China Refuses To Supply Aircraft Parts To Russia

[David's faith]

I just find it bewildering that Russia, the first country that sent a person to the moon and is able to maintain international space stations does not have the capacity to manufacture aircraft parts for airplanes??!! And has to rely on third-world countries like Turkey for aircraft parts??!! And a country that can't even manufacture its aircraft tires or tires for armoured vehicles thinks it can invade other countries and win?? You can't even fly your own freaking planes!!!! What happened to all of Russia's manufacturing? What happened to all of Russia's industries? Russia's manufacturing used to be solid. North Korea still flies planes made in Russia. It seemed like today all Russia can do is to export oil and gas and be a resource economy. What's it doing besides that, besides arts? It has such a huge vast land.

This war is also revealing the danger of over-reliance on foreign suppliers and outsourcing too much of your industries in this global economy. When pushes come to shovel, this is what can happen to you. Yeah it's great when you have an army of staff that waits on you hand and foot and does everything for you but once that army of staff quits on you, then you are screwed and won't even be able to survive.

Well they are growing in the IT and cybersecurity bus.

When exactly did Russia/USSR ever have a strong military?

They outlasted Nazi's thanks to their bitter cold winters and Germany having a eastern and western front to do battle on.

Reagan then bankrupted them (not a hard thing to do with a corrupt inefficient economic system) by outspending USSR on bombs, bullets and battleships.

Last 20 years Oligarch's outspent their military on Yachts!!!!!!!

Now they can even get a close neighbor to roll over on them. Suckas.
