Nations that have untapped natural resources and plenty of geographic advantages have not yet reached population saturation, and should continue to grow to maximize productivity, tax revenues, and development.

Furthermore, geopolitically, this is ultimately a numbers game.  Russia's population has been steadily shrinking and Ukraine's population has been steadily growing; this has led to a dramatic shift and imbalance in geopolitical power between the two, and it was one of the many factors that led Vladimir Putin to elect to invade this year.  Because by next year, he'd lose the geopolitical capability to launch an invasion and sustain it against the Ukrainian people.  But because Ukraine had continued growing, developing, and expanding - especially after 2014 - Russia encountered a far more developed, populous, and capable opponent.

This should be a good reminder of how, at the end of it all, it does come down to numbers.
