The Russians were actually way ahead of us during the space race, especially their landers which went to planets we never even got too. The downfall of all that involves Russian beuracrats hard lining the wrong side of the computer race which they were told, many thousands of times, wasn't the right path. They wanted to put more money into the outdated working system instead of RnD and western computing methods started to bypass them by incredible speeds. Pretty interesting stuff to look up if you're a fawkin NERDsome questions for Putin:
1-What's up with the space race? Why were the Russians always the Washington Generals to NASA's Harlem Globetrotters?
2-Why did USSR stop at Berlin? Why did the Soviets bleed 20+ million deaths in WW2, to have USA reap all the West European rewards?
3-Why can't Russia blitzkrieg thru Ukraine?
4-Why did you want to be part of NATO (up until 2007)?
5-Why does Russia have HIV rates higher than many African countries?
6-Why is Russia's life expectancy the lowest for a Europ-oid nation?
7-Why was the "pinnacle" of Russian civilian technology, the shitty "Lada"
8-What does Russia offer the world, that the West cannot? (this will be the good one)
We like to flag wave and all but their landers really were leaps and bounds ahead of ours and our moon landing was retarded compared to the shit they had already done
