I know your propaganda TV likes to show you how awful it is in America with people lining up for free food during a pandemic. But ask yourself if this is so bad that people can just go get free food to feed their family when their jobs are on hold during virus lockdowns. Do those people in Texas look like they are nearly dead

Yes I'm sure it will enjoy all of the commercial success of the Superjet 100 too. If they are lucky.

...so are you maybe aware of what their Break-Even point is on this project or on the Superjet?? Do you think they would embark in a project like that without being reasonably sure if they can cover their cost?? Do you think they ever thought about getting even remotely close to the sales number of a Boeing or an Airbus competitor?? Do you think they wake up in the morning and build a plane like that with no planning??

It's about being self reliant. Why depend on your potential enemies for the things you need. Independence is stength. I think you better worry about Boeing and airbus when COMAC gets things moving.

When we were in the Soviet Union, we completely covered our needs with our own aircraft. Developing your own aircrafts is the right way to go. And the point is probably even in the commercial success in foreign markets, but the fact that Russian aviation will no longer depend on the whims of the United States and Europe in the form of "sanctions". With this, both Boeing and Airbus shoot themselves in the his own foot. Aeroflot has already reduced orders from Boeing and Airbus last year, due to receiving 10 ssj and waiting for MC-21. With the release of the MC-21, Russia will have an almost complete line of aircraft. And if in some unthinkable way a miracle happens and Putin suddenly bans the purchase of foreign aircraft, then I think that both Boeing and Airbus will not be very happy about it.

So why didn't they just give them money for food? Your propaganda told us that people began to receive even more money, because they are taken care of and money is almost dropped from helicopters in bundles and packages. So why are they not just given money to feed hungry children , but forced to stand humbly in multi-kilometer queues for free soup?

There's a disaster unfolding as we speak for children of the 1990s. The vast majority are the working poor, living paycheck to paycheck and in a state of feudalism. Upward mobility is an option of the few.

Covid only worsened the situation. The money being handed out was mostly given to the rich. Those kids are paying for their basics with credit cards. Crippling debt is their future.

It's not good for them.
