If Texas and a few states split from the US today, you'll say the US was not the U.S?

Russia = Soviet Union.

Both the resources, ideas, scientists, engineers who built them were Russian. Even the funding came from Russia.

The decision to build them came from Russia.

If not, why are the former Soviet states unable to replicate the technologies built by the Soviet Union?

china has surpassed russia in many areas
but china is still behind russia and the us in certain key areas

i think this debate often highlights how people understate the value of technological heritage/first-mover advantage
especially in relation to the technological advancements of upstarts

i will give an example
warships are classified into five major classes by capability
battleships, cruisers, destroyers, frigates, corvettes, littoral ships/patrol boats

since the fall of the soviet union (more than 30 years ago), russia has not built a new destroyer
meanwhile, in the last 15 years alone, china has built two entire new classes of destroyers from scratch
with 45 active units
10 of which, the type 055 destroyers, are equivalent to western cruisers

but because of russia's technological heritage with the soviet union's navy
they have very capable cruisers and destroyers that have been retrofitted and modernized to face up to any threat
meanwhile, they've been able to focus most of their efforts into rapidly developing new weapon systems like the burevestnik and building far more consequential systems like nuclear subs

and this is where mathematics and physics are undefeated

if russia can throw 10 geniuses at a problem
china can throw 100 geniuses at the same problem

so you have a situation where russia has given up on trying to compete in certain technological areas
because the us has 330 million people, can pick up bright minds from half the planet, and has a supporting cast of very capable vassals in places like germany, south korea, japan, isn'treal, uk, france...
china has 1 billion people

so for instance, russia has no chance of developing their own equivalent of ASML or Nvidia or Huawei or CATL
in the biosciences, russia does not compete
not because they do not have the brains, but because they do not have the numbers
a genius working on rocket propulsion will not be available to develop an euv machine
meanwhile china has 2 geniuses on rocket propulsion, another two on developing an euv machine, another 2 on alzheimer's research, another two on astrobiology

this discrepancy will become more visible as the years turn into decades
right now, china is still playing catch-up
they want to get to a point where they are on par with the other two on every metric
that is still a decade off
but after that, the gap will get wider and wider
it'll be like the uk vs the us
once upon a time, the uk led in everything
then the us caught up, and then the us blew past whatever the uk could conjure up

---

also, i think the balance of power within the hegemony will evolve
right now, the us dominates entirely
no one can cough
that will change slowly
certain powers will have more voice and influence

you see this for instance in the iran war
where more states were like, f*ck this, we're out
the us was like "how dare you", "you'll pay" and the others were like "shut up, grandpa"
turkey was like, there will be no kurdish incursion
and that plan which was a main pillar of the preparations was scrapped

japan for instance will be less of a vassal and more of a partner
like that japan-sk-australia bloc is a cheat code that will be unshackled

if i am in the kremlin, i will be very worried about 50-70 years from now
sure, the us will not be the sole dominant superpower that it was in the 1990-2010 period
but it doesn't need to
it does not need to lead in everything, it just needs to lead its coterie in enough to remain the top dog, while delegating more roles to the others
china will become the closest thing to what the us was
and all the middle powers will have split roles with the us-led bloc and the china-led bloc
such that a russia-led bloc will become progressively diminutive relative to the other two blocs

---

ultimately, this is one reason why i don't get this insistence by the Beltway to preserve the unipolar order
at great cost
stop trying to make the sun shine at night

a multi-polar world is not as bad for western interests as they make it seem

So China is superior by copying others (Russia and U.S) ?

No original ideas, just copy and improve upon.

Why can't China still build their own indigenous aircrafts and engines till today?

Even their military equipments are Russian copies.

Even their automotive industry, AI na just copy from U.S and paste.

I love China but whenever I look at both countries, only Russia gives me hope.

Russia is building things that really matters, not fancy and shiny things.

WriteerNg:
Russia builds it's own aircrafts, engines and submarines from scratch while China still imports foreign ones.

Yet someone would claim China is more technologically superior than Russia.

What we are witnessing today may very well be a PREVIEW of what the future will look like for ISRAEL after the RAPTURE .
A world leader who appears friendly toward ISRAEL, brokers a peace agreement, and even allows the temple to be rebuilt, only to reveal his true nature and turn completely against her.
One Sure Fact is GOD will Save HIS PEOPLE and CRUSH All that come against them.

These are truly HISTORIC and BIBLICAL times.

Stay close to the Lord. Remain rooted in His Word. Encourage one another and stay in fellowship as we eagerly await His return:

“And let us consider one another in order to stir up love and good works, not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as is the manner of some, but exhorting one another, and so much the more as you see the Day approaching.”

🤣😂😀

this electricity connection is actually small chops
compared to what the reformists and their realtor bffs have planned with the $300B "reconstruction fund"

prelim details are shared here
https://www.aol.com/exclusive-iran-deal-includes-300-175751530.html

---

essentially, instead of getting reparations
they're inviting foreign capital to fund reconstruction with the expectation of a return
which means the west (through their companies) will get back that $300B with profit adjusted for inflation

now, it would have been better to get the funds from china to rebuild key facilities like damaged refining, steel, electricity, and petrochemical facilities at less than 2% or at no interest but with the same profit incentives
and then direct the $300B to other underinvested areas
but apparently, they've already gotten commitment for $150B which would only happen if they had offered access to sumptuous economic assets

---

oh, and let's not forget that this fund will only be available after they have made satisfactory nuclear concessions to the us
a condition that does not apply to axis (russia/china) investment

the central bank governor of iran is heading to russia today
but the idea that the reformists are already doing a fire sale to the tune of $300B to the same doofuses that bombed them
before inviting the russians and chinese to have what should be right of first refusal to economic opportunities is scandalous
