A larger target to attack.

I am aware of your country's history.

Yeah, but more resources def. counts for something, as well. I mean, they mine for diamonds, for pete's sake.

And they used to pour a lot of money into programmes like this, to show the West how great they were and what have you. Not dissing it though, they achieved a lot, just saying that a lot money used to go into stuff like this, before it all collapsed. It just saddens me that those people cannot catch a break - first serfdom, than the October revolution and now oligarchs...

At the time, the U.S was not struggling for materials either.

I find the plight of the Middle Easterners far more interesting then the remnants of Soviet thugs in East Europe politics.

Nobody said they were

Interesting isn't exactly the word I would've chosen. And I wasn't complaining personally, my life's bitchin', dude

Seriously, though, ordinary folks in Russia (I'm not Russian) have had it tough for centuries. Doesn't mean it's all sunshine and roses for people in the Middle East. There's more than enough injustice and suffering in this world to go around.

LOL. If they did I think Russia would win best troll of the 21st century.

We don't disagree.
