France vs. Russia

France, not close.

Easiest question ever. Russia is the single most evil and destructive country in the world. It's a vile cancer that has only infected the world and brought nothing but death and devestation in pretty much its entire history.

Get a grip.

a bit of a hyperbole maybe, but he's basically right isn't he?  I wouldn't have said "only", I'm sure they did a good thing or two somewhere on accident because of the broken clocks law.



(I have hard biases against Russia, perhaps too hard...but the whole hating gays and the land grabs make it really easy to keep those biases alive)

Third Rome=1st Rome was Rome, 2nd Rome was Constantinople, 3rd Rome is claimed by Moscow 'cause that's where some of the Byzantine nobles went after the fall (right?).

Siberia is the part of Russia east of the Urals, it was (and still is really) a desolate wasteland like northern Canada.  Russia moved some Russians there to take the resources.

That last one I'm not so sure about.  The Soviets did a number on them didn't they?  I see more Greek Orthodox than I do Russian, but wiki tells me there are a bunch more of the Russian flavor...so maybe he's right?  Not that it means much anymore.  (like Third Rome)

memba when Republicans liked free markets and hated Russia?
