The issue of low global birthrates and aging populations, which has been a subject of much discussion and anxiety lately, also has great consequences for the future of warfare.
The other thing we’ve seen is Russia in particular recruiting additional fighters from more populated and usually poorer countries from Cuba to North Korea.
If we apply enough pressure the resources of Ukraine can fall into the hands of their creditors as killing off the remaining young Ukrainians will restore mobility to claims on their resources, Dead Men file no Torts.
Post-war Ukraine certain to be bought out by European agritech, rebuilt by South Asian construction workers, its cities diversified by the Global South. The locals will be kept in line by Sepoys, Gurkhas and Mamelukes under contract to Girlboss security contractors. Kiev will finally be absorbed into Europa
Would suggest parallels with the Ottoman, British and Nazi experience of migration flows, but there is no need to do that.
The depopulation of the Ukraine demonstrates the great wisdom of Trumpian foreign policy. No more expeditionary forces, managed conflicts and alliances led by committees. War by air, blockade etc all supplemented by the occasional raid to count geopolitical coup. Europe is not worth the bones of Florida Man.
Maybe Africa will become a major recruiting ground for front line troops (in MOS-es like rifleman, machinegunner), while specialist roles and logistics will be taken by locals?
