Originally posted by SurturYes Russia falls on both Asia and Europe but EU stands for European Union. Not all European countries, like Russia, are a part of the EU though. That's what people are trying to tell you.
Okay, so then just to be clear..this means it is technically on the continent of Asia, right?

*And Africa, especially before the Suez Canal was dug, is also tenuously its own continent as it was connected by land to Asia through the Sinai.

So, in sum, Russia can belong to whatever continent it says it belongs to and be "correct" either way.

Russia doesn't have the ability to invade a country across the ocean.
What about China? A war between NATO, and Russia would include Russia's allies right? In a time that NATO should actually be hoarding their resources, you have countries like the US, and Great Britain leading the pack in terms of giving other countries humanitarian aid, while cutting back on their own military might. Korea is a nuclear power, Russia is as well, and let's not forget about China. Will Iran also become one within the next few years? It sure looks possible, according to what has been trending over the past 9 or so years. Scary stuff indeed, a veritable Abomination of Desolation.

And no, not necessarily. China and Russia don't have a mutual defense pact, and China will NEVER sign one because China knows Russia is unstable and might go to war over some stupid shit that doesn't concern Chinese interests. China is a very cautious country, and in many ways they have the smartest foreign policy in the world, quite the polar opposite to Russia.

Still no. China's power projection is basically sufficient to invade and conquer Taiwan. Anything more than that would be difficult. Even a country as near as Japan would be problematic, even if they managed to defeat the Japanese navy and air force.And no, not necessarily.

Interesting. I think something is up though, but we'll just have to sit back and see what happens. I really hope you're right, my gut is telling me otherwise.
