The entire nonsensical Ukraine fiasco keeps rearing its barren head. So what?
The entire Europe-Ukraine issue must be addressed from whatever the goal is. No, that goal is not obvious. Nor is the issue about money to defend them: Money for what? Defending … whom?
The purpose of ensuring the freedom of a national populace is to ensure their free future. Ukraine’s total fertility rate (TFR) is 1.22 (2.1 is replacement), ranking it 224 out of 227 countries. Now it’s killed off an entire generation … the childbearing generation. And bearing children is exactly not what they’ve been doing.
Not one country in Europe believes in their future enough to populate it. Anyone defending Europe will be sending their kids to protect the future of populations not caring about that future.
Europe doesn’t just need to spend more money for its own defense. It needs to raise its own children… or defending it is a fool’s errand.
Sending our kids - or the tax dollars that should be supporting our free, educated and prosperous future - to die for the future of barren nations gives the word “absurd” entirely new meaning.
Now let’s discuss the TFR of Taiwan (0.81, 226 out of 227), and South Korea (0.79, 227 out of 227).
Rather than focusing on defending countries for a future they refuse to populate, anyone interested in the rights and freedoms that uniquely exist within Western Civilization needs to be changing the culture of those countries to be family-phillic, not the family-phobic generations we have now.
For there is zero point in spending lives and money “defending” barren wastelands that once housed the most advanced civilization ever known.
Only populations bearing children are worthy of defending. Without kids, their population greys to become a burden, a retired country lacking the workers and taxes to support itself, becoming a parasitic burden on itself, and of no value to anyone else, until it expires.
Defending barren nations is absurd.
