Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

More challenging than USA sure, I'll concede that. But more challenging than Russia - no. Sorry, but I'm going to have to disagree here. You'll notice a good chunk of Russian territory is either heavily forested, swamped or in the same mountains as China. We don't share a border for nothing.
And the so-called European part of Russia (west of Ural), where a good chunk of agriculture is taking place, is known as the "area of difficult agriculture" for ages. It's still used to farm, mind, but even the relatively comfortable areas around Volga and Oka rivers have a soil layer only about 40 cm deep.
You know which areas had top tier agriculture environment? The ones no longer in Russia - Ukraine, Moldova, even bits of Belarus. That's where you get quality black soil, warmer average climate and all that.
