    Ah wow, interesting. I’m still extremely skeptical Russia pulled it off with this launch. They’re still fighting wars by throwing wave after wave of human cannon fodder towards frontlines. They’re far more rudimentary than we’ve all been told imo. Mass corruption at every level causes mass incompetence

      Are you sceptical about the part where Russia can put a satellite into orbit or the part where they can make a nuclear bomb?

        The part where they can put a a nuclear bomb on a satellite. Or that it would work even if they somehow pulled it off

            No read that again buddy. We blew up a nuke in space. We didn’t send it on a rocket attached to a satellite

              Do you know of some special secret law of thermodynamics that prevents us from putting a nuclear bomb in orbit?

          During the Cold War, Russia launched quite a few nuclear powered satellites, and I mean real fission reactors, not just RTGs. Apparently they’re still up there and possibly still generating power. So it’s pretty much a proven fact.

      They’re still fighting wars by throwing wave after wave of human cannon fodder towards frontlines.

      There have been some gradual changes in the last 2 years.

      Mass corruption at every level causes mass incompetence

      There are still people competent, willing to win a war or with some perverted understanding of patriotism. Others steal - they make do with what they have. That’s not negligible.

      Also mass corruption is present not only in Russia.

      They’re far more rudimentary than we’ve all been told imo.

      That can also be said about Israel, for example.

      I think we may find out one day that complacency plus corruption have eaten not only Russian military.

      Also you are doubting that Russia has launched a few sats? It’s still one of the countries with expertise and ability. Nothing weird about this.
