    Best part about this is that for Russia to become competent requires a total 180 of their culture. They need to encourage freedom of thought, questioning authority, and the courage and capability to react independently. Until they become better people, their military and industry will always suck.

      The other issue is that a lot of these “better people” left the country ages ago

      Yeah none of that will ever happen under pooty poot or his lackeys, and I don’t see the people rising up anytime soon.

        Well they rise up until they mysteriously fall out of a window.

          As terrible as it is, I’m at least glad Russia has given us so many reasons to use the word ‘defenestration’.
