What the fuck even is Mongolia anymore? I guess they're still kinda nomadic, but they have a capital city. Do they do anything in world politics? Better question: do they do anything?

It's a cool place to get your bike stolen

something something khalin gol something something sino-soviet puppet buffer state something something shanghai cooperation organization

Mongolian cities have empty suburbs called "Yurt Quarters" to enable nomadics among the Mongs to stay in the city and conduct businesses or other activities such as sending a sick relative to a hospital and needing to wait.

I met a guy in Nashville from Mongolia.
Apparently some Christian mission there means some Mongolians learn English and come to the US.

Nope.jpg.

Well, maybe half of Ger quarter residents are nomads in temporary stays in cities.

But many people in Ger quarters actually aren't nomads but simply the poor of Ulaanbaatar. They live in permanent "houses" consisting of a fenced off yard and couple of gers as "rooms" of the house.

Same arrangements are in place in Inner Mongolia.

My uncle went there when he was a banker with some crazy russian billionaires to assist in reviving the populations of prezwalki horses there by flying in specimens from european zoos. He had some crazy stories from mongolia.

tell us some fagit

Only thing I know about Mongolia past being the largest empire know to man is that they had a communist revolution in 1921

too many and too long to bother writing down, but one of em was that they decided that instead of travelling along with the aircraft and the horses they would take jeeps and drive cross country, to experience the landscape. Only the guides couldnt drive properly and while driving at night one of them diseappeared with some of the russian tycoons. The next day they found the car had gotten stuck in quicksand, thankfully some nomad mongolians came by and dragged the car out with their horses. Another was that several former nazi-era german officers and soldiers that had been stationed there chose to remain because they loved the freedom of the steppes so much. He got to hear from one of them personally after a lot of vodka.

Literally WE WUZ KHANS AND SHIT: the country

>Nazi era officers

Did they still believe in all that nazi shit?

About half of their population (1.5 milion) lives in the capital of Ulanbator. While being the 19th largest country by surface area, it has the lowest pop. density by far. Also, about 30% of mongols still live a nomadic life, with horses and shit.

>Nazi era German officers
>in Mongolia

wat

but they literally wuz

i am serious, my uncle didnt say a lot about it but they were from germany and had been stationed there around the time germany lost and the cold war started with the DDR and stuff. They couldve come home but chose not to, since they had grown to love the open plains too much.

they were really old and had married some local girls and gotten families too

they stop chinese expansion into siberia as they have for 850 000 years of existence

Judging by your atrocious grammar, you seem to be that "guy from Mongolia".

>atrocious grammar
Explain

What is the reason of nomad life style? I just can't get why they don't settle and farm some shit. I mean, it's about being incapable of some civilization or what?

decentralisedly farm and organise human cattle
nature of the animal uses up resources incredibly fast thus they have to move to new areas so quickly but now u got nation state boundaries and this sense of correctness from the preciousness of life via this socialist bullshit that came out of germ 200 ago they're now just relegated to a cultural keeppeace, manchuria could of done some real nice expansion out of japan wwii but they got fucked being baited into pretences for complete destruction by stepping onto anglo-preciousness, over expantion as pretence to nukes
t darwin, manipulation of masses into backing usa actions into the pacific
nazi nazi! hitler hitler!
japan! pacific! australia!

>he thinks sedentarism is superior to nomadism

WE WUZ THE BULLS AND SHIT

They have cool dinosaur fossils in the Gobi

Just in case, i would fucking NOT DARE to piss them off.
Imagine some kind of Genghis reencarnation: at first some low end mercenary and ten years later Boom!
The guy is dropping nukes and ebola on any major city

why would you choose to be domesticated by grains when you can ride the steppes like a free man?

The area they live in is shit for civilization, infact thats the reason we cant find any civilization in the eastern part of Russia because its so fucking unlivable around that part of Russia that human natives remained stone age tribes to this very day.

God dam, Mongolia is hella comfy. Even the ghettos look nice.

They're a democracy and very capitalist despite having large, socialist and communist neighbors.

Nah, he's just from Tennessee.

Yes, those crazy primitive steppe riding nomads, wild and free...

I suspect you're among the lot that thinks that the arabs are still living they way they are depicted in "Lawrence of Arabia" (which, for the most part, wasn't even true then), and that Africans all live in mud huts.

Kek, while yes. Mongolia is becoming MORE urbanized, with half their population living in Ulaanbaatar, the other half are still living Nomadic life styles.

Thier second biggest city next to Ulaanbaatar has 80k people..... with the capitol housing over a million.

I found this information after a literal 2 second google search.

...

Aren't they getting colonized by the chinese?

Inner Mongolia has already been colonized. Mongolians are outnumbered by Chinese there by something like 13 to 1.

Wouldn't that be ironic?

No, these suburbs are shanty towns mainly populated by "bankrupt" nomadic herders and their offspring
Nazism is quite popular in Mongolia as they see similarities between their country and post WWI Germany, except instead of Jews they have the Chinese

Yeah, but that's kinda akin to looking at the fact that 20% of all Americans are living outside of urban areas, and assuming all 64 million of said folks are cowboys, cuz, Murika.

(Although I suspect the number that *wish* they were cowboys is well over 150 million.)
