Cultures of the North

My ancestral family on my mom's side comes from Canada. The thing about countries of the far north is that the numbers there have never really been extensive.

A few years ago, I remember a Russian posting on a message board:

" Our soldiers no longer have the icy veins that are seen in [cold-war] era movies."

Socialism has pretty much collapsed Russia. Oh sure, you'll hear about reports about how their economy is improving, but with just a 1.2 total fertility rate, they also rely on immigration.

The biggest advantage that Muslims are looking for is in numbers. That's why, with the exception of al quedia, they are being patient and will things run their course.

It's going to be an uphill for the Europeans, though. And they really brought this on themselves. That's what happens when you elect secular progressives, as Bill O'Reilly would say.

You just can't sustain a military or economy with no people, and the one's coming in don't agree with democracy.

There's a clear difference between, say the Netherlands, and Finland though. If things go well for radical Islam with a few breaks, we could see the Dutch and Belgian culture added to the fossil record.

Finland has been a strong country, but do they still have the resilency of WWII? Many Europeans do not. The problem is that Europeans are too busy enjoying freedom, taking it for granted, just like the Romans did.

This conquest has been going on for decades. In the 1970s, Muslim nations made a deal with European countries during the oil embargo: in exchange for spreading the Arabic culture (code for Islam), they would send them oil.
