrupt. 🙇♂️
These countries have a combined GDP of $14 trillion 💸, their combined population today is 574 million. A Malthusian disaster is underway here.

On current trends, it will take just 30.6 years for the 574 million combined population of these countries to fall to 287 million, doubling their debt burden per capita… assuming zero future deficit spending. 😱
