    Calling it now: Russia has Siberia for 400 years and did dick with it. China can use Siberian resources better than Russia.

    It will always be about exploitation.

          iirc demographically, even after the one child policy and preference for boys for generations, the demographic split only went to 112 (male) to 100 women… which isn’t great no doubt but hardly a good reason to go north.

          the potential resource bounty and space on the other hand… no need to frame the issue as rapey

            This is a humorous shitposting community of degenerates, deplorables and malcontents, don’t tell me what to do. By the old gods and the new, I swear that no nubile virgins were involved in the making of this thread. Probably. Incels are just as welcome here as anyone else. You don’t even need pants in this club, but you do need a sense of the ridiculous.
