My fren ,You are confusing a few things here ,first ,just because you know very little about Russia technology doesn't make it second rate or inferior ,just look at it's ammunition companies ,oil companies ,timber and timber products, vodka companies and of course it's nuclear power companies, Russia is a giant that is chilled out unlike it's American brother. Secondly Russia population is aging just like Japan , UK , Germany and even the USA. Why do the Russian s even seat in the UN security council with veto power?
