Tell that to the USSR
Never heard of it
Russia is still trying to be that empire shit though, it just aint going so hot.
Russia is still on the map... before the USSR was the Tsar... but it was still Russia the whole time, and it's still Russia today.
America ain't going anywhere.
Russia is not the USSR. Read a history book my dude. The USSR was much more than just Russia.
But Tsarist Russia, the USSR and modern Russia all believed themselves to be Russians, living in Russia.
The USSR was a system, countries change, but it was all Russia. You said "read a book my dude" (which was a lame thing to say)... But if you were to take your own advice and picked up a book on the history of RUSSIA (the country)... It would include all these era as sections of that book.
Because they're all parts of the history, of the country called Russia. It didn't disappear just because it changed. It's a landmass.
So maybe take your own advice here. Pick up a book on the country... See that it's still there "my dude". ๐
Is Italy the same thing as the Roman Empire?
Here's my exact statement from my comment which this thread is a child of:
"Country's don't disappear so easily."
You want to talk to OP about the "American Empire"... And how you all want it to stick around and keep invading countries for oil. That's your call, but it doesn't relate to the above statement.
You can have your own thread about that, but my statement was about countries. Not empires.
Countries like actual landmasses with coordinates and stuff? I don't think that was ever really in question.
So now we've established the comment was about countries, and you don't need to question it... I guess we're done here then ๐
