But look on the bright side, Russia: At least it saved passengers from foolishly getting on a plane in Russia, the airworthiness of which is dubious at best these days.

Also probably saved some pollution.

Good point, though I somehow suspect that isn't a major Russian priority in general.

Rich people in US fly private....

Fuck Russia but wtf is this even supposed to mean?

Russia is a petrostate the shaky economy of which is notoriously reliant on keeping oil and gas flowing. I have no idea why you're bringing the US into this - I certainly didn't.

US is number 1 oil producer and exporter?
