Level 26

Dec 4, 2014

20/20 with 1:46 lw=eft. To help you, Poland is one as there is a little segment of land owned by Russia right next to Poland, and borders Lithuania to. Hope you find these two answers helpful in this quiz.

norway!!!

+2

Level 59

Sep 5, 2015

If you say in the description on the main page that "Sharing a land border with Russia hasn't been so great lately", then you could also say that "Having oil reserves hasn't been so great lately". I thought it's a quiz page, not a political one...

+2

Level 83

Sep 7, 2015

Countries have been getting invaded for their oil for a very long time, not just lately, and by many different nations, including Russia. Then again I guess it's been bad news to share a land border with Russia for a very long time, as well. Longer than it's been bad news to have oil, actually.

+1

Level 70

May 8, 2022

We all know the old trope about the Iraq war being all about oil. But can you name another oil-rich country that the US has invaded? Because if that were the sole motivation, why didn’t they invade and occupy Kuwait, with its oil reserves of 100bn barrel reserves (next to Iraq’s 143 billion) and the relative ease of invading a tiny country? Or Canada, with its 171 billion? Better still, Venezuela! The largest known oil reserves in world, within the Monroe Doctrine sphere of influence and with a similarly moustachioed loon in charge. Could it be that, to borrow a tried and tested phrase: “it’s a little more complicated than that?”

+1

Level 11

Sep 7, 2015

Got all but Georgia and Poland.

+2

Level 56

Dec 11, 2015

Russia does not share borders with the four small Asiatic republics: Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan. And why? Because Kazakhstan sits on top of all of them like a giant hat.

Red Machine in 1905. Ok.

+1

Level 83

Never heard of a "Red Russian War Machine" before. If you mean the Red Army of the Soviet Union established in 1917, fine, the other two things I listed still apply.

The Poland–Russia border seems to be only 232 km /144 mi long.

+1

Level 63

I highly doubt the border length with Poland!

Seems to me like the 432 km listed is the entire length of the border of Kaliningrad oblast, not just the part with Poland.

Level 47

Aug 1, 2022

Perhaps after the quiz answers are reveal, please add the clarification "Border between Russia and Ukraine is based on both deJure and deFacto, consistent with current jetPunk policy, with Crimea deFacto part of Russia and breakaway provinces of the Donbass part of Ukraine"

Pray for people of Ukraine and the rank-and-file soldiers on both sides. Contribute what you can to vetted charitable causes to ameliorate suffering.
