re: #225 Hecuba’s daughter

Why in the world is Putin wasting money on these systems when the successful Russian attacks on our election vulnerabilities has put their asset in the WH and rendered us powerless to confront them? Almost the entire GOP is in his pocket. What purpose do these weapons serve?

I can think of one reason:

With the massive tax scam passed by the GOP, Russia can now do to us what we did to the Soviet Union (make us spend into complete bankruptcy and collapse, followed by the breakup of the United States).
