Do you think it will be a viable route in the near future?

2017-06-23 23:51:58 UTC  

I think it will be yes

2017-06-23 23:52:08 UTC  

thanks "global warming"

2017-06-23 23:52:36 UTC  

Russia has massively invested in ice breakers.

2017-06-23 23:52:59 UTC  

Ten years from now, that may be a focal point of war.

2017-06-23 23:53:09 UTC  

Russia just needs to invest in trade infrastructure so they can export their trillions of dollars of raw resources they have

2017-06-23 23:53:32 UTC  

>russia >infrastructure lul

2017-06-23 23:53:42 UTC  

The icebreakers are essentially infrastructure.

2017-06-23 23:53:43 UTC  

Trans-siberian railroad stronk

2017-06-23 23:55:02 UTC  

Someday, there will be a highway from Siberia to Alaska. Its been in the planning stages for 100 years.

2017-06-23 23:55:33 UTC  

Wars got in the way.

2017-06-23 23:55:53 UTC  

yeah that big cold one

2017-06-23 23:56:18 UTC  

Imagine if Russia was never communist

2017-06-23 23:56:30 UTC  

It could have been one of the largest economies in the world

2017-06-23 23:56:38 UTC  

Maybe larger than that of the US

2017-06-23 23:57:00 UTC  

on the flip side it could have stayed as incompetent as before the world wars too

2017-06-23 23:57:07 UTC  

when they got BTFO by japan

2017-06-23 23:57:31 UTC  

Well it would have become some kind of right authoritarian government

2017-06-23 23:57:35 UTC  

Imagine if Stalin wasnt a homicidal maniac. Even communist, russia could have been great.

2017-06-23 23:57:38 UTC  

other than monarchism

2017-06-23 23:58:16 UTC  

"even communist" thats the thing, its always spearheaded by a maniac, because only a maniac would do so. its a catch 22

2017-06-23 23:58:27 UTC  

Right

2017-06-23 23:58:33 UTC  

The thing about Russia is that collectivism and serfdom was so ingrained into their culture that I think Communism was the only thing that could have changed them positively

2017-06-23 23:58:58 UTC  

eh they were and are fucked regardless

2017-06-23 23:59:20 UTC  

thats what happens when a bunch of slavs are in the middle of an icey wasteland

2017-06-23 23:59:27 UTC  

Imagine those serfs under the leadership of a racial monarchy.

2017-06-23 23:59:43 UTC  

there would be no "racial"

2017-06-23 23:59:49 UTC  

Well western Russia is hardly an icy wasteland

2017-06-24 00:00:01 UTC  

at least 4 months of the year

2017-06-24 00:00:08 UTC  

tru

2017-06-24 00:00:28 UTC  

@Guan what do you mean " no racial"?

2017-06-24 00:00:32 UTC  

They just can't utilize the warm months well because everything becomes a marsh

2017-06-24 00:00:35 UTC  

lol

2017-06-24 00:00:42 UTC  

why would a racial government be necessary

2017-06-24 00:00:49 UTC  

They have a word for it

2017-06-24 00:00:59 UTC  

Masirovka?

2017-06-24 00:01:13 UTC  

its when all the soil becomes mud from the snow

2017-06-24 00:01:31 UTC  

hence wasteland lol

2017-06-24 00:01:40 UTC  

i mean its survivable

2017-06-24 00:01:46 UTC  

it's no sub-sahara

2017-06-24 00:02:14 UTC  

Rasputitsa is the word
