Why is Russian industry so pathetic for it's gigantic size and immense manpower...

Why is Russian industry so pathetic for it's gigantic size and immense manpower? Countries like England and Germany have had and currently have some of the strongest industries in the world.
Russia would probably totally collapse after beginning a war.
Useless, pathetic, embarrassing

Because USA considers Russia a rival and blocks their access to sea trade routes

Because Russia is full of Russians. That's why it's a shithole.

Well Russia keeps pushing naitons away with their attitude, all they have to do is not get involved in shady international dealings all the time.

All they had to do was to completely submit to USA. Russia wasn't willing to do that, so now they are enemies

You made up that demand lol.

>only 12th biggest economy in the world
>USA has over 10x the size of Russia's GDP

Why would they consider an oil banana country to be an economic rival when China exists?

American geostrategy is well described in the book The Grand Chessboard, which was published in 1997 and predicted pretty much all the conflicts we have today

What industry are you talking about? It was totally destroyed after USSR fall. We only deal with raw resources.

Because they do a lot of trade with China, so sanctioning China would hurt USA.
Meanwhile, they have literally zero trade with Russia, thus RF is a cheap boogyman to justify the high military spending

((()))

A couple of (apparantly) correct predictions doesn't make the rest true. Of course Americans are dicks but looking at China you don't have to submit.

RF has the second strongest military in the world.

You're shifting the topic from economy (the most relevant and important measurement of a country) to military.

Russians only know how to zerg rush in wars and when there's no war, they will vodka rush their life so the misery will end sooner
They're literally having entire country's GDP lower than an advanced 1st world city like Tokyo, while most GDP comes from selling resources to real europeans while acting as if they're some badass cunt that is able to defeat eu while in reality russians will literally be crushed by any european cunt with decent industry, manpower and economy
Not to mention that the unneeded rivalry or alertness against china and other potential allies have made them look even more like a snownigger that doesn't know anything similar to diplomacy, it's still similar to the barbaric thought of being strong in military = I can take your land because we strong
Their land should be split and shared amongst all civilized nations to civilize the people living in the area

Because they are recovering from the switch to a market-based economy

>european cunt with decent industry, manpower and economy
name one

China never dared to directly challenge USA.
Only now they are beginning to fight for influence, by building up infrastructure in outher countries to counter American dominance in the sea

How am I shifting the topic? I said that economically, RF is irrelevant for USA, since they don't trade with each other

You see, now that's a smart approach.

yes, Chinese are very smart, that's why I think they will replace USA as the dominant power

I think half of the world thinks that but okay.

>beginning to fight for influence
You know that they fought wars against India and Vietnam right?
they are antagonizing and bullying neighbors since the end of WW2

two minor conflicts, while USA has been at war literally all the time

>Chinese are very smart
China doesn't show results from the countryside to make themselves look better

so because of a traffic accident, chinese leadership is not smart?

this, but also, this

>Why is Russian industry so pathetic
It isnt though. Russian industry is pretty massive.
Does Sweden even have one?

LMAO

France or Germany?
Or is this some Russian joke?

This.
The cunt could be so filthy rich if it was not for its population. Kinda sad, tbqh.

omg.. is he OK?

Take a train trip through Russia, doesn't matter which one.

You will see endless kilometers of dead factories, empty railyards, and random piles of concrete and steel rubble.

The industry was completely obliterated in the early 90s. Workers were not being paid so they dismantled their own factories and sold them for scrap.

not that it worked so well before

what the hell were they thinking?

It got dismantled after the fall of the USSR.

Source?

China fought no wars since 1979.

Wow a single traffic accident must reflect on all 1.4 billion people. You are a genius!

We had a helping hand from certain someone.

the secret is having an industry aiming for consumer goods and export (high GDP no war capability) versus having an key industry for strategical war reasons (low GDP, high war capability)

Here the insult for your underage baitpost:
I hope you a Muslim or a shart with Proxy or Travel otherwise it's a pure emberassment to see an actual Swede with such low brain activity it is easily a case of clinic retardation.

France, Germany, Britain, hell even Turkey could take over the whole russian territory on the caucasus

>France, Germany, Britain, hell even Turkey could take over the whole russian territory on the caucasus
>the heartland

dude

I wasn't talking about the heartland, macaco

Every country is a reflection of its people.

too busy hacking elections and (failing miserably at) assassinating people

yes

I mean, most of it's land is mostly unusable due the extremely low climates.
