- madeuptempacct 8y agoThey lease you land. But I really can't think of anything produced in Russia besides weapons, rockets, and nuclear powerplants.
- jabl 8y agoMy country is full of Russian machinery equipment (lathes etc.), as a result of clearing trade during the cold war. Not as precise as the Western stuff at the time, but usable. And, well, we've got em' by the ton..
- parliament32 8y agoAbout 50% of Russia's exports are oil-based, but they also export a significant amount materials from mining and logging, as well as food and refined chemicals. See the Exports chart here: https://atlas.media.mit.edu/en/profile/country/rus/ https://atlas.media.mit.edu/en/profile/country/rus/
- supergirl 8y agowhere do you live? obviously you wouldn't see any russian things in US for many reasons...
- madeuptempacct 8y agoWhy not? You see US and Chinese products in Russia and Ukraine, why not vice-versa? "But the dollar is so expensive", etc is not a legitimate argument. Russians buy American cars, tools, etc.
- supergirl 8y agoWhat does this have to do with anything? My point is if you don’t have russian products in the US (for whatever reasons) this doesn’t mean other people don’t have russian products

- alleskleber 8y agoI recently came across replacement electron tubes for guitar amplifiers that were "Made in Russia" by a company of the name Sovtek. Seems like Sovtek is part of a US cooperation (New Sensor) these days. The tubes are still "Made in Russia", though.

- vasili111 8y agoTake a look at the composition of the export. What part of it high tech?
- Grue3 8y agoSee Venezuela. Except with nuclear weapons.
