What's left of Roscosmos and the old Soviet space program would not exist without the US propping them up.

Rogozin's mansions won't pay for themselves, it didn't stop from everything in Roscosmos from being stolen.

Not entirely for altruistic reasons, mind you. Didn't want their rocket engineers running off to other countries to make ICBMs.

Btw when Soviet Union had ICBMs, Soviet Union had ICBMs, not just Russia. Also reason why Putin invaded Ukraine. If Ukraine wasn't forced to give up their NWs, Putin would think infinitely many times before invading. Fuck Putin, fuck United Russia.
