Their economy sucks, their population is declining, which means life in the future will be even more miserable. But the political issue they care about is access to their damn opiate.
Some people deserve what happens to them.
As we all know, it is quite literally impossible to care about more than one issue simultaneously.

Not true. Declining population = more resources for each individual. That applies even with lower production. Resources such as land, housing, water, energy# will not be affected by this. We will be entering a scarcity economy soon.
# you can get by with mostly renewable resources with a lower population.
To be fair, it will be somewhat difficult to manage when half the population is at retirement age; so nobody is paying National Insurance.
