Russia actually had a Russian American company charged with discovering opportunities in Americas for the Russian Empire in early 19th century
One of the epeditions had a Russian 40yo founder of the company engaging a 15yo daughter of California's then-Spanish governor. The guy had to return to Russia shortly and died on the way back. The woman waited for him and never married another, lerning of his death only at the age of 52.
story is not very much known outside Russia

For one weekend you could earn money by simply wasting as much electricity as you can, as we produced too much energy from regenerative power sources.

Really? But Slovakia wasn't as much as a clusterfuck of small kingdoms in this period. Here they built about 20000 castles in this time.

In order to conquer the Aztecs, the spaniards turned oppresed nations against them, the most famous are the Tlaxcaltecas. They were so cooperative to the Spanish that they recruited them to conquer other territories and gave them privileges over other indians.

Eye color doesn't mean anything if that's what you're implying. There are half black people with green eyes.
>>60316448
>>invaded Ukraine
New territory, and Ukraine has no chance to join NATO now.
>>economy imploding
It has grown the last two months. It's in recovery. Many other oil states were hit just as hard, and sanctions have nothing to do with it.
>>sanctioned across the globe
EU 25 + US is not across the globe
>>pariah country again
It wasn't? Remember the news in 2008? 2012?
>>only allies are China and Iran/Syria
How does this connect to Ukraine?
Also, are you forgetting Central Asia? They are the actual allies.
>>China is making Russia its economic bitch
Was happening either way.
>Smooth move Vladimir
Shoot first or you won't be able to.

The taxable money that comes from marijuna sales is just a little more than 0.1% of our GDP
16% of the dutch population has ever tried marijuana. Only 8% uses marijuana on a regular basis. These numbers are for example lower than the United States, where cannabis is illegal almost everywhere.
Also, Amsterdam is a better brand than the Netherlands.

I find it funny that most Aztec apologists go around saying Aztecs were conquered mostly due to Spanish diseases and other native allies and somehow forget that these same diseases would kill the indian allies of the Spanish as well.

Spain has suffered 4 civil war in 150 years. The south of the country(andalusia) was the most powerful and richest part of Spain for centuries. Also, Andalusian tried to gain independence in the past. Now is considered the most spanish region and the poorest...

If the economic sanctions are lifted within a year I'd count it as a Russian victory.
>>60316743
I'm sad that the only people who make that point are not Mexicans, but you're right.
Overall, the main cause of their fall was their enemies, the Spanish only gave them courage to fight them.
