More simple ignorance. The decline is tightly coupled to the reduction of the country by the external/internal forces. If you look at how abortions became normalized you can begin to understand the driving forces goals. The destruction of the family and family values was deployed, so naturally, but that is over 30 years ago so your data is garbage.

In 2008, the external forces fired up again, if you knew anything about reality this information would be available to you. So clearly based on external pressure our measuring analytics falls apart at this distance. (we read bad data)

However, they moved into building war machine at that time and as the evidence shows, it was money well spent.

So just like measuring GDP between USA and Russia reveals where the truth lies. USA GDP is inflated garbage, Russian GDP represents valuable goods and resources.

You are just mad cause the west is currently falling down and cannot get back up. While the east is exploding with value, pun intended.

Let's see how the western war machine fares in the next couple years.
