Theres a lot of truth here. Some of their economics are kind of bad as well. A rising working age population could have helped them recover, but with it dropping theres going to be a lot of pressures that I just cant see it ending well for them.

It kinda worries me as those sorts of things.....its often easier to blame outside forces and encourage wars to deflect attention from internal problems.

I hate to say this; but, I think you're onto something there. Look at Russia and Ukraine: Russia doesn't have that many young dudes to throw away in 2014.
