>Command the resources of 1/6 of the planet>Country literally bigger than Pluto>At points they literally had dominion over half of Asia and Europe>Oil and gas and timber and minerals everywhere>...>Still a poor third-world countryWhat the fuck is wrong with them?
>>534718469Are you dumb or just baiting?
>>534718469They're second world tho
>>534718469It’s dey culcha

>>534718469the reason is they don't have enough landthey just need more to become a utopia
>>534718469>What the fuck is wrong with them?Being occupied by westerners since 988
>>534718469The mongols buck broke them
>>534718469>third-world countryThey're 2nd world my dude and like the 9th largest economy on Earth, they arent living in mud huts
>>534718480Russians would absolutely live in mudhuts if the government didn't force them to build cities at gunpoint.
>>534718481Nah they're pretty smart , even the asian ones that still live a semi nomadic life
>>534718469>russia>resourcest's half antarctic tier you dumb faggot
>>534718473Baltic germans sure did a shit job of modernizing latvia.
>>534718483They're rich in oil, gas, coal, fertile farmland, and water resources. They have virtually everything needed to sustain large scale industry
>>534718484Look I like the Russians but nah, out sphere of influence is far more expansive and military industrial complex far more capable. Theyre a regional power in eastern europe and central Asia, we're a global hegemon
>>534718477Westerners created Russia. They would still be squabbling tribes if Swedish kangs and German nobility didn't rule them.
>>534718485*the ussr
>>534718469Slavic apes are inferior people.Srusskies be srusskking.
I dont know why they are so poor… they seem to have everything except maybe fertile land? Also they lack population nowadays and the country is too big.
>>534718469Lots of Russians are Jewish. Wonder what could be the problem.
>>534718469Too much AIDSrussians are retarded schizostruly the lolcow of nations
>>534718469jews. since 1917, jews
>>534718469>What the fuck is wrong with them?Russia jews selling out to The Fed kikes, sell their oil in pertdollars and continue to trade and evaluate their currency in USD instead of GOLD, that's why.
>>534719292Based knower
>>534718472this, they dont want to get replaced
>>534718469Too many slavs
>>534718469The communists completely ruined Russia. It’s not an understatement. Industrialization plans under the right-wing Republican government would have developed Russia faster than in our timeline and without millions of casualties. De-Kulakization also massively stunted growth. Corruption, paranoia, incompetence, and massacre led to famine and lack of technological advancement, the people felt as though they were no more than tools, and the system eventually collapsed because nobody could respect or tolerate the atrocious system. The post-Soviet Collapse period was also obviously hellish, undoing what little progress had been made by the communists from the Tsarist times at the cost of millions of lives, and in the chaos the strongman we all know, Putin, initially looked like he would, at best, bring the country up to modern standards, or at worst at least stabilize it at the cost of democratic representation and institutions, but now he will be known as the man who killed Russia.
>>534718469They just can't catch a break.>be alexander II>try to liberalize the country>still get assassinated by socialists>future monarchs crack down hard on socialists and revert much of the liberalization in response>do ww1 for some dumb reason>get yeeted by bolsheviks>they do their retarded shit for 70 years>it fails>country in chaos for a decade>putin actually fixes much of the issuesThe fact that they had to rebuild the economy basically from scratch in the 21st century is interesting. The era of cheap over seas labour and industrial outsourcing made it a much more difficult task. That's why their economy is mostly based on the export of raw materials. Even America can't figure out how to get manufacturing back as tariffs don't even do anything.
>>534718470Russia does have some poor regions. Putin could have invested public money in these regions, to give Russians better lives. Instead Putin decided to send Russians from poor regions to die in Ukraine.
>>534718486Except the brains to sustain large scale industry.Also, most of the inhabitants are peasants, living in semi-autonomous regions. Think reservations for native Americans but writ large.Also, Russians are largely alcoholics. They used to let kids drink beer; that only changed in 2011.And they're commies.I could go on.
