America was good enough to make a small compact lighter weight nuclear weapon. The Russians still had these big clunky heavy ones, so they had to build the big boosters in the arm's war, so now all of the sudden Russia could take off the shelf and put into orbit much heavier things than we could, so that's why they had the original leadership.

We are looking with interest at that proposal. It is a proposal in which enrichment would be done outside, in Russia, but at the moment no agreement has been reached between Russia and Iran.

We are looking to expand in Russia but it will probably be through greenfield expansion.

We are at the start of the 21st century and there are many risks in the world and we think that collaboration between Russia and the Vatican corresponds to the common good,

Many of our fundamental designs came from Russia ... and they brought to the technology a high degree of durability.

Many so-called emerging markets have long since emerged. Russia now has an investment-grade credit rating and with oil where it is right now, probably more money in the bank than the U.S.

It was very depressing to realize that, when looking around for regimes that have systematically corrupted science within the past century or so, three stood out quite distinctly, head and shoulders above the rest of the herd: Hitler’s Germany, Stalin’s Russia, and Bush’s America. At times when working on the three relevant chapters, I had to remind myself which chapter was the one in front of me: the parallels between the three regimes, in terms of their vigorous attempts to trample honest science underfoot, are as horrifically close as that.
