We buy the engine for our mainstay launch vehicle, the Atlas 5, from this A**clown.

SpaceX got an injunction against any more money going to him last week and yesterday the Obama administration argued successfully in court to reverse that and force U.S. taxpayers to continue sending money to him and his missile engine company, NPO Energomash.

Ain’t that great? Kinda like sending cash to Hitler.

If Rogozin was an American, his “monkey with a grenade” wisecrack would have all the US media denouncing him as a racist, given who the President is.

“a monkey with a grenade.”

That monkey may soon be throwing around more then just a grenade.

There are US Marines deployed to Romania right now for exercises. That jackwagon wants a piece of them? Good luck with that old boy.

“Upon U.S. request, Romania has closed its air space for my plane. Ukraine doesn’t allow me to pass through again. Next time I’ll fly on board TU-160.”

I'm just guessing here but aren't international flight agreement applicable only to civil airliner flights?
Was this delusional Russian flying on a military flight?

The TU-160 is the Russian military’s most advanced and largest strategic bomber in its arsenal.

Maybe Romania can purchase whatever the Russians used to shoot down the passenger airliner Korea FL 007... ?
