They are corrupt. Next time Russia will colapse and ask for food aid (see Bush Legs 1990), we should exchange it for nukes. Food for nukes, sounds sweet.

Russians now pay a third or less what you are probably currently paying for eggs.
I don't mind paying a little more for my eggs, personally, if I get to enjoy living in an actual civilization as a bonus.

Now do it as a fraction of real disposable income.

(You're not wrong. American eggs are pricey [1]. But they'll always be pricey relative to Russia's simply because the dollar is strong.)

I always wondered about the bush legs were there given to Russia for free? Or were they sold to Russia for cheap? Are there any documents about the numbers online?
They were being imported and paid for. It's funny that this is being considered as "help".
someone please chime in, if im totally off base, but i have developed the impression that, if you keep all the wealth your economy generates and dont pay down your debts, you get reduced credit rating from world bank.

"helping" other nations is one way of spreading wealth, to those in need, with incumbency to pay it forward.

please be gentle.

AS long as the nukes don't go to the US.
