Russian "culture" at its "best".

Russians are very creative when it comes to create ways to kill , to maim, to destroy people and things. (Did you know during the Cold War one Russian engineer tried to come up with a sonic boom aircraft that would fly at Mach 2+ speed but create giant sonic boom underneath that would pierce lungs, brains etc... of soldiers under its path? A Concorde of death. What stopped him from realizing that macabre vision was the invention of Stinger and Patriot)

American engineers invent things to improve life.

Russian engineers invent things to destroy life.

Natural mentality of Russians is misery and suffering. And they like to spread that mentality to their neighbors too (we Russians dont know how to live happily, let's make our neighbors as miserable as us). I understand why Ukranians want to leave Russia orbit. I would do the same.
