One of Geopolitical Futures analysts, Ekaterina Zolotova, posted this article, (Since this is a paid site, I can't link it for you), Rocket Launch Exposes Russia’s Technology Gaps, saying:
The space industry is a bellwether of Moscow’s technological development and import substitution efforts. Russia on Thursday successfully test-launched a heavy-lift rocket called the Angara-A5, its first space rocket developed after the collapse of the Soviet Union. Though the Kremlin has touted it as a success, the event was plagued by several setbacks. The launch at the Vostochny Cosmodrome was initially planned for December 2023 but was postponed. It was rescheduled for April 9 but canceled at the last minute. (Officials said there was a failure of the pressurization system of the rocket’s central block oxidizer tank.) It was postponed again the following day, due to technical issues, before the rocket was finally launched on April 11. This case highlights Moscow’s challenges in the face of Western sanctions, especially in technology-heavy sectors such as the space industry.
It's clear sanctions will work, if they're adhered to strictly. However, there's really more involved than sanctions here. Entirely too many forget Russia's technological advances were so often stolen from the United States. During the first Iraq war it was made clear their best technology, with which they'd supplied Saddam Hussein, was at best second class against American technology.The same applies to China right now. As a general rule, if these central planning tyrannies can't steal it, they don't have it, since their very system is predicated on going along to get along Lysenkoism. Great technological advances come about by bucking the system, and challenging consensus, and that can get you killed in these nations.
Make no mistake, if Oppenheimer was a Russian scientist, and doing what he
was doing, he would have joined the ranks of
Willi Munzenberg, Otto Katz, and Leon Trotsky in short order. All good commies who ran afoul of Stalin, who seemed to think his most ardent commie supporters needed purging occasionally.
Having said all that, right now the U.S. Military is in sad shape unable to even supply spare parts to keep ships afloat, and planes in the air, or even recruit sufficient manpower as a result of the destructive thrust of the Obama administration, and made vastly worse by Biden.
Perhaps we need another HUAC (run then by Democrats) to go after Hollywood again, and another Senate McCarty style hearing to go after traitors in the government!
McCarthy may have been a liar, a drunk, and a nut, but he was right. He just didn’t know it. The release of the VENONA intercepts in 1996 proved it. However, FDR, Truman, and Eisenhower had access to that intel. Based on that, we now have to conclude FDR was in point of fact a traitorous co-conspirator with these communist infiltrators, since all those government agencies he created were all infiltrated by communists, socialists, and fellow travelers. FDR's government is considered the most heavily infiltrated government int history of the world, and he had to know it based on VENONA intercepts alone.
But Truman and Eisenhower, both of whom had to know what was happening, did very little to purge them. As a result, those who infiltrated the OSS just moved over into the CIA.
The federal government, academia, the media, Hollywood, the military, and even American industry has now been thoroughly infested with the philosophical progeny of those traitors, which should convince everyone that technological theft is not only still going on, I’m convinced its now worse than ever.
Hollywood is by far the the dumbest bunch of nitwits in America, and has always been so. On April 9, 2024, Michael Flores published this piece, Hollywood Once Applauded Russian Collusion, saying:Remember how outraged celebrities were believing that Putin and Trump were working together? Where is the outrage when Hollywood does the collusion? “Donald Trump is committing Treason against The United States of America,” tweeted director Rob Reiner a few months back. “He has turned the world’s oldest Democracy into a wholly owned subsidiary of Vladimir Putin.” A beneficiary of Hollywood’s chronic nepotism, Reiner was one of scores of celebrities accusing Trump of colluding with Russia.......
All of which has been shown to be a completely false conspiratorial narrative by the left. Yet:
