It's almost entirely Steppe and tundra. There's nothing to stop an aggressor coming for you across landscape like that (the accessible parts)

You have the Urals that's true, but you can go around the Urals.

Before Russian colonization Siberia and Russian far east was almost empty, with only some forest mongols around.

Vast majority of Russians live in the European part, and of those who don't the vast majority live in the southern parts of the Asian part of Russia.

Guys, if any of you want to invest in this, we can split the income 50/50. My land+your business with no land taxes, no shit and and stuff. I just don't want to take this land even for free when I don't know what to do with it.

Why are you talking about empires?

Size of land owned overseas doesn't matter, what matters is if it's strategically useful. Owning lots of strategic bases/territories + having a military which can utilise them means the UK is anything but small. It has freedom of action across a massive space.

I am Estonian and I am surprised by the butthurt ITT by anglos. This should say something.

Russia is our natural enemy. Let's get this out of the way. However! Russia is a country or rather a thing with the craziest most interesting history and culture. Only during the soviet times has a lot of it been destroyed by communism and alcohol. But they still have a so much left.

Russia is not even a part of Asia or Europe. It is Russia, objectively one of the most interesting places in the world. So weird and crazy, so diverse at the same time.

They have Naval units located in SP. Not the same as a full base though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_Naval_Support_Detachment,_S%C3%A3o_Paulo

Our ""Base"" is literally just them using a NZ Air Force base for scientific missions to antarctica.

The map is misleading as Fugg.
>>
>>52196752

That too kinda. But we are always relevant because of you and your relations with the west. We are the buffer between west and Russia. Also, strategic location at baltic sea, good lands for pipeline and so on. When civilization exists, we are always relevant.

But at the same time we might not be if we can't make any choices and if no one even knows we exist. If a tree falls in a forest and no one hears, did the tree really fall?

Long story short, we have to make more skypes and write ESTONIA MENTIONED :DDDD on them.
>>
>>52197294
It's not even an Air Force base. Both the US Antartic program and the RNZAF have buildings in a corner of Christchurch international airport. Basically an air movement terminal for transport and cargo planes to use the runway and facilities there
