In recent weeks, we have been focusing on Greece, Germany, Ukraine and Russia. All are still burning issues. But in every case, readers have called my attention to what they see as an underlying and even defining dimension of all these issues -- if not right now, then soon. That dimension is declining population and the impact it will have on all of these countries.
