You know, you keep saying things like this, when what you're really

Surely US stole some from Russia too,

Such as...?

We got a lot of defectors, but they mostly just gave us copies of the
stuff the Soviets had been stealing from us in the first place.

but the bulk of stolen technology and top
notch scientists were German.

Only in some fields, and since you haven't noticed, that was about 60
years ago. But I guess you're like Arndt, and are still living in the
past.

Of course, the Soviets got a pretty large amount of technology from the
German programs, and that resulted in pretty much *every* technical
triumph by the Soviet Union for the next 40 years.

The US, on the other hand, has gone on to lead the world in a lot of
other fields, from electronics to biology to computer software to...
well, pretty much everything, when you get right down to it.

If you cannot produce you must steal.

So we're back to Russia again. Stolen nuclear tech (from the US),
stolen computer and electronic tech (from the US), et cetera. Did the
Soviet Union ever actually invent *anything* worthwhile? They were good
at making propaganda, though ("Russian equipment is going to beat the US
Real Soon Now!").

Meanwhile, on the science side, you guys had Lysenko.

And Chernobyl.

And Chelyabinsk-50.

Tell us again about that incredible Russian scientific and engineering
skill...
