The Russian slavonic population is falling due to a low birth rate and emigration of skilled middle class workers (and their families).

I’ve seen a report that the population will be down by 30% by 2050. Any immigration is from eastern former soviet union muslim states.

If Putin could have taken Ukraine not only would it give him a huge amount of rich farmland and industry but increase his slavonic population by 40 million.

As for the US dollar, I don’t know.

If anyone has savings, banks are useless, keep just enough money available for emergencies in the bank, keep money at home incase cash machines crash, spend the rest on your preps. Get what you need or want now, while you can get it and afford it.

It’s to late now to buy gold as I suggested (in 2018) as a hedge to inflation as the price is now sky high.
