>In terms of history, in the past 500 years, Russia has been invaded several times from the west. Specifically, Moscow has been attacked and conquered six times in its history by foreign armies, and usually via the same routes. This is also where geography plays an important role in understanding the Russian invasion. If I was saying to somebody we should invade Russia they would understand that it was a joke, because nobody gets away with invading Russia. Nobody. It never ends well. Russia is not the place people go make a name for themselves as conquerors. It is the place conquerors go to die.
