Cohen is generally known as Putin's apologist. Read his article and you can easily see why.
Why are we purchasing Titanium (a strategic metal) from Russia / Putin?? Same goes for rocket engine assemblies?? At least a half dozen countries not including China can supply our Titanium needs as well as Russia - they are all friendlier. Australia blows Russia away in terms of reserves (as does China, India, Brazil, South Africa, Madagascar, Canada, etc.). The rocket engines we can do for ourselves. I suspect both of these have their genesis in trying to bring Russia into the Western fold some time after the fall of the empire. I see no reason to continue these relationships so long as Putin is running the show. Cohen uses this as a reason not to piss of Putin.
Skidmark is claiming we are going back to the moon (yea, right, all he has to do is say it and we have Faux Nation claiming it has already happened and the mainstream media refused to cover it so as not to give Orange Duce the glory). I guess we will use Russian rocket engines.
