#1 China says, "Sounds good!"
The Ministry of Natural Resources on February 14 published a new version of its world map – directing a return to using the Chinese names of eight cities and areas occupied by the Russian Empire in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Under Beijing’s new directive, Vladivostok once again is called Haishenwai (meaning Sea Cucumber Bay) while Sakhalin Island is called Kuyedao. The Stanovoy Range is back to being called the Outer Xing’an Range in Chinese.

Ou Hanzong, a Jiangsu-based columnist, said on February 20 that Chinese people has lost 1.7 million square kilometers of territory including what’s now called the Russian Far East region, Mongolia and some areas in present-day Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, to the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union under unequal treaties since the late 19th century.

Ou said the reuse of Chinese names of the Far East cities reminds Chinese people of their wishes to recover the lost territory.

#2 After Russia has been broken up, the world will be a safer place. We'll need to take possession of their nukes and disarm them, but afterwards they won't be able to hurt anyone. No more arming Syria, no more constant aggression on Europe, their resources will be wide open to be plundered. We'll be rich...

#5 No time for that!
The west is too busy oppressing middle class whites.

#6 I can't help but think that if Russia didn't define themselves by their opposition to everyone they might be doing better. Now they've shown their main export, their weapons, are trash (except the AK's). That's gonna hurt when this is all over.

#7 The Russian Federation was always going to die. Whether in Ukraine or at the end of the century when the Russian ethnic group stops being the majority in Russia proper.

Enjoy your new minority status.

#8 Would rather it not break up. I guess it was always a long shot that Russia would democratize and liberalize (in classic sense). It could have happened in the 90's with a lot of guidance and aid from the west. But the USA had the Clintons in charge and Russia was taken over by KGB-mafia clans.
