Russia for the USA and the West unexpectedly turned out to be not “Upper Volta with missiles”

Russia, in many ways unexpectedly for the United States and the collective West, turned out to be not an "Upper Volta with missiles." Moreover, once again there was a bad luck so that the Russian economy could be "torn to shreds" at the snap of a finger. Doesn't rip...

In general, American Democratic presidents have problems with Russia's assessments. At one time, Barack Obama said that the Russian economy was "torn" into those very "shreds". Most recently, Joe Biden announced that everything in Russia is so terrible that the dollar is two hundred rubles, "and it will be even worse very soon." But something does not grow together with American presidents in this regard.



Now Biden is increasingly talking about "pain." Moreover, according to him, this is "the pain that must be endured in order to support Ukraine from Putin's aggression." True, the problem for Biden is that not all Americans are ready to support Ukraine. And, to put it mildly, not all US citizens generally understand why gasoline is becoming more expensive in America from some kind of Ukraine located many thousands of kilometers away. It is becoming more and more difficult for Americans to explain why Putin raises prices in the United States, who, in addition, can afford to elect American presidents ...

      About Upper Volta - one of the most idiotic phrases in history .. First of all, because Upper Volta still does not know how to make rockets .. A country that knows how to make them - by definition, cannot be backward. Too many advanced technologies and industries are needed for this ..

        If she could, then the phrase would be meaningless, but she does not know how. Therefore, "Upper Volta with missiles" means "a country in which everything is undeveloped except for the military-industrial complex"

          North Korea is a backward country in your opinion??? With nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles?? A cool thesis ... The fact that they do not live as badly as, say, in the South is a blockade .. Many countries were able to withstand this? And the Jucheans, yes. I assure you - give them the opportunity to buy oil with fertilizers, well - and other raw materials, and sell their goods and in 10 years they will do the South Caucasus with Japan in all respects .. Including - in terms of living standards ..

            And yes, in 2021, Kim announced that the "difficult campaign" is returning, that is, the DPRK is CONSTANTLY on the verge of starvation.
            About the blockade ... There are no "blockades" to do with it. Since the 50s, the DPRK has not been able to provide its population with food, and this is despite the great help from both China and the USSR

                Many people counted. There, the South Koreans were noted (the organization "Good Friends", penetrated into the territory of the DPRK), and the UN (in the person of an Indian economist) and the Americans, of course.
                In general, the truth is probably somewhere in the middle. James Morris, director of the United Nations World Food Program put it this way:
                In the mid-1990s, a number of Western scientists assessed the extent of possible victims of famine in those regions of the DPRK that were most affected by floods and droughts. Certain numbers have been received. At the same time, it was emphasized that these are “presumed assessments of the situation in the most affected individual areas”, I repeat, “individual areas”, and not throughout the country. Many regions suffered much less. But other experts took these calculations and applied them to the whole of North Korea, hence the notorious millions of dead. I don’t argue, probably a lot of people suffered, there are no exact numbers, and it’s unlikely that we will get them in the near future, but not millions.”

          North Korea is more resistant to sanctions than even the US. They don't talk about pain. This country is able to replace Germany as a manufacturer of machine tools and Holland as a manufacturer of greenhouses. If Russia managed to establish full-fledged cooperation with the DPRK, trade with Germany and France would lose its meaning.

            Sustainability under sanctions is not a criterion of technical development at all, rather the opposite. The more primitive the technical level, the easier it is to survive international isolation. Cars without automatic transmissions, transportation without airplanes, communication without smartphones, document flow without servers, electronics without microchips - and no sanctions are terrible.

              The viability of a civilization is determined not by the comfort of life of its individuals, but by its ability to withstand external challenges and recover from defeat. The brilliant civilizations of Asia until the middle of the 20th century were colonies and semi-colonies of the West. Korea is just as constrained by the US as Russia. Moreover, the United States does not even disdain the violent killings of South Koreans to slow down the economic penetration of South Koreans into Central Asia. At least that was the case at the beginning of the US invasion of Afghanistan. If the DPRK had not had technical development, the fate of Libya and Iraq would have awaited it. This applies to some extent to Iran.

                  Early 19th century. Great Britain is shaking from the unemployment of men, the exploitation of child and female labor in factories, the dispossession of peasants and their transformation into farm laborers. But after 50 years, advanced industry, the fleet and the economy. At the same time, China is the richest country in the world, sucking gold and silver from all over the world for the products of its artisans. The only thing they lagged behind in the production of weapons, since the last heavy war with an external enemy was the Imjon war in Korea and the struggle with Russia for the Amur region. But in half a century the country becomes backward. A similar thing happened with the USSR. Or China. Its prosperity is rooted in the cultural revolution. At this time, the people received an inoculation against flirting with external and internal demagogues. Therefore, swindlers like Gorbachev, Yeltsin, Nemtsov, Gaidar, Nabiulina did not appear in the PRC. The first overslept the USSR, the last 500 billion dollars.

                    Did the USSR have few weapons? There were few consumer goods, but not weapons. The United States had enough of both the first and second. They never knew about food shortages.
                    Well, the problems in the USSR began long before Gorbachev. The modern development of technology required integration with the global industry. This was especially evident in the microelectronics industry. It was necessary to deepen Kosygin's reforms and follow the Chinese model, but the party bosses were afraid of losing part of their power. Well, the next generation of Komsomol members demolished the country to the dustbin of history.

                  In the late USSR, people lived well. Everyone could keep dachas and go to resorts in the summer. There was a problem in Stankino to find those who wanted to engage in yacht trips. At that time in Sweden, only a cool top manager could afford to ride a yacht and have a dacha. After 1991, the faculty and engineering class became impoverished, but the revolution after 1991 could not be made. The problem of the USSR apparently was in inadequate assessment and remuneration of labor of various groups and classes. It was prestigious and convenient to control engineers, so they were like Tupolev, Petlyakova, Bartini, Polikarpova on an absurd occasion. And the pest investigator Khvat, who destroyed all the materials and primary documents of Vavilov's travels, was made a general, although he should have been shot for stupidity or sabotage.

              The PRC understands that it is problematic to win an economic confrontation only because in Belgium there is a company capable of producing more modern equipment for the production of microcircuits than what China is capable of producing. And this firm will follow in the US formatter. At one time, Chinese geneticists were able to win over US geneticists by creating a high-yielding rice variety and ensuring the retreat of hunger in China. This is what made China resilient in the struggle for a place in the sun for its civilization. By the way, China, unlike the USSR, was able to organize the mass production of domestic motor cultivators and mini tractors, and this laid the foundation for the successful reform of its agriculture. Moreover, this happened during the cultural revolution and perhaps thanks to it.

                The USSR was completely self-sufficient, but could not compete with world cooperation, which is why, with the development of technologies and the complexity of production chains, it began to lag behind in development. The more complex the technology, the greater the dependence on other countries, on their raw materials, energy, and technologies. Even the United States today cannot exist in isolation. And even the US + EU too. So, the only way out is peaceful mutually beneficial cooperation. But for some reason, the United States did not want to give a damn about it, and they believe that everyone owes them a priori.

              Here is a Chinese opinion on the subject. "In the third quarter of 2021, the market share of the Huawei brand in the domestic 5G mobile phone market will reach 30,7%. Vivo ranked second with a share of 16,1%, and OPPO ranked third with 14,6%. It is followed by iPhone, Xiaomi, Honor, realme, OnePlus and Samsung with market shares of 12,5%, 10,5%, 9,7%, 2,7%, 1,1% and 0,9% respectively.
              Huawei may be resisting US sanctions because many people in China are buying Huawei phones. The Chinese love to compare cell phone prices.
              About 5 years ago. Most Chinese-made mobile phones are still associated with "low-end".
              Chinese mobile phones can become very slow after a few years of use.
              But the last 2-3 years. Chinese mobile phones have been greatly improved in terms of workmanship and system speed.
              Huawei, oppo, millet phones are cheap. The performance is the same as the Apple phone.
              The cheapest Apple phone costs 5000 yuan.
              Gradually, Chinese youth stopped blindly chasing Apple mobile phones.
              It turns out that Samsung mobile phones are the mobile phones with the largest market share in China. But Samsung phones are expensive. He ignored China's share of the low-cost mobile phone market." You now understand the results of the sanctions against the high-tech PRC and backward Russia.

In addition, it is worth noting that SMIC began mass production of 14nm technology products in the fourth quarter of 2019. I think for phones in Asia, Africa, Russia and China, 14-nm technology is still sufficient.

              Unfortunately, Russia is now not capable of producing machine tools that the USSR produced. European CNC machines purchased for aircraft factories often demonstrate less accuracy than special machines developed in the USSR. This causes either a decrease in product quality or puts forward restrictions on the design of the designed equipment. By the way, China threw its machines on the market only 15 years ago. The DPRK seems to have a machine tool industry with a more glorious past than China's from the mainland. Their undeniable achievement in recent years is the mastery of greenhouse production technology. The last 3 years in the DPRK have been severe natural disasters (90% of precipitation falls during the harvest period, the rest of the time there is drought), but they were able to avoid a famine like that in the Yeltsin years. Although the leadership of the DPRK seems discouraged by the cost of funds for modernization and the lack of impressive results other than overcoming hunger.

                  What surprised you. CNC tracking the position continuously with oscillatory movements moves the tool or part. If the machine operator is literate and holds the tightness during processing, then there are no oscillatory movements on the universal machine and the error is less by the magnitude of these oscillations. Second. Imported machines are usually equipped with servo drives with an encoder on the motor shaft. That is, there is an error in the amount of compression of the transmission element. A good CNC machine should not be equipped with encoders on servo motors, but with rulers measuring the actual position of the caliper carriage.

                And you didn’t think that (the famine in the DPRK during the Yeltsin era) coincides a bit with the fun of the 90s in the Russian Federation and the collapse of everything and everything, and accordingly there was nothing to supply the DPRK with, the bush legs themselves begged mixed with the piano. It's so word for it. If we didn’t supply them all the way, the Koreans themselves would have been puzzled with food for a long time, but ours fell to them for free, so they didn’t bother with their agriculture.

                  The only problem is that after the "difficult campaign" of the DPRK in the 90s, which ended in 1999, a little more than 20 years pass ... And in 2021, Eun proclaims the danger of a new "difficult campaign".

        So don't listen. I don’t understand people like you who live in Russia and whine all their lives, spend their lives whining: you see, our GDP is 40 times lower than in the West, we don’t even know how to make howitzers like fucking French Caesars (I wonder how in Ukraine we win then? which is supplied by everything NATO and Japan, including intelligence data. Ukraine, which has an advantage in manpower since it announced mobilization?). Indonesia will overtake us even soon in terms of GDP! What a misfortune... Isn't it easier for you to just take it and leave for the developed and so extolled by you West? and not waste time on a hopeless, in your opinion, country? There is zero constructiveness in your comments, one destructive and whining. Do not like domestic howitzers - go create better. And if you do not live in Russia, then it is not clear why you are sitting in the public pages of a country that you consider hopeless? sit where you sit and enjoy life. For example, if I look in public in Ukraine, the USA, Britain, Germany, Israel, then just out of curiosity and in order to get a picture of the real moods of ordinary citizens of those countries and compare it with the picture that our media presents, I do not enter into polemics about life in those countries, sometimes only on topics that relate to my homeland - Russia. Or do people like you just not get to enjoy life without whining and not showing the poor, in your opinion, in their place?
        Write at least once constructively. What do you offer specifically? Surrender Donbass and Crimea, hand over Russian people and everyone who sympathizes with Russia, to be destroyed by the punitive troops of Ukraine? Bow the knee to the US and Europe and wait with bowed head until they take pity on such wretched ones and build them back into their global international system of trade and technological cooperation? At the same time, they will not demand anything from above in the Donbass and Crimea?... At the same time, as the 1990s and 2000s showed, we will never be equal partners for them, even under the condition of huge utsupov from our side. Those steps towards them that we make, they take for granted, and to take steps towards us - this, excuse me, does not correspond to the status of a master ..

I ask myself if Russia will survive. After all, he is fighting against all of Europe and the United States. I have strange feelings about this, and I don't want to be on the side of the victorious West. Well, perhaps Russian politics knows where it can go and if it has enough missiles to reach London.

      Well, the next generation of Komsomol members demolished the country to the dustbin of history.

      The Komsomol, as well as the CPSU, were banned BEFORE the collapse of the USSR in 1991, so they had no way to "demolish" anything. They were taken down beforehand. To make it easier to demolish the rest.

      But in general, something ....... there is something in this ... Soros did not call Ukraine a banana republic without bananas back in the 90s for nothing. As he looked into the water ...
      If citizens believe that the USSR was "demolished by Komsomol members", and not by thieves and bandits with traitors, let them look at the international rating of living standards by country. Under the Komsomol members, the USSR, even in 1988, occupied place No. 26 in it. And now Russia has a place of about No. 70. Next to Colombia .... so not Volta, of course, but close ..... But much more shameful, because in terms of natural wealth Russia in the World is in place number 1.
