Wow 70 years of history is so flat, it just folds right up in your pocket like that, stunning. Its possible you've left a few details out

You claimed to be a communist yet you literally just defended a dictatorship, lmao.

The ussr managed to get nearly all of the firsts in the space race while spending less than a tenth of what the US spent to lose nearly all of the firsts in the space race.

So why/how is the US such a tragic thorn in your side?

Why is the biggest loser in history the eternal focus of your rage?

Because of the lies you want us to forget lmao
