      Yeah, but they haven’t had it as long. The ineffectuality grows over time until you have an F35 on top of your plane and tank graveyards.

        Yeah all of the Soviet infrastructure and production facilities didn’t just all spontaneously disappear the moment Russia became capitalist.

      As usual it is a question of control. In USA, presenting MIC as holding the leash of the entire state (or, one of the three leashes) would not be an exaggeration. So who would even dare to control anything when Pentagon never passed an audit?

      Russia most probably controls their industry tighter.
