Where is Ariete when you need him)))
It was actually (*bloody*) hilarious, I am just not familiar with all the "participants" here)))
Not sure who is guarding his potato from "Lithuanians," and not sure who "forest people" are.
Russians are the ultimate forest people to my mind - that's what the country is all about; huge forests, lakes and rivers.
One of the Russian slogans "Take care of the forest ( prevent the forest fires)...
otherwise there will be no place to conduct guerrilla war."

But Russia is also home to the vast open steppe, so Russia is a little bit of both.

Why don't we just choose the last one - the "Bloody Mongol Slav" - it will give us a huge umbrella to cover the whole EE. With forest, steppe,oceans, northern lights,etc.
If you think running gas pipes through Ukraine causes trouble, wait till they try to run one through North Korea. Maybe they should just do an undersea pipe to South Korea.

It's highly unlikely. Pipelines are often protected by governments and insurgents alike. Most recent attacks against oil and gas facilities have come from groups in Africa supported by Saudi Arabia. They're not a major gas exporter. They wanted to build a pipeline from Qatar to the port of Ceyhan in Turkey by way of Syria and offered money for it before the war.
I have now a question about soviet Russia. I recently read a book about the Cold war and there was written about CIA reports to US administration about Soviet life in early 80ies and the mentality of people. According to CIA soviet people had at the beginning of eighties a "cynical attitude" towards communism, i.e the party talks were not taken seriously. How was it in RSFSR aka the Russia proper back then? CPSU adopted a new program in 1961 what ended with the declaration: "The Party solemnly proclaims: the present generation of Soviet people shall live under communism!". How was it in RSFSR back then in early 1980ies before Gorbachov era?

That's a nice conspiracy theory but it doesn't make any sense so its unlikely to be secretly true. They could have much easier run a pipe through Iraq. Its not like Assad would have been against making money on a pipe running through Syria anyway. The fact is, the money isn't worth the cost to build one. Gas is cheap (thanks in no small part to Russia).
