Hey, Communism vs Capitalism :smiley:

I find this rather humorous, the Soviet Union did not recognize intelectual property rights of anyone. Now is screaming about others taking theirs? :smiley:

It became the most prolific small arm in history because they gave it away to all who wanted to fight the US and its allies.

hah! A pox on you commie pinko bed wetters!:smiley:

How does one say “tough shit” in Russian?

:stuck_out_tongue:

Clearly you have never been to my classes.

The late Anthony Sutton wrote a three-volume exposition, published by the Hoover Institute, Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development: 1917-1930 (1968); Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development: 1930-1945 (1971); Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development: 1945-1965 (1973), in which he demonstrated that virtually all Soviet technology, right down to the radiator cap on a GAZ truck, was purloined from the West.

Feck 'em. Let 'em try Vasigilski where it hurts.

Even Mikhail said that the Bulgarians built his rifles better than anyone else back when it was all one big happy Warsaw Pact…

I’ll take a Hungarian all day over any others.

This is just another way for the NYT to bash the United States. But, there is probably a Dem somewhere writing legislation for the US to pay reparations to Russia for any AK ever made outside of the country.

The russians should all go jerk themselves off in the corner and quit whining about the situation that they created. The present “Russia” is just a gang of thugs and thieves that robbed themselves blind.

Who would have thought that a retired CWO would be proficient in so many languages.:wink: Must have been all that training in the Corps.

And here I thought all they needed to do was fill out a 3T form…

Tough Titties Tovarishch!
