fact: Russia is a 3rd world country
>i don't understand the three world modelretard
>>537544724>fact: Russia is a 3rd world countryIf this were true then (((1pbtid memeflags))) would not need to spam anti-Russian propaganda on this board 24/7.
>>537544808The “second world” ended with the collapse of Soviet communism. It’s an outdated term. Russia never progressed to 1st world. Plus, it’s regressed to basically Africa-tier now. It has to beg China for supplies and north korea for troops.
Ok, I did your dumb experiment and checked google maps for the finnish side and russian side, and there's just a lot of woods and a few rustic houses and a few farms. Alot of roads are unpaved on either side.The closest medium sized town near the border look.. ok
>>537544724Wow epic space program those fins dont have but Russians manage to do
>>537545834thank god the weather is bad you almost blew it
>>537545121>China for supplies and north korea for troops.Everyone is more than happy to get combat experience and test their kit. Thats half the reason america is there. First world is not a wealth thing it's the western European world. Even if Russia surpassed us it would still be the second world. Its colloquial use is wealth, but its technical definition is related to alliances and geographic alignment. The third world was anyone not important enough to be associated with the current power or the rising one.
>>537545834oh no, a historic unpaved road?
>>537544724interesting, both of those pictures look like 3rd world shitholes to me.
>>537544808>>537544973>>537545834>>537545895Vatniks mad? Yup, Vatniks mad.
>>537546106that is viborg in russia, this is lappenrantaa in finland, the two closest towns near the border
>>537545834Zoom out.
>>537544724Shithole: :)Shithole, Russia: >:(
First time seeing an American style suburb in Europe
>>537546340you can spot buildings like that everywhere
>>537545834>Every single house built by Finns or Swedes except the one to the left that looks like shitIn Finland those pavement stones and manhole covers wouldn't be designed to trip up babushkas either. Finland fixes stuff that decays, in russia everything is in a permanent state of decay.Also, what's with the graffiti. Does the czar know?
>>537544808You do? Per three world model both Austria and Switzerland are both third world btw>>537545834>what? You claim someone cherrypicked data to make other side look bad? Who would do such a thingThese threads are always ragebaiting divide and conquer shit. Like that picture of the US highway with the gas stations and mcdonalds commies love so much. Except the Pindia challenge, wich was verified by independent independent fact checkers ad absurdum
>>537546698That's what most of that city looks like.
>>537546820it's just a lot of commieblocks outside the city centre
>>537547085
>>537547125
>>537547085:| no that's not true. that's impossible. russia bad. malfunction detected >:(
>>537546463This is from one of their "walkable" cities.
>>537546340Now way that isn't from 1990s or 2000s
>>537544724Yep they are jealous as hell about us
>>537545834Holy shit, they really live like this?Dystopian as fuck, no wonder they're constantly trying to claim new places other people built.
>>537548839>pic of a freeway >hurrdurr walkable cityAre Americans really this stupid? (No need to answer)
>>537549040I mean the post is bait, but Western Europe has been seething about the east since the fall of the western roman empire. The eastern Roman empire kept going for 1000 years, spoke greek and the inhabitants called themselves "Romans" until the ottoman invasion. The western kingdoms even had a whole crusade against them for being Orthodox. The seething of western monarchs and merchants lasts to this day. It's shocking when you realize this fear of the orthodox has been driving anti-Russia and anti-East sentiment. Slavs don't even realize that western europeans see them as hated enemies to be suppressed, and even most westerns don't understand that politically and economically the west has been trying to turn eastern europe into worthless buffer states against their enemy: the orthodox East.Which is idiotic, because Europe would be much stronger if the east was developed and invested in earnestly. Poland is an example of what happens. But of course Europe is afraid to give the east any power, least the orthodox come back into power. It's also why soviets communism was tolerated and orchestrated by the Germans. It was designed to destroy the prestige, authority and religion of the east...
