The War In Ukraine is Revealing Something Scary About Our Future

Population Next

What happens when nations run out of soldiers to fight their wars but still choose to wage them? This is the reality we're facing today as shrinking populations collide with growing geopolitical tensions, particularly in Ukraine and Russia. As both countries grapple with devastating losses in manpower, technology has stepped in to reshape modern warfare.

In this inaugural episode, I explore how the combination of demographic collapse and radical technological acceleration is transforming the battlefield. As birth rates plummet, drones, AI, and automation are becoming the soldiers and strategists of the future.

It's clear that the evolution of warfare will be defined by the speed and sophistication of machines, not the number of soldiers on the ground. But will this technological shift make conflict more or less likely? Join me in exploring this and more insights on the intersection of shrinking populations and the future of global conflict.

In This Episode:

- The collision between warfare and demographic change

- The cost of war in human lives

- The impact of Russia's brain drain and low birth rates

- How technology and AI are taking over the battlefield
