      The current number is about 8 births per 1000 people. It is pretty low, but could be lower.

      Puerto Rico is being robbed by the US, so young people leave and the ones who stay are too poor to have children.

      No offense, but I think Moscow Times has better access to secret (true) data, the fact that the published result is not trustworthy doesn’t mean russia doesn’t have a real number. They (the russians I mean) are known for having obsessive amounts of information about all kinds of things.

    You mean killing a lot of your men has a consequence. Putin telling women to have 8 babies might have been for a reason.

    I mean…what did they expect? Producing even more children for their military meat grinder? Njet, spasiba I guess.
