Putin, Russia and the Great Architects of the Universe

The amount of fantasy and wishful thinking in that is amazing.

Russia is losing military equipment far faster than they can manufacture it. Ukraine is blowing up russian factories and oil infrastructure left and right. You have less of the invincible SU57s in your entire air force than the US has F-35s on a single aircraft carrier. The US is already building it's 6th generation fighter, while russia struggles to even create a single squadron of their fourth and a half generation fighter. We've heard that china has ballistic missiles filled with water instead of fuel. I suspect the situation in russia is far worse, with massive budget cuts and corruption, it wouldn't be a surprise if a large portion of your antique ballistic missile collection doesn't work. You stated yourself, the poverty level in russia is at an all time high. Unrest in the russian people, as demonstrated during the elections, is at an all time high.

As I've said to you before, Putin is destroying his beloved russia.

I started reading your impenetrable wall of text but gave up.

oday I want to introduce you to the thoughts of one of Kot’s friends, Vyacheslav Smolenko. Smolenko is the author of Russia's main rocket fuel, former director of the Ukrainian Yuzhmash plant, which produced space rockets, Ukrainian politician, laureate of the Government of the Russian Federation Prize in the field of science and technology, a person who knows a lot.

That was a very interesting read.

Almost like the "Hidden Hand" posts from this thread:

Window of Opportunity

Now *that* was a wild and fun ride!

Being a cranky old bastard sometimes has it's advantages.

Not too many, but a few.

Hi RT.
TLDR :

... P.S. We have identified the main problem for the whole world - the uncontrolled printing of dollars and securities on a computer. ...

Well he got that one right !

Screw their debt-slavery system !

That was fascinating indeed, thank you for posting it! I would definitely like to read Mr. Smolenko's thoughts regarding Donald Trump and our Presidential elections in November.

I would also appreciate knowing opinions of such Russian thinkers regarding the excessive immigration being allowed into Western countries by Western Governments.
