  • Siberia is actually 3/4ths of Russia’s landmass. The northern parts are taiga, which are giant uninterrupted forests. The shores of the Arctic Ocean are mostly tundra. In the southern parts the taiga gives way to steppes.

    In the northern parts the climate has warm but quite short summers and long cold winters. In the southern part, where most of the population lives, they have the same climate as southern Canada/New England just less humid. The Western parts are also covered by warm winds that originate from the Middle East and hence have higher temperatures than their more Eastern areas. For reference in Novosibirsk, which is the largest city the average yearly summer temperatures reach 25 degrees Celsius but temperatures can also spike to as high as 38 degrees.

    So yeah Siberia is not all some barren tundra as most people imagine.



  • Sadly it won’t happen. Sure some won’t vote Republican in the next election because gas is expensive or some other shallow reason like that. Then a Democrat comes in, bring some superficial sense of normalcy to the state of things. Then in the next election they will vote Republican again and you’ll go through the same shit all over. This has been the cycle since Bush’s term? Probably earlier.

    American politics won’t change without deep structural reforms and I don’t see those happening any time soon.
