energyplay, Russia can easily reverse(with a time lag of course) the population issue by giving tax credits, refunds or outright "helicopter money" for each child. Also, Russia has far more leverage, due to its energy exports, with the EU than vice versa. Russia's economy seems to be doing fine with the commodity boom and its favorable tax structure, plus based on history the Russians seem to be somewhat more nationalistic than other people, so I don't see how a "brain drain" ploy would work very well. Other countries experiencing population declines can do the same, particularly Japan with its huge stash of US treasuries, or it could stop building those "bridges to nowhere" and shift the money to demographics. Both Russia and Japan are in far better positions to print money than the US. All, IMHO. muscadine
