Don't shift the goalposts, I've asked for sources on 'A lot of people in Russia died due to US election tampering'

Oh, so queues in modern Russia are 3 hours now? People still can't buy decent food and clothes? They still need to buy grain in US and Canada? I don't think so.

Yep, so the communists which drove USSR to the ground had to get 2nd chance to completely dismantle Russia that time? I'd say that was an interesting possibility.

So when Putin hires US advisors it's normal, but when Yeltsin did it was 'meddling'?

Let's discuss it then, but first I need some sources on 'A lot of people in Russia died due to US election tampering'

I know that a lot of people in Russia survived because of humanitarian aid from US though.

Yes, US cannot be allowed to ruin another country, after what they did to Japan and South Korea.

F-35 uses totally different configuration and 400 million were for further Yak-141 development which Russians botched anyway.

That's just an urban legend though.

Well, if someone is saying'total American hegemony', you probably can see through that right away.

Pointing out facts is biased?

Well, their previous 'Sputnik', the Google alternative (sputnik.ru) failed miserably, so they're trying another one. And besides Chinese vaccine was first.

Food production in USSR wasn't mediated by markets, but by the same central planning. That's why they had food shortages and hour-long queues.

Judging that just several years ago Soviets managed to starve another million of their citizens, I'd say Einstein was utterly naive.

If they really were 'on par' then you won't have issues with your satellites.

Bear in mind that it's a Russian site and they have a huge problem with producing or buying radiation-hardened chips. So it's kinda 'sour grapes' attitude.

His story is factual, but those facts are opposite to the truth.

You conveniently forgot about 5000 chemical warheads, shells or aviation bombs that US troops found in Iraq.

So, next they will invade Poland because so they want a very high-value strategic location and they want a buffer in a kind of DMZ between themselves and NATO? Or Baltic states?

Where they would stop?

And your explanation on the other hand is basically "it's not Russia, because I like Putin".

There were dozens of illogical things Russian government did for decades, and killing opponents (or just innocent people) is among them.

Whataboutism as usual?

Crimea was Ukrainian for last 20 years and before that it was Soviet for 70 years.

And you're wrong about resistance as well.

We're those Russians working in Russia?

And the drain stopped because he worked hard to eliminate poverty and bring stable relations with the rest of the world? Nope.

So brain drain became even more of a problem under his rule.

What's complicated about Crimea?

I think I read similar piece when they tried to shuffle their shooting of MH-17 and point the finger on Ukraine. Turns out to be propaganda as well.

Yeah, attacking all their neighbors, conspiring against rest of them, sending assassins across the globe... What's wrong with that, eh?

If you will March your troops through minefield 'like it's not there' (e.g. Zhukov's revelations) it will definitely lead to losses.

That's not just an idea. Order No. 270 ordered to shoot any deserters (or anybody who's not 'organizing resistance') on the spot and promised imprisonment for families of those who surrendered to the Germans. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Order_No._270

That's why Soviets lost millions to several famines?
