Batchushka! I agree with you. Let people take a look at a Michelin road map of Europe they will see that AUTOBAHNS stop at the borders of Poland. Look at Russia, and compare the miles of super highways they have with the number of miles the SUPER rich Western countries have. See CIA factfiles.
You will be astounded. Then think how much a mile of a super-highway costs. Then ask yourself why doesn't Russia, Ukraine or Byelorussia have super-highways.
The answer is simple. IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE.
Now. You though keep on attacking Russia and Putin for all their shortfalls, but you do not think of how much money has to be put into that infrastructure to make it modern and efficient.
Do you think that they are purposely keeping their roads in such condition? Is it another Russian ploy?
If the US is dragging its feet over green house emissions-and it is, and if it is looking through China's fingers because OUR production lines are there, then lets be clear and ask ourselves: what is it that makes us attack Russia?
ANY ANSWERS? "Only puny secrets need protection. Big discoveries are protected by public incredulity." MMcL
I have a theory that we see in them what we don't like about ourselves. But I'm probably the only person in the universe who feels that way.
I've never had the urge to attack Russia, myself, so I really don't know. I'm more inclined to be on the defending end of things. Apparently, even when things are indefensible, because it's always indefensible when it comes to Russia, isn't it? Sigh...
