Isn't Russia's geography mostly mountainous with hard rock and super strong snowstorms year round? And majority of it is land locked, and the side that isn't is so far north the waters are always frozen? What would they mine for natural resources? Where would they drill without getting harassed by the west?
Austin Morris
It fucking is. It just doesnt have a massive inflated fake economy like the west does
Grayson Ross
You know what you have to do.

The majority of their geography is taiga. Basically forests that have a nasty winter. I'm sure Siberia is shitty with iron and coal and all sorts of other shit that mining would be profitable. Not to mention lumber and agricultural shit like corn and wheat. Their jews are greedier that ours apparently.

Look at the size of Bangladesh vs Russia. Bangladesh has 20 million more people than Russia. Russia needs more African immigrants.

Everyone lives in slums and the majority of young people want to get out of Russia.

Rich countries have shitholes like this, everyone does.
Maybe White South African immigrants, but that’s all.
Underrated. They killed off a ton of good farmers and replaced them with 1950s-era sjws; probably
Just as insufferable as the purple haired retards running around nowadays.

Abundant oil makes very few keys of powers, so the despots don't need to share a lot of power and productivity/innovation is not incentivised. The US almost got into the same situation as Venezuela, Iraq or Saudi Arabia during the gilded age, but the institutions won there.
Alexander Campbell
Shut up OP
They're doing exceedingly well for a country that was socialist not that long ago
Angel Watson
Slavs are filled with corruption thats why

Russia proved Hitler wrong and that's what sucks the most.
No, they turned out to not be superior at all, and were just a khakanate horde that lucked out with endless American lend lease. A blight upon the globe. Still is...

Putin’s stealing most of its money. Why else would they still WW2 equipment while his sits on a billion dollar home one of many
