I said that countries in less favourable climate zones can have a really succesful economy and high industrial potential . Because they are specialising in certain areas and are highly competitive there . Finnish Nokia ended making rubber boots and started making cell phones . And they did it without any accumulated wealth from īformer Finnish colonial empireī , nor robbing 3rd world countries . They have high potential because they use their brains , although they have to build factories basicly in the same climate conditions as your 3-brick-thick-walls-factories . So your theory that Russia is doomed without protective measures is BS , because if you are living in unfavourable conditions , you will either adapt or die out . If everyone else in these climate zones can adapt and have good productivities / living standards (without closed economy) why cannot Russia ?
Donīt complain , just invent better insulation from cold and get on with production ....
And I apologise if my posts didnīt make much sense , because Christmas is taking itīs toll .
