'Russia Is Weak and Has A Rapidly Aging and Shrinking Population'
In America, that used to be called 'gallows humor.'
This article lays out trends that over the coming ten years will have Russia so weakened economically that Russia would get its ass kicked in a way with either Hungary or Poland.
A time for jokes?
It's funny that Putin wants to make jokes with a Russian economy that is so shitty, the country will be getting its ass kicked in a war with either Poland or Hungary in ten or twenty years.
Now THAT'S funny!
