| #3 No civilization has ever come back from such a demographic collapse. Germany is dead. The coroner has ruled assisted suicide. Germans were persuaded that they didn't want to have children by the worst kind of cultural Marxist filth. Oh, it won't happen tomorrow. These things take time. Decades. But it will happen. Or more correctly, it has happened. |

| #2 The CIA World Factbook shows Age structure 0-14 years: 12.89% (male 5,302,850/female 5,025,863) 15-24 years: 9.81% (male 4,012,412/female 3,854,471) 25-54 years: 38.58% (male 15,553,328/female 15,370,417) 55-64 years: 15.74% (male 6,297,886/female 6,316,024) 65 years and over: 22.99% (2020 est.) (male 8,148,873/female 10,277,538) Population growth rate -0.11% (2022 est.) Total fertility rate 1.57 children born/woman (2022 est.) Compare to Russia: Age structure 0-14 years: 17.24% (male 12,551,611/female 11,881,297) 15-24 years: 9.54% (male 6,920,070/female 6,602,776) 25-54 years: 43.38% (male 30,240,260/female 31,245,104) 55-64 years: 14.31% (male 8,808,330/female 11,467,697) 65 years and over: 15.53% (2020 est.) (male 7,033,381/female 14,971,679) Population growth rate -0.22% (2022 est.) Total fertility rate 1.6 children born/woman (2022 est.) Russia appears to be doing almost as badly — if you believe the numbers they issue — plus now killing off their best young men in war in addition to shortened lifespans. |
