Russia has domestic router manufactures

Base on RT's article, the replacement is MyOffice, a cloud-based, similar to Office 365, running on browsers or as standalone applications for Window, Android, iOS.

Of course, the sanction have some effects (such as, some technologies instead of buying/corporation with, e.g. France, now they must develop themselves). But not terrible as media showed, such as, the foods price, or people being starved. Their agriculture booms, and surpassed the weapons industry.
As I said, some report tried to show that Russians have cut "something" in dollars, not in rouble - which is weaker in recent years.

If you read Russian (I don't but I read using Yandex/Google translator), I could say that Russian technologies are underrated. Of course, they acknowledged that they are behind Western in many areas, or are "reinventing the wheel", but the progress is very positive.
China is a different story, Russia is likely, they have know-how but lack of motive (but, not now with sanctions) and money. China have motives and money but lack some key technologies that could not fill without "great leap-forward", such as, they have tried to develop jet engine for more than 30 years but the result is still in doubt.

About Armata, OK, one of them got glitch. But I see the broader scene, the consequence of Armata is the merger of two famous German and French tank manufactures.

About PAK-FA, in 80's-90's, not mention the budget of Russia after the collapse of Soviet. The mindset of Soviet airforce was protect the land, they needed super fast fighters, not somethings stealthy enter enemy base and drop bombs. All the Soviet bombers/fighters followed this trend.
In fact when Russian began to develop "5th" fighter plane, here is what they think:
1) for protect "motherland", 5th fighters are not needed.
2) Russia is a #2 arms exporter, they need to keep their market/buyers
3) does not want to fall behind in technology.

The deadline of development only move to 2020 for Indian version for mass production. It said that in early 2009 they would introduced three prototype, but then actually in early 2010, by traditional Soviet fighter producing process, it took about 5 years from maiden flight to final product, and they would test with new engine with the prototype when everything is OK.

If you count in dollar, not in rouble.
If Russia could not produce things inside the country, that is the problem with their budget!

Armata introduced last year.
Mikoyan has problem because Sukhoi has been doing better both on domestic and foreign market. And, MiG is a kind of light fighter, which has less demand today.

Hanoi, Hai Phong, Nam Dinh were all destroyed during bombing operators. HCM trail have no civilian target.
John McCain was shot down while bombing a lightbulb factory.

It's misleading that Vietnam war was a guerrilla warfare, in fact it's was serial of battles to capture/defense positions, areas, with participation of large number of soldiers and weapons, between U.S and NVA (not VC).
There's a myth of U.S military won all battles but lost due to politics.
Also, there's problem with statistic, such as using "body counting" as a measure of "victory".

Not only Sci-hub, libgen (Library genesis) - Iran, China, India, Russia and USA also are the top visitors. But, there is some differences in details (as, I know):

China: While there are hundreds sites in China for sharing stuffs, but they are not really "free". They are either required real money (of course, less than amount of money you buy "legal" books) or you must earn points to download. So, that is why Chinese prefer sci-hub/libgen.

Russia: It seems that Russians now more and more like to read English papers/books than before. As I remember, India was in rank #2 before, because Russians have many free sources for Russian stuffs, not just libgen.

Iran: Always on the top, no matter it's once-famous library.nu (ebooksclub) or libgen.

Yeah, yeah! You are right! ;)
You don't know about Vietnam, I do, why? I had visited there.
You think you know about Cuba. Why? You read USA's news paper.

Haha, traditional approach, when I ask for references and citations, you quickly change to insulted method.
All your "definitions" is no where in Marx's books, you don't know about German Socialism, etc. I don't know why I have such patience to talk to you.
Cash is *special* product. Itself has no value but is agreed that it's acted as a measure of value, as medium of economic exchange (Britannica Concise). How it's a product, as dollar for example, in theory, if USA print more dollars, its *value* (the value it presents, not *its* value) will be devalued. But because dollar dominates the world monetary system, then every bank must buy dollar for exchange. So the demand of dollar is always high.

Good tip! You know it best!

Typo:
...based on 'trust',...

No you actually don't know about Marx or Socialism. There are differences between them, there books for you to read.
German Socialism, before Marx, not National Socialism.

Citation is need.

I don't know, you don't either.
It's practical systems propose by, for example, Stalin was failed.
The same to say Alan Smith was wrong because there was never "free market" system because who operate capitalistic system was failed to operate this.

Cash had no value, of course the real value of cash is the material that made it. A banana is a banana, you could trade it to have a banana or equivalent. But once cash was devalued it could be the same as toilet paper. Also, my Mexican example just show that nearly identical workers' products have different value, just show how cash value is affected by government. If there is "one world government", or Mexico is part of USA, suddenly those two workers have the same "value".
Yes, cash is special product, which means it's also affect by "market", but it is the mostly government controlled.

Also, the advanced model of 'cash' is credit. Credit is based on 'truth', has value of the thing you are 'trusted' to produce in near future. It has no actual value.

In the book - Red brotherhood at wars, stated that other countries feared sanctions, so they don't mess with America to do business with Vietnam.
BNP Paribas proves that if you deal with those countries you have no chance to work with USA.

No, I was there.

OK, I intended to put in ", quote marks, which quoted your phrase "forbidden".
The restriction, forget it, you don't read the report.
The high price: 1 connection, slow, not everyone allows to use this *everyday*, only universities have priority to use this. Or, satellite connection, I said before, expensive.
When I went to Vietnam, the connection here was *very slow*, they share cdroms which contained contents download from Internet, not because of restrictions.

Your definition about socialism is so strange. Which socialism? German Socialism or Marx's Socialism, or other socialism which you mentioned here? If this Marx's socialism, it is communism as Marx's definition, which has no government.
Also, the author, base on definition of Marx, which prove Soviet was actually capitalistic state, capitalism is organized around the concept of capital - the ownership and control of the means of production by those who employ workers to produce goods and services in exchange for wages. No mater individual or government, who control and own the means of production, who not produce goods - workers, are sights of capitalism.

Now about your definition about capitalism. Price is about cash. Cash was invented for trading, in which cash has no value itself. A Mexican worker on the border of Mexico-America earns - in peso, less than the immigrated Mexican worker on the American-Mexico border, who earns in dollar. Because cash's value is fixed in Mexico is different to USA, but the *REAL* price of the product these two workers produce are the same, but is different in peso and dollar. That is governments and their center banks *indirectly* or *directly* affect the 'price'.

Remember BNP Paribas, was punished for violated sanctions. Yes, Cuba is only sanctioned by one country, the most powerful country which dominates the world's monetary system.
If you don't believe, read "Red brotherhood at wars", which showed after the Vietnam War, Vietnam actively opened the economy and tried to make relations with Western countries, but feared of sanction by USA, only France provide several thousand dollars.

About Mexico, you don't understand? One of the most corrupted government and a capitalist country. OK, can I list other capitalist countries?

About the internet cable, the same sanctioned policy affect here. You can't trade with Cuba.

And, It seems that you don't read the report, or try not to understand. The report claimed Cuba restricts internet connection as a dictatorial country would do, as one knew about the "Iron Curtain".
Forbidden for everyday citizens because they have limited resource or expensive satellite option.
