That's a very good point. By summer they'll stop off in Poland for the football so we can feel safe till autumn?

My post begins with Putins comments yesterday.
Putin warns ethnic tensions risk tearing Russia apart | Reuters

In a newspaper article and an address in southern Russia, Putin used the danger of ethnic discord to call for limits on electoral reforms.

In it he says



The article states



I am a regular reader of a US Jewish commentator who styles himself "Spengler", he is a contributor to the Asia Times.

He has made some excellent points in the past about Russias demographic future.

Mainly that:

• Its possible within a short space of time Russia will be a muslim majority European country which will possess a large nuclear arsenal.
• Massive ethnic russian depopulation in the near future.

Its looks stark and I dont believe Europe will be that far behind, the low birth rate in all European peoples in a major concern for all of us.

He goes on to predict a "Hudna" or movement towards an alliance between the Third Rome and the Islamic world, perhaps we are seeing the start of that with Russias growing association with Iran.

He's not helping the easing of ethnic tensions. What an eejit.

Whatever he is, Putin is not an eejit. He's facing a presidential election in two months and these remarks would be made as part of his efforts to paint himself as a uniter. Notice his likening of nationalism to a disease.

Vladimir Putin ridiculed after demanding Russians have more sex to halt declining population | Mail Online

The tone of the article is stupid but the content is important: the demographic collapse of Russia.

Russians to start having more sex to put a stop to the country's declining population.

In one of his more controversial presidential election campaign pledges, Putin vowed to give cash incentives to mothers who have a third child, to help encourage more births.

Since Putin first came to power in 2000 the population has decreased by 2.5 million Russians so the Prime Minister has made increasing the country's birth rate through Government incentives one of his key election pledges.

He vowed to offer more free kindergarten places, cheaper housing, and a £140 a month benefit bonus to mothers who have a third child, in a bid to boost the population size to 154million people.

Russians dont need to have more sex, they need to stop aborting their children before they are born.
