>>509188634 (OP)EU mean age is 40, Russia mean age is 45
EU has a population of 400 million people, Russia 150 million
EU's industrial capacity is much greater than Russia's, and the EU has more resources than Russia. It can import all the arab oil and outsource labor to India or Mexico to make a bazillion shells if there was a need to.
Russia's oil requires services from companies like Schlumberger to extract it, and western capital to fund the extraction. Without such services their production will drop slowly year after year.
Russians are fucking stupid. They should have annexed all of europe up to eastern Germany and russify it, they would have been speaking russian by now, and just shoot these protesters in 1991
