Historical look at various civilisational differences between Russia and the West [159]
Well, at least, unlike RuSSia, we import stuff from South Korea and the US and not from North Korea and Iran ;D
As i have already written it earlier. Russia is importing only dispensable materials like shells. It is a question of industrial capacities. Buying shells is easier and cheaper than building additional plants. You better can spend those money for tank, missile or airplane production.
That's not only "Polish narrative". That's also Putin's narrative :)))
There were times when he tried to be friend with the west. Above all, he is not a historian. He may be well wrong on this issue.
