so 4 months of the year is habitable

yeah that sounds miserable

spring and autumn are basically winter in Russia

It makes defending Russia easy though

Napoleon and Hitler both were repelled by it

yeah the steppes are the only reason they haven't been destroyed, you just cant get past it

but that's basically all they have, besides oil

It's easier now though

The Monarchy is to this day an ethnically based clan. They just didnt apply those principles to their subjects.

They don't have buffer states

oh yeah but no one is trying to invade them atm, everyone is afraid of war now

yeah

Hard times create strong men. Strong men create good times. Good times create weak men. Weak men create hard times.

and we are at the impotus of the hard times

We are soft.

Life is too good.

There is going to be a second American Revolution

We must welcome the destruction of western civilization, and prepare to make something better in its place.

Germany was infected by the East Germans.

We should have took lessons from the Eastern World

imo we should be laying the ground work for what we want to survive past the west, trump has done nothing but bought us precious time

and how they treat demographics

Sooner or later, a socialist will get into office

a true socialist

maybe, maybe not, all i know is that we are running out of time

i give it untill 2030-40

The big bad USSR is gone

we don't fear it anymore

@D.iogenes What do you mean by a socialist?

it was a lesson unlearned

a big bad is easy to fight, a thousand tiny grey areas is unstoppable

I mean a socialist who is an actual self proclaimed socialist'
