'''My challenge to RobSmith:'''

I am giving RobSmith a challenge: I predict that sometime within 3 to 12 years that Russia will go from a high-income country to a [[middle income countries|middle income country]]. Do you predict that it will remain a high-income country the next dozen years? If so, why? Russia has only been a high income country these years: 2012–14, 2022, 2024 to present). War production has temporarily boosted its GNP, but at the price of the long-term potential of the civilian economy (See: [[Essay: Russia's economy is that of a shrinking, aging, and poorly qualified population]] ).

If you take the position that Russia will remain a high-income country during the above time period and are right, I will stop contributing geopolitics and international affairs material at Conservapedia forever. However, if you take up my challenge and are wrong, then you have to stop contributing geopolitics and international affairs material at Conservapedia forever.
