Reply to comment by Northstar1989 in Russians did such a good job promoting renewable energy and electric vehicles this year. by darth_nadoma

Well firsr of all, that's the feature of authoritarianism: they all grow impatient, they have no correct info and are surrounded by the yes men. In case of putin, he doesn't even use the technology. Second, the US was always open to post soviet russia. Hell, they were even invited to G7. They were given massive aid, but because of the widespread corruption, the money was stolen. Russian Democracy ended in 1993 when tanks were deployed against the Parliament

No they were not.

The historical facts simply don't back your bogus assertions.

Several high-ranking members of the US intelligence community and several senators/Congressmen even went on record that it was a mistake NOT to provide the kind of massive aid you described. It should have happened, but it never did.
