Even if that's all he meant (which it isn't) that's a pretty stupid thing to say anyway. As if the age of a nation has anything to do with the intelligence or knowledge of the people living there.
Btw if that was the point he was trying to get across "dumb" wouldn't have been necessary. Puppy alone would have sufficed.
