Trumpistan broke the deal. Maybe Russia and Iran should go ahead and make some deals: Su-30, S-400, Pantsir, Iskander...

That would mean cutting themselves off from the worlds major source of Titanium and a lot of other materials as well.

It would ruin Boeing...

It would make NASA squirm because they would have no way of getting to or from the ISS for a few years...

At the end of the day all the hostility from the US has pushed Russia to look elsewhere... just because some tiny little country in Africa does not have the money the US does does not mean there is no value in trading with them for Russia.

In fact trading with small non wealthy countries can often be much more profitable than trading with a superpower that wants to limit your growth and maximise their profit margins.

Trade with the rest of the world will help both Russia grow and develop, but also the rest of the world grow and develop rather more than all these years of trading with western colonial powers.

Trade with the west for countries means accepting their demands and bending to their rules... which generally benefit no one but the west.

If you have ever worked in retail it is the richest customers that tend to be the tightest... if they are buying a lot of stuff they expect to get a deal... they expect to pay less than people with little or no money because they think their business is valuable. Many retailers see how wealthy they are and want their business, but by negotiating that way they will not actually earn much money from them at all because of all the incentives and bonuses they offer.

For Russia it makes more sense to look for trading partners that don't want to control Russia or tell her how to run her own affairs and expect the same from Russia... that is most of the rest of the world... including China and India...

What it is not is the EU and the west and the US in particular, who are always bringing up human rights issues, while at the same time murdering millions and causing the suffering of millions more with their sanctions and invasions and civil wars.... sorry colour revolutions...

Putin is right to focus on food production... suggesting Russia should become more financial is like saying they should look in to devil worship... hedge fund managers will be the end of the west... it is just smoke and mirrors with money... it is the next generation beyond buying a company and firing all its workers and stealing their pensions and then selling the company to the highest bidder for an immoral profit.

Companies should not be a vehicle for a quick buck for investors... companies are about employment and producing goods or services that people want or need, it is about the employees having a stable good paying job so they can support families... companies producing food that are successful can meet domestic demand and export the product to countries that need food too... everyone needs food... nobody needs hedge funds...

Trumpistan broke the deal. Maybe Russia and Iran should go ahead and make some deals: Su-30, S-400, Pantsir, Iskander...

And production of Su-30s in Iran will promote stability and peace in the region as it supplies these aircraft to Iraq and Syria and itself... hahahaha...

Garry , They would stop Titanium supply to US because this is big business for Russia and same goes for space co-operation this is big money earner and job provider in RUssia so its like trying to cut the branch you are sitting on  . This has been stated even at the official level.

EDIT: Wow, Google Translate app's camera translator... thing seems to work really well.

According to Vitrenko, the current contract does not meet European conditions. The head of Naftogaz also threatened that if Russia did not cease to provide Gazprom with exclusive conditions for the transit of gas through Ukraine, then the Ukrainian company has the opportunity to obtain compensation of ten billion dollars due to the lack of transit after 2019.
