    I was talking more in terms of stealing Soviet tech and more importantly - looting Soviet engineers and scientists

      Oh yeah, that happened. I have relatives in the American scientific community and they say that most of the guys there are Asian or Black, and most of the remaining white people were immigrants too. Scientists like to go where the pay is higher, which explains the current influx of Chinese-American scientists returning to China (google the “Los Alamos club”). Also most American adults read below the 6th grade benchmark so there’s that too. Inevitably the brain drain will reverse itself, just wait and see

      US braindrains entire world, recently China is taking back theirs and US squeals like pigs about it (while also at the same time targeting Chinese and American-Chinese scientists for invigilation and suspicion as potential PRC spies).

      Former socialist countries were and still are drained horribly. Every now and then some polish scientists are making some discovery and our media masturbates for months about it, and the effect is always the same: some US corpo buys it for peanuts and either monopolise or make it disappear.
