Hi Geopolitics Folk,
 
This Thursday we have our usual monthly meeting, starting at 1.45 at Admiral Rodney: 
 
Our main topic, starting around 2.45, will be led by Stuart:
 
Geopolitical implications of a falling fertility rate in developed nations
 
There are lots of videos on YouTube to watch which summarise the situation. Stuart has said these two are good and not too long for anyone wanting to get up to speed:

I’ve also posted a .pdf on our site giving my own introductory take (which you may or may not agree with!)
Other links which I think are useful include:

As Stuart has given apologies that he will be a little late, we will start with 1.45-2.30ish “Good News and Quick Fire Topics”. There is plenty going on, and I suspect we will all want to discuss the fall of Assad and the Syria situation, its Sednaya Prison, what to do with a bunch of Rolls, Lamborghinis and Ferraris and the currently vacated Russian air base and Naval port.  Other news we might cover – but please bring anything of interest to you -includes:
 
 
There is no shortage of other geopolitical news!  Here are a few links if anyone spots something to light fires:
