I get that, but that is also sort of the point. The next guy is also going to move some money from military projects into his own pocket. It will just be a different guy.

This is not about corruption. Everybody knows Russian officals are corrupt, including the Russians themself. It is part of the pearks. The reason they trial him, is to get rid of him for whatever reason.

Putin needs Saudi Arabia to not start an oil price war, which Russia would loose.

The US support of Israel is making the US less popular around the world.

A government is not a union.

The rebellion is mostly demographics. We are at a point, where globalization reached most countries. At the same time births are around 138million ± 5milliion since 40 years. China itself even has population decline.

The problem is Hungary. Orban transferred ownership of the government share of the oil and gas company MOL to non profits. Those finance his own propaganda and support far right groups across Europe. Obviously the oil and gas comes cheaply from Russia.

So vetoes from Hungary all the way.

People are always born with the same age namely 0, but they do not all die at the same age. In fact getting older increases chances of death. Hence 2 babies per mother ends up in a pyramid too.

Even if you presume people all die at the same age, things will be stable. If say people all get childten at 30 and only work between 30-60 and then all die at 90. If we then assume 1 child per couple and everybody has a child at 30, we would get a stable dependency ratio of 2.5 dependents per worker. Obviously those numbers are not realistic. Btw that also is not a pyramid, but a trapezoid.

It is not an inverse pyramid though. The older humans are the more likely they die. So you always and up with a pyramide at the top, at least somewhat. With low birth rates a society has to care for fewer children. That results in an actually fairly stable ratio of working age population to dependents.

A shrinking population also means build infrastructure is already built. They just have to keep things running.

They currently elect leaders to a board of directors using what seems like a more complex system to allow for different groups to have a say in it.

Intresstingly countries like Italy, UK, France and Spain have stronger regional inequality divides then Germany.

Power to control women and force them to have sex with you. A bit like rape, but less crude.

It was in a port and got hit with a missile.

To be fair so has the downfall of western society.
