Imagine if these chimps just sat on their easily defended position and played the economy game. What could have been.

Other than a few forays into Central Asia, sitting on their position is what they did.

They took a strictly defensive position after the Crimean war and even then they were roped into kraut autism due to Germany being aggresive, no timeline exists where Europe remains dominant without removing German aggression

Not when it truly mattered

>Not when it truly mattered
When?

>>17977647
When they risked everything to white knight a foreign country

That's exactly what they did. Are you from an alternate universe?

>>17977650
You mean when Germany declared war on them?

>bro just lose all credibility on the world stage and let the second sickman of Europe conquer your allies
That also literally falls into your/OP’s “defended position”, ww1 was ultimately a war of aggression waged by the Austro-Hungarians egged on by the Germans

The Soviet Union was not sitting on its ass developing their economy.

LMAO how many Russian bases are there around America/western Europe?

>>17977770
Anon.. OP specifically posted the Russian EMPIRE lmao, commies were gonna fuck it up no matter what

>>17977774
They would've been no revolution if they developed their economy and liberalized.

>>17977778
I meant in regards to just the Soviet Union, commies cant into economy unless they essentially become fascist like the Chinese

>>17977520 (OP)
>economy
What economy?

>>17977658
>your allies
what are you talking about schizo?

>>17977778
>They would've been no revolution if they developed their economy
Russian economy and industry was rapidly developing, only people uneducated on this topic claim otherwise
>and liberalized
Russia liberalized in 1905, it's only made things worse

bruh

>Russia liberalized in 1905,
It did not. The reason why Russia failed is because Nicholas retardedly held on to the concept of absolutist power, and only gave in after extreme evens such as a 1905 revolution. If he wasn't retarded and would've created a proper parliamentary republic then he could've avoided the revolt.
The reason why the 1917 revolution happened was because the 1905 concessions were not enough, in addition to WW1
