Скажите, как там Арсений Яценюк? Банки, в которых он держит свой хорошо заработанный миллиард, не являются американскими банками случайно ? )))

Nobody is going to attack Venezuela and if they did, going from Brazil across the jungle makes no sense at all. It would be from Columbia and from the sea.

The likelihood of VZ army to die to keep in power the man that steals from all of them... this isn't very likely IMO.

The fact that Guaido was able to return to Caracas today tells you how powerful Maduro is.
I have heard little of the Veneruelan army in general and Western propaganda about defecting carries little weight with me.

You are correct about attacking through jungle terrain. Just don't do it.

Gaidodo got back into the country with the help in interference of other powers. We know who they are. The ones that have the best interests of the people in mind without a doubt.

Gaidodo has power? If he did he would have come in the front door. Not the side window.

Venezuela has some punch, if it is good shape which I don't know. A lot of the kit they have isn't very good for jungle warfare.

Russia Will Be One-Third Muslim in 15 Years, Chief Mufti Predicts

Around 30 percent of the Russian population will practice Islam within the next 15 years, Russia’s grand mufti has predicted, citing demographic trends.

Various estimates place the current Muslim population in Russia at between 14 million and 20 million people, or between 10 to 14 percent of Russia's total population of 146.8 million in 2018.

“According to experts, Russia’s [Muslim] population will increase to 30 percent in a decade and a half,” said Ravil Gainutdin, the chairman of the Council of Muftis, a religious group representing Russia’s Muslim community.

The changing demographics mean that “dozens” of new mosques will need to be built in Russia’s largest cities, Gainutdin said at a forum hosted by the State Duma on Monday.

Archpriest Dmitry Smirnov, an official in Russia’s Orthodox Church, agreed with Gainutdin’s forecast and predicted that “there won't be any Russians left in 2050.”

“It’s too late,” he told the Govorit Moskva radio station when asked if the demographic trend could be reversed.

Is this the information you've been looking for, but missed?



"A report by the U.S. Census Bureau projects a decrease in the ratio of Whites between 2010 and 2050, from 79.5% to 74.0%.[75] At the same time, Non-Hispanic Whites are projected to no longer make up a majority of the population by 2042, but will remain the largest single ethnic group. In 2050 they will compose 46.3% of the population. Non-Hispanic whites made up 85% of the population in 1960.[76]
The report foresees the Hispanic or Latino population rising from 16% today to 30% by 2050, the Black percentage barely rising from 12.9% to 13.1%, and Asian Americans upping their 4.6% share to 7.8%. The United States had a population of 310 million people in October 2010, and is projected to reach 400 million by 2039 and 439 million in 2050.[17][77][78][79] It is further projected that 82% of the increase in population from 2005 to 2050 will be due to immigrants and their children.[80]
Of the nation's children in 2050, 62% are expected to be of a minority ethnicity, up from 44% today. Approximately 39% are projected to be Hispanic or Latino (up from 22% in 2008), and 38% are projected to be single-race, non-Hispanic Whites (down from 56% in 2008).[81] Racial and ethnic minorities surpassed non-Hispanic whites as the largest group of American children under 5 years old in 2015.[82]"

Quit worry about Russia, and who said what over there...

What does any of this have to with what he said? Since when were ethnicities and religion the same thing? A person can change their religion but not their ethnicity.

There is very little support for Maduro. How do you expect him to be able to run a country when he can’t even get the approval of an engineer like myself?

Ahh whataboutism, the crutch of Russians who deflect bad truths about their country. Well you could look at it this way, the USA will around 2050 be 3 times the people of Russia while Russia ethnics become a minority in their own country. But hey, thousands of them move to the USA each month too so I guess they are doing their part haha.

It does not say about the change of religion. It refers to the increase in the Muslim population.

He is saying one thing, but mean the other.
Just in case you are not aware of his trend to diss Russia for not being as "white and European" as Ukraine. That's what it's all about.

Muslims ( and Islam in Russia) on another are not of the same "brand" as they are in the US ( i.e. not of the Middle-Eastern/North African decent,) so they are not as troublesome, with notable exception of the Chechens.

However the majority of Russians arriving to the big Russian cities, are coming from the former republics of

the Central Asia. So not a big deal, as far as "Islam" goes.
