good weapons

and bad people?


People should investigate, where the roots of some of the technology that they use come from. A lot of Russian innovation in technology, medicine found its way to the West, but as USSR didn't allow individual inventors to take patents,  these inventions were "adopted" by Western scientists and with minor modifications promoted as their own.

I'm sure the USSR would approve. Share and share alike.

After WW2, the USSR somehow had ICBMs at a time when the "more advanced" US was forced to rely on planes with nukes constantly circling around the USSR. How was that possible? Easy, the USSR "shared" the German technology from them.

They have their land, right down to the center of the earth. The real question is, Which of them are going to benefit from what they have?

Russia after USSR's collapse was in a wholesale destruction mode by the Western transnats and local criminal barons, oligarchs, like Khodorkovskij, so innovation was understandably crippled. Come back and ask this question in 5 year's time, once Russia is back on track - it's already going in leaps and bounds, if you care to read Russian papers (Western journals don't re-print/translate).

Russian aviation (this year Russian Far Aviation celebrates 100 year anniversary) was leading. In USSR there were 4 competing construction bureau, with many brilliant airplanes. This was largely destroyed during Yeltsin/USA reign, and the innovation in the aviation industry is basically being rebuilt from scratch now.

PS: What things does USA have? I almost never see "Made in USA" on any of the products. Wink
PSS: About currency. Did you see how Norwegian krone developed recently? Hint: the same way as rouble, yet the country is for some reason rated as AAA.

Come on, guys.
You know what I mean.
As you can find lots of things which made in China.
And use lots of things made by USA or service by USA as google.
And Japan's camera……。
I only just want to say, Russian is far from a dominant country。
It's just a Third rate country.
And that why I despise Putin.
  

fully agree, but also russian are good at cosmic odyssey, or used to be in cold war... machines were stolen from europe, like fiat == vaz, and so on..

Cheap resources due to large land, which gives a lot of money for war machines. This country could be nr1, but we see what we have..
Russia has good old literature and beautiful chicks

Except oil and weapon, what things does Russian really have?
We all see that Russian is really weak in recently oil price crash.
The exchange rate of ruble and the inflation in Russian as follow the  oil price crash imply that Russian is just a third - rate country who depends on selling cheap resources.
After the Soviet Union collapsed, the Economic of Russian growth just benefit from the oil price risen.
