    Exclusive for you. https://ria.ru/sanctions/20180413/1518549352.html

    Hello Boeing and NASA. Now, instead of titanium, they can use for example manure. As it is done in Ukraine.
    The news is not spoken of, but titanium is also an indispensable metal for modern military aircraft such as the Boeing F / A-18 Super Hornet. In the RAND Corporation study, it is noted that the metal structures of the F / A-18 Super Hornet contain "21 percent of titanium."
    And this is only part of the titanium that is needed by the US defense industry, since in order to build a modern combat aircraft, much more titanium is required than it is contained in the final product. Military contractors call this "buy-to-fly ratio": the ratio of how much titanium should be bought against how much, ultimately, used in the aircraft. The weight of titanium that must be purchased for a single F-35 Joint Strike Fighter is 30,000 pounds, or 15 tons.
    But most of all about the reserves - Russian titanium from Boeing and United Technology says the following statistical value: 79% of titanium, which the US consumes every year - is imports.
    You ask - but is the US Department of Defense no has a reserve of metals? It has. But, between 1998 and 2005, the State Strategic Military Reserve sold its entire stock of titanium (34,800 metric tons) to zero. (Where did the proceeds go? By order of the US Congress, the Pentagon carried out "the sale of titanium from the National Defense Reserve and transferred funds to the creation of the World War II Memorial.")

    NASA can now use trampolines to travel to space. And of course Russian rocket engines will no longer be available.

    Also, and this is the most serious, the Russian terminals for nuclear power plants and nuclear fuel are also a ban for USA

    According to the Report on the needs of the State Strategic Reserve to ensure national defense in 2013, submitted by the Pentagon to the Committees of the Congress and the Senate for Armed Forces, of Russia supplies 10 of the 19 metals and types of minerals on the list of "scarce", 10. Five of these 10 positions - antimony, carborundum (silicon carbide), bismuth, gallium and scandium - the United States does not have anything at hand - zero. Of those same five positions: the USA is 100% dependent on scandium imports, 99% gallium, 91% bismuth, 85% antimony and 72% carbourund.

    .....And so on.

    For Russia this is a very good decision.

    I'm glad that you are happy.

    By the way, the US imposed sanctions against Russia because idiots sit in the White House. Will explain. For example, crazy imbeciles from the White House advised Trump to impose sanctions against ALROSSA, the company that produces aluminum. Oligophrenics the White House were advised not to buy aluminum from this company. The result - the price of aluminum soared into space. ALROSSA, even got a profit as a result of this, but American companies are forced to pay much more for aluminum. The result is that the end product of American companies becomes more expensive - companies lose competitiveness - they have to stop production. And so on all points. Sometimes I think, maybe Trump was really appointed by Russian hackers.

    But the most valuable thing for Russia was American sanctions against Russian oligarchs. The Russians were shouting bravo for these sanctions. And if the American police shot down the Russian oligarchs, the Russians would only say thanks to the Americans. Because of this, the outflow of capital from Russia practically ceased. And now there is a return of capital to Russia.

    Another. Only the economy. Some idiots say that the tramp will start bombing Syria and rejoice in anticipation of this. But the reality is that immediately after the attack, stock indices can collapse. This will provoke a burst of financial bubbles. In other words, this can provoke the collapse of the US economy. In conditions of total deficit of the budget, this can lead to irreversible consequences.

    This is reality.

    If it's to avoid a war yes, otherwise it would hurt the Russian economy, and Putin unlike stupid Merkel, will not hurt his own people to retaliate. Maybe better he raise the prices a hundred fold - but only to US companies.

    The latest is that Washington demands that Russia's Northern Sea Route which will cut the transport time between Asia and Europe in half, be opened to them. Russia will use it mostly for its LNG gas, and it will help them develop the northern regions of the country.

    Hmmm, maybe Russia should charge others enormous transfer fees - let's say about ten dollars less that what the cost would be otherwise, and only for a limited amount of ships. This by the way, is why Russia's military is rushed northwards when the drums of war sounds..

    There is one interesting nuance in this new anti-sanctioning law. Russia will not recognize the intellectual property patented in the US and other countries that have imposed sanctions on the Russian Federation. I think this is a more serious measure than a ban on buying American chicken. Only God knows what losses American and West European companies will have suffered as a result.

    The way they're talking, Russia could end up a poorer version of the USSR, isolated and rapidly falling behind the rest of the world in technological and social development.

    Have fun with that.

    Russia best keep it up in all arenas. The divide between the US and Russia is becoming unbridgeable due to deliberate actions on the part of the US.

    From Mike Pompeo's (new Secretary of State) confirmation hearings:

    Pompeo described Russia as “a danger to our country” and blamed Russian President Vladimir Putin for any “bad blood” between Washington and Moscow. He also vowed to “confront [the Russians] at every vector, cyber, economic, et cetera. We need to make sure Putin doesn’t succeed.”

    By the way Destroyer, it's this dependency on Russia's natural products that has been freaking out the sociopaths in Washington. Russia owns 30% of the natural resources in the world and they know it's only a matter of time before the world will be dependent on Russia. In Washington's sick minds, instead of treating other nations with respect they want subservience, so they do what sociopaths always do to get their way: Bully, lie, deceive, threaten, blackmail, insult, demonize, etc., etc. But it is not working.

    They are trying to do what they did in Kiev, and overthrow the government from within and put in someone who is willing to sell out his own people like Poroshenko, but they haven't managed it - and they are cracking up. It is a dangerous situation. Russia is not dealing with sane people, and they have weapons - a lot of them.

    The Russian economy is a joke. There are states in the US that have a greater GNP. California, Texas and New York all have economies that dwarf Russia's. The GNP of Russia is barely 7% of that of the United States. The majority of the people in Russia live in extreme poverty. The Average Monthly Income is $291. Anyone who thinks Russia has the ability to apply economic pressure on the US needs to get new meds.

    We have the utmost respect for other countries that operate according to international laws and uphold certain standards, something Russia has been failing to do under Putin.

    I saw Alabama and it did not look that different. Mostly small wodd houses. Trailer homes, electrict grid masts and evrything quite rotten and shabby.

    USA has rich areas but also extreme poverty.

    I dont understand what is achieved by insulting Russia? I see Russia not as friend of Germany. But just as we have, they have their own interests.

    They wont give up Crimea and they wont give up Syria.

    In germany we have learned you can make deals with the russians and tehy stand for those deals. That can not be said about americans though.

    But the US version of international law is different than the rest of the worlds. For instance, the world bases their's on a consensus of different nations and cultures, while the US bases there's on the corporate media, Pentagon, deep state and whoever has a financial interest.

    An Israeli politician said the same thing. When Russia gives its word they stand by it, but that comes with integrity and a sense of honor, something we lost quite a while ago.

    USA stole all our patents after WW II. Germany had to start completly from new.

    USA tries again and again to start business espionage in Germany. More than 70% of hacking attacks come from USA.

    USA harassed Germany for decades, only since 15 years Germany refuses to follow.

    USA decissions directly hurt German interests. The wars in the middle east create migrants who storm towards Germany. US agression creates terrorism.

    USA is in no way our friend and the rising influence of eastern Germans in politics makes it possible to adress this.

    The US hasn't given them back their gold, but I don't think Germany has given Greece back its gold either. Maybe I'm wrong.

    If the US is not afraid, then why so much animosity and demonizing of Vladimir Putin? Is it because he's a Christian, and refuses to go along with Soros' liberal one world order? There are plenty of nations who refuse to go along, so why Russia and why Vladimir Putin?
