Yes! Russia is the bogeyman that Democrats have used to distract the country from themselves, but it has the added consequence of distracting us from China, which I agree is the greater threat.

SSgt Christopher Brose - Just so you know, Chris.....I do enjoy our back and forth most of the time. You haven't changed my mind about much, but you do make me stop and think through my positions a great deal. And in the end, I know we both want what's best for our country.....we just have different ideas about how to achieve it.

I think you might have that a little overblown. By 2050 the United States is to have approx 500 million people and our population growth rate is 4-5 times faster than China, we are gaining rapidly and what is worse our Economy is a lot more stable. In about 10 more years India will exceed China in population.

Oh and Russia, the poor bastards, are actually declining already by -3.3% a year in population. Putin is trying to bribe Russian mothers to have more babies with cash payments. You know how the Russians look at anyone non-Russian, they have a real problem with immigration and with immigrants.

Jul 13, 2017 - A main contributor to the falling population growth rate is the decreasing fertility rate. The fertility rate has fallen from 3.7 in the 1960s to 1.9 today, leading to a lower natural increase in the US population (excess of births over deaths). Around the time of the recession, lower immigration rates also contributed ...
