#1 Far worse for Ukraine. Millions of Ukrainians moved to Russia. Population abyss for Japan and USA. Putin has incentivized marriage and births several years ago. While here transgender notions are encouraged and abortion.

#2 Partially why Putin tried his hand in Ukraine. It was either take a bad option now, or do nothing and watch while his country withers away. In a few years there won't be enough young men to staff the army.

Europe is about the same. They stopped having children, and will die out. It will take a while, 50-100 years, but it will happen. Correction, it has already happened. It's not reversible.

/\ The birth control pill is having it's desired effect, at least in some countries. Replacement people are urgently needed.

Demographic suicide? But the dividends are great! Thank you big Pharma & big Gov't.

#5 ^ seems that may be an expanding market unless those wanting a cut send them to work the brothels in Thailand.

Maybe to Pakistan or China. Russians seem to be toxic to the West at the moment. Good luck getting a flight into Russia or not ending up hostage to trade for a spy. Wouldn't want to be a westerner in Russia with the level of vitriol broadcast day and night on Russian TV and radio.

A 1.2M births/year over time means fewer than 100 million Russians later. Minus the ones they waste on conquest and the ones chased out of the country.
