Well, the mongols are the same people found in Mongolia and parts of China these days. This mongol blood might also explain why the modern Russians are so expansionist, even as recently as the land grabbing operation in northern Georgia.
You must be kidding. In the western world these incidents get serious attention and are not taken lightly. Where as in Russia, beating up an "asian looking" gentleman on the metro is commonplace and the culprits are almost never caught. There have been many cases when "foreign looking" people are taken into the woods and hanged or worse, this is no one-time event. Tell me in which other western country this happens regularly.
I do wonder where do such completely uninformed people come from, I'm amazed. What's it like living in the middle ages? Low melanin means -> white skin -> living in sunlight deprived areas -> cold climate -> need to develop technology for more efficient food production, this also advances general technology, including military tech. From there on it's quite simple... Sweden and Norway have a rising population with solid economies. Hungary and Lithuania have a much lower HIV rate than the US. Amazed at how little some of ET posted know about geography and economics.
just to correct you Georgia attacked first and took over a small area and claimed it for themselves they did this because US promised them backing, there is even a video online where Georgian president is telling Condoleezza Rice, Why didn't you keep your promise, why didn't you help us. Now, what the Russians did was, they not only took back their territory but took a chunk of Georgia as well in counter attack. IMO they should have only taken what's theirs but I guess they wanted to show they are still a power. Now lets get to your idea of Mongols in Russia. Power in Russia comes from Moscow western Russia, and there are no mongol descendants there. Russia is a huge ass country, put power lies in the Western border with Europe Region. Overall you are a clueless young man
Well, obviously you didn't follow it closely. Northern Ossetia was part of Georgia, if you are clueless enough to think that Georgia would attack Russia, even with the US backing, which makes zero sense as there are no natural resources there, you are out of your mind. This was a tactic by Russia to show who's boss and show that they can attack as they please without any interference from NATO. Georgia was a NATO candidate to join, that was key part of it for Russia. Most of eastern europe is already in the NATO and Russia wanted to stop the expansion. There is no proof of Georgia crossing into Russian borders. In case you don't know, that's a common strategy - claim there's a genocide or an attack on civilians going on and sweep in, take it for yourself. That's exactly what Russia did.
You seem to be in need of a history lesson. The area of Moscow was part of the Mongol empire. It's suggested that most Russians nowadays have part of Genghis Khan DNA as he has a pretty nicely sized harem - it's said he has 16 million descendants based on genetic analysis. I've lived in the Soviet Union and alongside russians all my life, to call me clueless on the topic just makes me smirk.
This partial mongolian gene also makes Russian very alcoholic types. From the facial features alone i.e. high cheek bones etc. one can make out the Mongolian mix in Russian population. However, Russia is not expansionist, Soviet Union under the commie ideology was. Their main purpose was to make the whole earth a Red Commie trailer park.
with their debt ridden societies and dependence on cheap foreign labor Europe and the US are well on their way to a trailer park society. they don't need a push from the outside.
Um, yeah. Right. Germans were fighting against colonialism against the Jews, and then they were fighting against the Jews in Russia after they invaded, what, a preemtive strike? and now, when the skinheads deface Jewish cemetaries in East Germany, they are railing against what? Jewish colonialism, and the Frenchies are fighting against colonialism by discriminating against the Turkish immigrant population...on and on. Here's a question, mr. potato head - who are the colonial powers? Europeans! And Japanese folks are really fighting against colonial powers now? Cmon. Wake up and smell what you are shovelling.
