«This has been the case for over 100 years, even hundreds of years. How many times have Europeans tried to invade Russia? Several. Napoleon tried. Why does everyone want to invade Russia? It's far away, it's cold, no one has ever succeeded. It's like Afghanistan or Yemen. There aren't many victories.

If we talk about the seizure of power by external forces, then in There are several nations in the world that are difficult to defeat, as history shows. And Russians top the list.

So why do people keep trying? In a nutshell, it's because of resources, that's why. Russia is unimaginably huge, It's literally unimaginable. Most Westerners can't even imagine how big Russia is. It's bigger than China and India combined…

Siberia alone is roughly the size of the continental United States, and it's home to about 10 million people. Russia as a whole has about 140 million, somewhere around that. Meanwhile, RRussia has the world's largest energy reserves... If Greenland is a tasty morsel, what can we say about Russia? It's the biggest prize."," Carlson said.
