Day 603
War at a decade's notice
"Let a European war break out—the war, perhaps, between the Triple Alliance and the Triple Entente, which so many journalists and politicians in England and Germany contemplate with criminal levity. If the combatants prove to be equally balanced, it may, after the first battles, smoulder on for thirty years. What will be the population of London, or Manchester, or Chemnitz, or Bremen, or Milan, at the end of it?1"
What will Ukraine’s population be in 2025? When I arrived in early 1991, it was 52 million. Now it’s less than 40. Maybe we’ll bottom out in the low 30s, depending on what will happen next.
Does anyone remember Day 4?
