meshuggener: Do you think it has always been a bad idea to invade Russia? Why or why not?

oldhoss: Yes. Too many fucking bears.
Rook96: Invasion is always a bad idea.
Woelf: Too much landmass
the manatee: Hitler and Napolean would say yes; Genghis Khan would say no.
kowgawd: Yes. Friggin' cold!
pwilz: Well, didn't Ghengis Khan do it with great success?
jessitron: yes
daveroswell: Yeah. Too damn cold up there.
GrimJester: Yes. The cold, the mud, the partisans.
FreeMorpheme: Never start a land war in Asia, my young friend.
Polgara: seems so, as it hasn't been successful very often
vandemonium: General Winter ;o)
Zodgrod: Yes. hard nosed backwater
thespike: yes, it is very big, and full of russkys.
personwholives: Yes, unless you have a large number of very good long range weapons and don't actually have to fight anyone, but in that case, what do you want with russia?
DHEK: I don't know enough about Russia or related war history to say.
Butterbane: VERRRRRY BAD IDEA!
TheArchAngel: too large, dangerous terrain
aleo09: o
puffinge: hey, if they come up on the USA invasion spinner, I'm sure we are going in.
Son of Murray: Yes, because Russia is damn cold.
Lord_Piet: If you are in the posision to invade Russia in diplomacy when they are occupied elsewhere and you got a deal with someone else then its a great idea!
Captain_Physics: Didn't the Mongols do ok?
brainrob: Invading anywhere is a bad idea
Cromaa: We should invade Russia...then we'll have the good vodka!
Spankboy: Three words: winter, winter, winter. Winter bad.
vampywife: i've not really given it much thought, but it could go either way, really. they have lots of people and that would be difficult to work through, but they also have a lot of unhappy people, so it would be possible to work out in our favor.
Lawrence Hung: No, it's not a bad idea. Russia has the largest chunk of land in the world. Why not?
Helenoftroy: You do not ivade Russia during winter.
RyanMC: yes
2ndPlace: Yes. If you take it then it's your problem.
aramis: Because Russia is blessed by god with unforgiving weather and impassable terrain.
DaGen: Yes, you fuckin warmongerer!!!! ;)
bigbadsteve: i may still try it yet, i dont know
Loquutus: History has proven that it doesn't work.
flyinghogfish: Pretty much a bad idea to invade anywhere
ssmooth: Those people have enough problems of their own without somebody else coming in to add to them.
Belash: yes. why would you want to invade russia? is vodka really worth it?
EDS Teioh: nah, it rules, and we get good games out of it. hahahah
ststrat: Yes, because who wants to be in Russia?
obob: As both Napolean and Hitler learned, Russia has always been defended by two of the best Generals anywhere: General Winter and General Mud.
skrutsch: umm, for real?
chad56s: Yes. They don't actually have anything worth invading for. Do they?
Legend Dan: Only in the winter
ValJor: Yes. Because of the cold
scriptorum: Yes, bad idea. They might get mad.
Spielguy: Only as an opening move
Ardos: No, sometimes Russia is ripe for an invasion, and the army bonus that you receive from holding Asia is awesome. We're talking about RISK right?
Lord_Prussian: It is generally just a bad idea to invade
The Unbeliever: 42
djlg: Yes. The evidence of history.
Cavedog_pdx: It can be done. Genghis Khan successfully invaded Russia, but he went in the back way.
darthcliff: Yes. Two reasons: January and February
AWildEep: Yes. History proves it.
Randy Cox: Personally, I wouldn't invade a mini-mart, much less an entire country.
BaSL: Are they planning an invasion in Russia? Do the USA have to invade every country?
Mike A: Yes. Just suppose you succeeded and took over, then what would you do with it? It's not like you can just take Russia home and put it up on the mantel for all to admire. It's way too big for that.
heli: yes, war is bad
skelebone: Invariably, when you invade, they will have the coldest winter they have ever had.
chaddyboy_2000: Ummm, ok.
snoozefest: y; who wants russia?
Spielfreak: Yeah, it's co-oo--oooo-ooold there.
CDRodeffer: I know that *I* wouldn't want to invade Russia.
CortexBomb: On the part of who? Speaking in the present as a pacifist: yes, because war is almost always the wrong solution. Historically speaking: yes, because of the natural terrain advantages that the country has
jttm: Too big?
