"Ripping off American research is a timeless Russian tradition.."

I know.

Every single time I see a photo of the Buran, it just pisses me off BIG TIME.

But, I feel a sigh of relief when I realize that these liars, cheaters and thieves clearly did NOT win.

If Putin plagiarized, then it is merely a matter of time before he loses all credibility as a leader.

Countless Russian military atrocities in Grozny, the Beslan school massacre, nuclear sales with Iran and his Stalinesque fist toward the media are already nails in his coffin.

Hopefully this will turn out to be one more.

You'll love the TU-4 "Bull" then.
