If you wanna go down the path of a global collapse due to the aging population scenario, you need to look at the numbers. Take a look at the USA's predicted numbers by 2030, they've literally perfectly angled themselves to survive the death of the baby boomers with the economic load they'll add to pensions/social security. There's a few other countries that will be able to survive it too, Turkey/Mexico/India have a young enough population, but it's not as well balanced as the USA, and it's not as bad as Japan/Germany/Russia where they've hit a baby bust and may or may not be heading towards certain doom

Russia is actually fucked harder than most countries in the world. Their population chart is all over the place with atrocious life expectancy, and an economy that will not survive the influx of natural gas/renewable energy this decade. Russia and China are the two biggest examples of what a failed state may become in this century due to horrible management of economy and population. As for Europe, they're not in a very good position, but they can survive as long as they pick the right allies. America is just going through another political change, same thing happened in the 1930's
