Actually, by the time the New French trade took off, Russia was running out of furs. The Russians pursued animals east to the Pacific, after all.
Okay, but the French literally dealt with nearly no Russian competition.

Which is why they will never have friends. It is better to be respected than feared, for if you are feared and you show weakness, all those you have bullied will turn on you. If you're respected, all those who serve you might be willing to help you out in your time of need (or might not).
Yeah, too bad Dark Age Europe didn't have any power projection to invade Scandinavia and crush the Vikings were they lived.
People often get vikings and Norse mixed up. A viking was a Norse pirate, to go a-viking meant to go pirating and pillaging. This practice faded as the Norse became more civilized, much later than the rest of Europe because they had never been touched by Romans and were somewhat remote anyway. The belief that all Norse were pirates has stemmed from people thinking that the "Great Heathen Army" was more organized than it was, I would consider it more of a horde.

No, they just don't bother differentiating between the two. Yes, I'm aware the word Viking is translated into something along the lines of raiding. If anything, it's just generalizing the whole thing.
I wonder how well they'd do in a Europe where the whole population war armed. Right to bear arms (or arm bears) if you will. Every villager with a pike would probably end up with a lot of dead villagers, but not before they gnaw the Vikings to death through attirition.
Given that this is the Middle Ages, I suspect that genocide would be on the menu, perhaps similar to what Karl der Grosse did to the pagan Saxons.
