Is it possible that Russia conquer the whole Europe after US fail?

Maybe all Europeans should learn to speak Russian.

Yes, it is not only possible, but almost certain.

One important detail though: the entity that will conquer Europe will not be the Russian Federation, but rather the Russian Province of China.

Hence, Russians and Europeans should start to learn Chinese straight away.

Do you speak any European languages? Do you work in NATO? Yes?
Then join KGB right now! We need YOU! Support Russia now and live a good peaceful life afterwards! We take care about our agents!
Look at Putin, and his ex-classmates! They are doing good!
Be one of us, support Mother Russia and rule Europe!

The best strategy for Russia to conquer the whole Europe:

1: first, they should conquer the whole Scandinavia
2: then marsh russian troops from Denmark to Spain in order to occupy Germany,the Netherlands,France,Spain,Portugal and Gibraltar
3: third, Russian troops from Russia to occupy Romania,Hungary,Slovenia and Greece,later Italy and Switzerland

Finally Russian troops occupy Great Britain and Ireland.

Much better for Russia to join the EU and ally itself with Western Europe against China. Maybe Russia can even join the EU and perhaps the Eurozone.

With any luck, Russia could join NATO. NATO could be repurposed as an alliance against China rather than against Russia.

Yes, it is not only possible, but almost certain.

One important detail though: the entity that will conquer Europe will be the Russian Federation with China as one of its republics.

Hence, Chinese and Europeans should start to learn Russian straight away.

Actually, China is buying up large parts of Russia. Perhaps Russians and Europeans should start learning Chinese?

Not to mention China own's a large amount of USA's public debt.

Perhaps a war is inevitable, in medium/long terms, between China and Russia, and the "West" (Europe, Commonwealth, USA)?.. China's development relies in a expansionist policy, peaceful for time being (exports). Yet they'll reach a non plus ultra sooner or later (both from an overproduction crisis, and from lack of available fuel), and then their expansionism will show an evil and violent face. As many other autocratic regimes have done, Beijing will deal with their future internal crisis generating external crisis, criating external enemies.

Also in the West there's some apreension, as more and more people realises China is poluting the world, both in figurated (flooding every nation in Earth with low quality, rough imitations of westerner products), and literal meanings (environment polution).

I think the first decade of the century was lost in cowboy-like adventures in Middle-East, when the most significant geopolitical fact of our days is the ascent of China. After all, radical Muslims only will do us what we allow them to do; their threat is real but minor. China, indeed, is gaining power as West's real contender.

What do you think?

in its entire history, besides countries like Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgystan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan what other countries did in fact Russia conquered? It was not able to conquer Afghanistan and you speak about Europe? That's a joke! Russia is very weak and it was always like that. The fact that it very often showed the muscles towards the other proved exactly its weakness. In its history each time when it tried to conquered other European countries, it lost. When it succeeded, it happens only in agreement with either Great Britain, France, Germany or even USA. It never succeeded alone, not even when extended its Soviet influence over eastern Europe. It has been done within the acceptance of UK and USA.

Poland, Finland, Sweden, beat it up. It has called for Romania's help to beat the Turks in 1877. Russia is a bluff, nothing more. China could beat Russia only with the taxi drivers, let's be honest! Russia made a practice of showing off as big power just because it is weak, and it is afraid of the others. Russians are the worst fighters ever; the Polish people know what I am talking about!

Ideally, the Muslims and the West will unite with Russia, India, and Japan as allies against China, should China become aggressive.

Russia's great conquests amounted mostly to isolated little Siberian and Central Asian tribes and vast expanses of empty wasteland.

Russia is the most vulnerable country to China simply because they are so corrupt that you could literally buy Siberia. Their nukes are rendered useless by their own treachery. In case anybody is not aware, on the list of most corrupt countries Russia ranks near Sierra Leone, Burkina Faso and Afghanistan.

Russia reached its peak of international influence when USSR was in charge. Back then the sphere of influence of the Russians covered from Vladivostok to Berlin, which quite impressive. They will not match that level of power anymore . I think that US hegemony will last several centuries more, so relax and enjoy.
