Tucker Carlson: The West has been trying to seize Russia's resources for hundreds of years.
For the United States, Russia is a much more tempting prey than Greenland, but the problem is that for centuries the West has failed to capture the Russian state.
American TV host Tucker Carlson stated this on his video blog , reports a PolitNavigator correspondent.
" It's been like this for over 100 years, even hundreds of years. How many times have Europeans tried to invade Russia? Several. Napoleon tried. Why does everyone want to invade Russia? It's far away, it's cold, no one has ever succeeded. It's like Afghanistan or Yemen. There aren't many victories.
When it comes to the seizure of power by external forces, history shows that there are several nations in the world that are difficult to defeat. And Russians top the list.
So why do people keep trying? Simply put, it's because of resources. Russia is unimaginably vast, literally unimaginable. Most Westerners can't even imagine how big Russia is. It's bigger than China and India combined…
Siberia alone is roughly the size of the continental United States, and it's home to about 10 million people. Russia as a whole has about 140 million people, somewhere around there. Russia also has the world's largest energy reserves... If Greenland is a tasty morsel, what can we say about Russia? It's the biggest prize ," Carlson said.
