"Yep. The massive area that is mainly Siberia is largely tundra, thinly populated and extremely hard to actually do anything with! No other bugger wanted it that bad so Russia thought "Yeah, we'll have that..." As the area contained so few local people they wouldn't have put up much resistance even if they wanted to. And largely their way of life is the same as it was previously. B" I wonder how they came to be there. | |||

"Belgium is smaller than I realised too." Having worked in Belguim, it's a strange place in many ways. In size it's small, but their culture differs hugely between North and South Belguim, much more than ours does. They actually speak two different languages, the dutch heavy Flemish the main one in the North whilst the Walloons in the South tend to speak French? Also try finding a bloody cash machine! They're about a mile and a half apart even in big cities such as Antwerp which is crap on a night out ha! The resson behind this is that income tax is so fucking obscenely high that a massive amount of jobs over there pay cash in hand otherwise a lot of people wouldn't be able to actually live? So cash machines aren't needed by a massive amount of people and as such they're a lot more sparse. B | |||

"Many people don't realise that the US and Russia are actually neighbours. Eastern Siberia and Alaska are only @55 miles apart across the Bering Strait.." Yes but to connect the two countries you would need around 2600 miles of new road and 3 bridges over a very difficult terrain. | |||

"Canada is pretty big too, i here they’ve got some lakes there or some shit. Snows as well they reckon. No one wants to conquer cold countries?" In days of old, inhabiting colr areas was difficult to say the least. So no, they didnt want to conquer those landmasses. Or if they did claim the land it got ignored as it was pointless. *DISCLAIMER* this entire comment is speculative and based on no research whatsoever. | |||

India is around 3.3m sq km, but looking at most world maps a lot more than 5-6 Indias would fit inside Russia. | |||

"Anyway fuck Russia. Italy looks like a dominatrix' boot clad leg, with Sicily probably it's submissive bitch, puckering up to kiss it. Whereas Russia looks like fuck all except perhaps a dollop of some moist stuff that has been dumped on the floor. Therefore I much prefer Italy, me. What have any Russians possibly got to say to that? B" Some Russians would probably rather be living in Italy than a cold Russia. I know I would. | |||

" There are thats why Hitler invaded. Russia with its 18,000+ nukes though is very safe from the usa. The usa in its concerns about how far Russia and China has got ahead ('china isnt a signatory) jist pulled out of the intermediate range treaty which fucks us in europe as were the ones in the firing line of those missiles. | |||
