Not only did we pay the Russians to make their weapons better, we paid them to make them better specifically against our most advanced (fielded) Air and Missile Defense system.

"Russian missile engineers will need detailed specifications on American Navy radars in order to modify the MA-31 missile into a usable target drone. Boeing and Zvezda engineers will have to share data on Aegis radars and participate in live fire exercises. This will require Russian engineers to be on site and on board U.S. Navy Aegis ships. Boeing has now acquired funding to increase the poor range for the Russian missile using air launched cruise missile technology developed during the Cold War (ALCM). Furthermore, the Russian Zvezda-Strela design bureau demanded that testing of the extended-range MA-31 must be done inside Russia."Selling Rope to the Hangman

I'm sure we did, because x42's admin was convinced that if you shared all your information with all the other powers, then nobody would hurt you because they all had the same weapons.
If you can explain the logic of that argument to me ...??
No wonder the terrorists went after us - we told them we were stupid and we weren't holding the winning hand.
