Russia and China also have been strengthening their education systems while we have destroyed ours through liberalism.
Even Boeing sent the 787 to Moscow for engineering, and Boeing sent much of their critical engineering knowledge to China as well. China is now producing airplanes to compete against Boeing. Moscow is producing ground and data flight data process systems.
Go to any large aerospace company like Boeing, Lockheed, Raytheon, or Northrup, and you find loads of Russians and Chinese (not to mention Indians). It is easy to get US citizenship and a security clearance.
Next to them are the Indians. Indians runs most large companies in the US and are displacing more and more middle line executives every day.
I’d tell you that a great deal of Boeing’s parts are sourced from Russia. Have no idea how they get it now, probably some exempt.
