  1. Decades from now, we'll see if this thesis is correct or not. In the meantime however, Russia is engaged in a simmering war with Ukraine in the Donbas region, located in eastern Ukraine. This war has been the most violent seen in Europe in the 21st century and has been going on for well over 7 years now, with historical causes that go back even further. I created a 26 minute long documentary explaining the entire course of the conflict and it's available to watch right now exclusively on Nebula at this link: https://bit.ly/3fs3n0D If that sounds like something you'd be interested in watching, go ahead and check it out and sign up for the CuriosityStream/Nebula bundle deal which is running a massive 41% discount through the end of May, which is only $11.79 for an entire year of both CS and Nebula with access to 3 exclusive RLL documentaries so far. Here's the link for that deal, and thanks: https://curiositystream.com/?coupon=reallifelore

  2. The West has been trying to invade Russia for centuries. He rewrote the history of Russia, and now people in the West live in complete deception about who they are, who Russia is. Russia is the oldest and strongest civilization on the planet. Many myths of the West are based on the realities of Russian life. Only in these myths are the mythical 300 Spartans, but in reality it is the routine of the Russian military. Where millions of hordes of orcs are reflected by one small group of people who own most of the planet. Why do you think that is? Because that's right, a big soul.

    The next invasion of Russia by NATO and Western countries is 2014. The rest of the above is true.

  4. It won't happen because their soil will be poisoned by radiation for millions of years to come. They are always threatening to unleash nuclear anihihalation and will end up being victims of their greed.

  5. Bizarre video – let’s just ignore the fact that Russia’s population is shrinking and sinking rapidly, not to ignore the fact that their war on Ukraine is destroying untold numbers of young men, i.e. potential fathers. In 1993 Russia’s population was 148.3 million. It is now 144 million in 2020 and declining every year. This a figure that doesn’t take into account battlefield deaths, out migration, and the natural decline that population all over the world are experiencing. A fertility rate of 1.49 doesn’t help. The largest population segment in modern day Russia is little old ladies and they ain’t building anything in Siberia, and they’ll be the 1st to tell you that by waving a frying pan in your face. Furthermore, there are many Africans who would far sooner roast in hell than build a Soviet style apartment in Irkutsk. I could be wrong.

  6. Climate change isn't going to make Russians smarter and less of the suicidal angry drunk. Russia's goose is cooked and their decline is baked in, even if winters are still a thing.

  7. One thing to note is that not all soils are created equal. Soil quality in Siberia is significantly worse on average than the current agricultural areas of Russia.

  8. Just about as misinformed as possible. To start with the maps used for the movement of climate niches is an extreme interpetation. For example the middle of the optimal climate niche does not move to the middle of Canada in most projections but to over the Great Lakes, which means both Russian and Canada will do better but the US will have to adjust but will be fine. So will Europe although it will move further north in Europe. Australia will have to adjust as will Japan but agiain ok. India will be in serious trouble and so will Africa and South Americaa, particularly Brazil. Secondly what good is all that oil and gas if you cannot use it We will have to be off fossil fuels in the next 25 years so no there is no great benefit. Also Europe is no longer nearly as highly dependent on Russia for gas or oil. Russia with a declining population from the current 145 million will be in no position to defend and control all that territory. Look at the Chinese climate niche. currently it has one of the three large optimal niches in its north east. That niche moves into Russia. what the chance Russia would be able to defend eastern Siberia with only a population of a few million in the east and a very large already Chinese population when China feels it has to move north. Then add the incompetent and corrupt Russian government. The outlook for Russia not so good.

  9. It's going to take an awful lot of climate change to help Russia. Even when ice melts, they'll have limited ports for military use. They'll also have massive flooding. They are far from self-sufficient, nor will they have the foreign military presence the US has. These are the traits of a superpower.

  10. The Arctic region is warming the rest of the world is not! This video has the United Nations Climate Change disclaimer. Global warming was officially stated at 1.1°C in 1991 and 1.06°C in 2022. There is no mechanism that would allow greenhouse gas behavior to cause global warming.

    The back of the United Nation's IPCC science report states it took its greenhouse gas samples at 20,000 meters altitude where it is common high school level knowledge there is no greenhouse radiant energy. This is typical practice for deceptive marketing to state legal data transparency protecting the perpetrators from fraud prosecution. The IPCC has been transparent with its data acknowledging it is not dealing with active greenhouse gases.

    Earth's greenhouse effect is frequently used as a primary example to high school students of a system always in saturation from the strong greenhouse gas water vapor absorbing all the greenhouse radiant energy from the earth with greenhouse gases within 20 meters of the surface that is all around us everyday and can't have its overall effect changed. There is no further greenhouse radiant energy to interact with greenhouse gases. At 1% average tropospheric water vapor over 99% of earth’s greenhouse effect is from water vapor. Water vapor would hold earth's greenhouse effect in saturation if it were the only greenhouse gas in the atmosphere.

    Arctic warming is taking place with the proving mechanism being warm Atlantic Ocean waters migrating deeper and more frequently into the Arctic Ocean warming it and the region. That warmer water is causing a few weeks less of reflective snow and ice coverage resulting in more solar heat gain to the Arctic region surface.

    Atmospheric CO2 levels of 1200 ppm about three times what they are today would greatly invigorate C3 plants the majority of plant life on earth greatly greening the planet.

    0.4% of the atmosphere is CO2 and on average 1% is H20 water vapor. (1% H20)/(0.4% CO2) = 25. Water vapor is 25 times more present in the atmosphere on average than CO2. Water vapor has an CO2e of 18, 18 X 25 = 450 CO2e total for water vapor to 1 CO2e for CO2.

    The Earth’s oceans have 3-1/2 million sea floor volcanic vents warming the water and changing it’s chemistry that have not been systematically accounted for.

  11. Climate change will not make Russia a superpower again if Russia doesn't survive intact as a political entity from Europe to the Bering Strait. It is very unlikely that Russia will continue to exercise sovereignty over Siberia. Over the next 20 years the disintegration that started with the dissolution of the USSR likely will continue as non-Russian people and places long subjugated by Russia either rise up and split off, or else a foreign state (possibly China) gains control of Siberia.

  12. Northern U.S. and Canada would do well too. But the issue with Russia is continental weather. I actually saw charts it would become too hot and inhospitable, and probably have wildfires to rival California’s.

  13. This prediction is FAR from guaranteed Russia has a dramatically declining population and they will need an influx of immigrants. But as they have both an oppressive political leadership and a tyrannical oligarchy in the private sector ..this is far from likely.
