This is hilarious. Russians are not Caucasians? Perhaps, some of the groups of people of mixed ethnicities, probably East towards Siberia have Russian and Mongoloid blood. But many Russians have Scandanavian blood as pointed out. To say that Central Asian people can't be Caucasian is absurd. Caucasians are people who originated from the Caucus Mountain area, which is clearly IN Central Asia. MANY Afghans are Caucasian. Some Punjabi people from India and Pakistan are also caucasian. Iranians are also Caucasian. Pick up any websters dictionary and look up the word Caucasoid and Caucasian and see what I'm talking about. Blonde hair isn't a "Caucasoid" feature at all, necessarily, it is more linked with a Nordic background. Norse are also Caucasian Aryan, like Everyone I have mentioned above.


<< Cyberian,

the origins of russians ethnicity is debatable at best.
Many Moscovites have Blue eyes which is distinctively a scandinavian trait, caucasian.
Also, blonde hair is not uncommon at all. These are caucasian characteristics. Closer towards vladivostok and that area, you have more asian characteristics naturally thanks to mongol invasion of greater russia and years of racial inter-breeding.

*edit* Not to mention those people from afghanistan, kazakhstan, tajikstahn etc etc which add a huge amount of different ingredients into the pot.

Actually Aryans were people that settled in northern India and Iran not the stereotypical blonde haired, blue eyed Nordic individuals. Read all about it here if interested.

Russian women are really s**y and what makes them even more is that they don't understand any other language other than russian. And all I know of Russian is 'chae' for tea. It will definitely be fun, though I didn't like the roads/pollution etc. when I was in MOCKBA(Moscow).

I'd like to think I'm safe where I'm at. Living in BFE has its advantages. And since 90% of the world doesn't know Toledo, Ohio exists, I'm sure we will be quite safe from your pitiful band of rebels. An entire legion of my best troops awaits them.

Ack! Star Wars reference! Ack!

Unfortunatly, I also live east of chicago. So the radiation cloud would drift over me. Not to mention the massive radiation cloud from the west coast. I think I remember seeing a map on PBS's site that you could pick a bomb and a city, and see how safe you were relative to that bomb's blast site.
