Would agree russia has a crazy complicated history yeah

 

[Chris]

But Putin is a simple man with simple desires IMO

 

[Canadian Dragon]

russia yes ofc

 

[Canadian Dragon]

i should have clarified, russia itself is super complicated

 

[Canadian Dragon]

if we want to get technical by their rules though, their land is viking land

 

[Canadian Dragon]

so sweden and finland should invade it

 

[Canadian Dragon]

seems fair!

 

[Zany Clowny]

Putin is an ex KGB agent who says the Soviet Union collapsing was a tragedy, but at the same time under his watch the Orthodox Church makes Tsar Nicholas II and his family martyrs. He wants to revert Soviet borders, yet is lukewarm at best to Lenin and Trotsky, internationalist communists.

The thing to know about Russia is that it "shouldn't" have lasted as long as it has, especially on its Eastern half. You'd think a country that massive would have fallen apart eventually, but somehow no? Especially with all of the historical ethnic cleansing throughout its 700-year history.

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Same with China. Hopefully, in due time, China finally gets slashed to fucking hell and Tibet, Hong Kong, and Taiwan can finally earn recognition as sovereign states.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

yeah lets be real , on the geopolitics stage, there hasnt been much recent examples of russia not being complete fucking shiesty assholes lol

 

[Bobby Barrows]

England doesn't have much leg to stand on though tbf, nor do nations like Spain, Italy, or Turkey.

 

[Canadian Dragon]

honestly China is much more scary long term but thats another debate. the only reason russia even gets to do this shit is because of MAD. outside of that, NATO could squash them like a bug

 

[Canadian Dragon]

i think theres a pretty big gap in "being decent" between england and turkey

 

[Bobby Barrows]

Oh my fucking god.
