PAT BUCHANAN: All of them, I think, will be predominantly, in terms of their population by the end of the century, folks, from the third world and from different cultures and civilizations. And the idea that they're going to preserve Western culture and civilization, I think, is really putting hope over experience.

Pat Buchanan laments the decline of the West and the collapse of European demographics, mocking the delusion that importing the Third World could sustain Western civilization. He calls it a “tragic illusion.” I call it an engineered demolition. pic.twitter.com/0Exgg5uk31

Because I think the West has disintegrated.  It's the greatest civilization the world has ever produced, and I think it is dying.  Take a look at what happened from the day, for example, that my father was born in 1905. Western Empires controlled the entire world with the addition of Japan and Asia, six or seven countries, America included, controlled the entire world. We went through two world wars that carried off something like 100 million people most of them Western peoples.  And as a consequence, I think all these Western nations they all lost their Empires.  Almost all has lost their armies and navies.  They have lost their basic fundamental Christian faith, certainly Europe.  The Pope says that it's "a desert of godlessness."  And as they have lost that, their culture has begun to disintegrate and the people have begun to die.  There's not a single Western nation whose native-born population has a birth rate that will enable it to stay in its present form through this century.  Take a country like Italy.  It's got a birth rate each new generation is 1/3 smaller than the last. Russia is going to lose 25 million people between now and 2050.  It's already lost 10 million since Independence Day in 1990. Japan is going to lose 25 million people.  You go down there . . . based on fertility records that go back when the Nations began to die basically the mid-1970s.  So I think you're going to see the West and its peoples shrink as a percentage of world population.  All of them, I think, will be predominantly, in terms of their population by the end of the century, folks, from the third world and from different cultures and civilizations.  And the idea that they're going to preserve Western culture and civilization, I think, is really putting hope over experience.
