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?

Yes and? I don't think the US have environmentalism as a priority right now either and for much the same reasons, but that wasn't the country being talked about in this thread.
