The Russian scientists seem to have to have retained respect for the integrity of their profession, unlike the politicized junk-scientists that we produce. Perhaps it's because they have seen the worker's utopia up close.
God bless the Russians. The last "great" war was the U.S., Britain, and Russia against the Europeans. I fear the next one is shaping up that way as well
Even during the Cold War we knew it would be Russia and America on the same side against a common enemy next time. As always for the big ones
