Why does Russia seem to constantly start trouble throughout history?
>>1029097
It doesn't.
Maybe since WW2 ended, but hardly "throughout history".

Remember that one time when Russia was going to remove kebab once and for all but perfidious Albion and frogland stepped in to stop it?
Russia is the misunderstood anti hero the world deserves and saves the world from degenerate western decadence
>>1029097
literally the whole 20th century was about keeping russia down
>>1029097
They lag behind Europe in social development by around 50-100 years. Always did, that makes them somewhat an outcast and unpopular with the other Europeans.
>>1029097
I never realised just how small Europe is if its only 1000km from Brittany to the Czech Republic
>>1029097
wow... leaving out the non-eu countries... also, the great dane isn't norwegian, it's -- surprise surprise -- danish

Now that triggers me greatly
What great power doesn't start troubles? Just try to name fucking one.
>>1029205
Actually, to give you an idea, from the South of France to the North of France is a little more than 1000km

>Poles invade Russia
Sure they trotted around Moscow, but there was never a plan to invade Russia. Commonwealth wasn't conventionally expansive and the senate didn't support the early 17th century expedition, cutting off troops.
Invasion implies large scale occupation, at it's worst a Polish fraction wanted to coopt Russia into it's socio-political system and, eventually, a union. Religious differences and personal convictions made it impossible.
As for Russia , it's an expansive empire, It has a weak point at the western border, the European Great Plain. It naturally tries to push the border further away from it's core territory and Moscow itself. Also if they can they'll grab an access to the Northern Sea so their navy can't be contained. Meaning eventually Scandinavia will be targeted as well.
>>1029097
Every country has started trouble constantly throughout history.

>Falling for the obvious bait

Gee, I wonder why they didn't want Russia to capture the Bosporus and thus have access to the Mediterranean?
>>1029287
Two steps.

As long as the Turks get destroyed then it's fine.

Also why isn't Turkey a giant Roach on the map?

>Why is Russia always contesting the dominant global system???
>Why can't they just be nice cucks and accept the Eternal Anglo as their master????????
>>1035446
This, pretty much. Whenever the Russians brew things up, it is usually because the rest of the world is, or is trying to, eliminate them from relevance. I mean, hell, Obama called them a "regional power". Terrible move, I can't tell you how pissed off that made my Russian friends. They didn't care much before, but now they're out for blood, to the point of calling for outright war with Ukraine and the Baltics.
>>1035496
Well ukraine and belarus should never have been independent anyway so we might as well let them take it

I wonder if Putin's net worth is ACTUALLY 100 billion. I wonder why he wouldn't flaunt it.
>>1037290
not much to show for when your country is less then half as rich as it was only 3 years ago. Besides everyone there already is a show off. In fact most of them Russians drive around in luxury Black Mercedes, Audis and BMWs but live in 2 sq foot shitholes with no hot water most of the day and also wear the same tracksuits to work.

>>1035446
I guess challenging dominant global system through military ways can be dangerous. Look what happened to Germany. It may be more reasonable to challenge it through economic ways, like China do, for instance.

Unavoidable decentralization from its massive size that leads to technological and economic stagnation
you need to understand how states have interests and theres no good or bad in this playfield
The fact that you actually believe this means Western propaganda is simply the best, even with a free press we can still out-propaganda Russians or Chinese.
>>1029097
How do they start trouble? They seem to be the only ones getting invaded because it's such a backwards shithole
