Oh god i understand him so much. Tthis all could be ours, i coudl hunt deers and moose in northwestern pacific if russians didnt sell it all out of kindness thinking it would lead to better relationships with americans. Russian america wcould be a bastion of white russia after 1917 reds would fail to conquer it desu.....oh god.....truly a possible paradise lost....
"You were good guys, it's a pity that everything turned out like this. With Alaska, you still do not understand (and you will never understand) what it was. It was our broad "American gesture". Let's be eternal allies, "brothers Ajax", standing in the north of the Pacific Ocean. Yes, in the Atlantic. Yes, and all over the world. Russian politics is prudent but simple, making business with Russians is easy. Russians always take the interests of a partne into account r and do not make “chess moves” against a partner. Including because they understand some limitations of their intellectual capabilities. Prudent Americans at a certain moment overestimated their intellectual capabilities and lost their shores. They sat down to play at the card table with hereditary cheaters. Who taught them to laugh at the Russian idiots who rolled down the Potemkin stairs in an Alaska carriage.
Regret for the Americans is, of course, also regret for the Russians. With America, Russia would be invincible, and Russians and Americans would be complementary nations. "Realists" with ideals at heart. But it didn't happen."
You already have Siberia, nigger. How much more land do you need?

i made a mistake in op, i wanted to respond to this post "Forests, old as the world itself, meadows, plains, strange, delciate flowers, immense solitudes, an all anture new to art, all ours, mine....gone. a paradise lost".
Russia sold it because they were heavily indebted to Hudson bay company,due to Russians being unable to turn profit from Alaska. The Russia settlement was tiny and dwarfed by the private settlements (British and American). To avoid falling into English or French hands the czar sold Alaska for peanuts as it was a goner anyways.
Noah James
More, fuck you
Isaac Walker
> thinking it would lead to better relationships with americans You sold it because you were in a rivalry with the British and you didn’t think you could hold it, and most people thought it was worthless at the time. Nice larp though

Yeah nah move along nigger lmao or you'll get shot

i do not believe a single world anglo ever says. period.

Russian Alaska was just a fur trading settlement. The province never turned a profit because of Russian stupidity in commerce and seafaring. Even Japan could've claimed Alaska and your shit navy and army would've had no recourse.

How does the paki cock taste like? Or do you prefer arab?

>you didn’t think you could hold i not a single nation gives up land because "it can't hold it". there are zero examples in history. russians were jsut retards who believed americans would appreaciate this gift. but instead even 160 years later they are still nto capable of gradtitude and justify their bad thoughts about act of a good will of russians with all kinds of immoral shit we've already seen in this thread. It's gone. It wll never be russian again. You need to stop shitting on the good will of dead peopel and dead nation. There is not a single other society that shits on the heads of people who gave them such gifts. The russian is dead. You need to calm down. Forgive yourself for your own gracelessness.

Angflo dog opens mouth=anglo dog says lies as a typical eurasoid he is. When i read "smart" psots of anglos online i remidn myself that thse kind of posts are made by the subjects of indian empire. I would not let physical or in yoru case mental and spiritual pajeet asian teach me about history. Just as i dont listen to mongols about history i do not listen to the subbjects of New Urgaб New Ulan Bator(London).

I honestly feel like Alaska should have been an area of mutual governance, though I know that would have been impossible to implement. Russians are a bit backwater, but had your country had good relations with the west I feel as though it would have improved much more drasticly. I'm sad that this never came to be, but I think we all know who is to blame.
Russia was super based back in the day. One of our best bros. The tsar even sent their imperial fleet to "visit" New York harbor while the American Civil War was going on, to discourage the English from directly interfering on the side of The Confederacy as a way to destabilize us further. The whole communism thing really scared America away from being bros with Russia anymore though. Quite a shame really.

>good will >Russians I've never even heard of Russians doing a single thing positive in a non selfish way ever in the history of the planet.

How is central Asian, proper chink, gook, churka, Islamic, Moldovan, Ukrainian, Siberian, Finnish, buryat and whatever the fuck cat dragged from the dumpster cock runs daily in your country? I take no shit from nobody and especially from pakis, niggers, or Russians, but I repeat myself
Adam Diaz
The Royal navy of today (complete with women, niggers and other worthless detritus) is better than all the armies of Russia combined from Jarl Rurik to 2222. You are globohomo at your inception, homo sovieticus in a Stockholm syndrome with the Jews that fucked you like nobody was fucked in the history of the world. You are literally rulled by Beria's son (Putin) and you dont dare say a word to offend your churka and chink overlords, backed by the power of your state. You are all white monkeys at best and absolute niggers at worst and your exceptional people exist and have existed despite your people and your state, not because.

A Russian author commenting on the Russians' lack of intellectual capabilities? Really, or a shit translation?
Jeremiah Flores
>Royal Navy of what kingdom? The royal Navy of indian empire. England and englishem turned into the servant class of indian empire. What did this turk write about in his famous "The ballad of East and West"? What is it really about? It is about and englishman adopting the mindset of churkas and becomign a churka. London=Capital of empire of NEOMoghauls. English pajeets tried to take small tiny piece of shore in the middle of 19th century and failed. Since that time anglos never fauaght a direct war against russians cause they knew they could never win. So they continued with their asian methods of warfare usual to asia which ways they adopted.

if youre country can help mine to realize the dems and biden are fuckups that need to be ousted from government, and to help us rise up off our knees and back to our former glory, we will be so fucking thankful.
ive been saying it since i was born: russia/usa friendship NOW. you were the best opponent anyone could have, and we did it in a cold war fashion.
i love you fuckers, and i hope one day we can be rid of our globalist shithead democratic overlords and return to our republic ing lory. its that simple. all i want is your help, and ill do whatever i can.
i fuckign hate the state of this mess right noew. it needs to stop or else we'll be fuckign brazil by the end and everything will have been for naught.
Jonathan Richardson
I agree with an American-Russian alliance, but I think Alaska should be its own independent country.
Adrian Hernandez
Russians weren't a bit backwater, they were the global powerhouse at this time
Benjamin Ross
Yeah. But you still didn't get it. he comments that russians aknowledge their own capabilities, its a cimpliment in a sense. Forgot a pic.
>Russians being unable to turn profit from Alaska. The Russia settlement was tiny and dwarfed by the private settlements (British and American). So you're saying, Russia didn't turn a profit because the illegal Anglo settlements didn't pay their taxes to the Russian crown, is that what you're saying?

Russians acknowledge that they aren't as smart as Americans? I find this very odd. Unless he means shrewd, as in cunning, conniving, etc.

Jackson Moore
Its just a regret and funny "what if". Also the main opinion of op is not about "refunds", it's about >you still do not understand (and you will never understand) what it was >Regret for the Americans is, of course, also regret for the Russians.
Matthew Martin
You should learn to translate, because you've done a terrible job, as that's what the translation currently reads as. Russians acknowledge that they aren't as smart as Americans, so they don't attempt to play chess when they make deals.
Jordan Reed
>there are zero examples in history Well there’s one, when Russians sold Alaska to US
Gabriel Jackson
Dude, the author is saying that Russians know their limits contrair to Americans who tend to overestimate themselves. The chess part was meant to say that the Russians didn't view this deal as a competition with a winner and a looser like in chess, but as a cooperation.
Oliver Ross
I'm referring to their country now, not back then, leaf. A Russian and American alliance with a mutually governed Alaska to help with relations and trade would have been an unstoppable force and would have benefitted both nations immensely.
