  1. Pretty dumb move from the Russian government

    Even USSR had it’s limits when it came to it’s top scientists(ex Andrei Sakharov).

  2. The missiles totally worked and totally destroyed that Patriot system but for totally unrelated reasons our engineers who made the missiles are treasonous scum who didn’t deliver what they promised.

  3. Among the most serious accusations is that the scientists didn’t make the kinzhal pointy enough (as instructed by Putin).

  4. Paywall removed: https://12ft.io/proxy?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.reuters.com%2Fworld%2Feurope%2Fkremlin-says-three-scientists-face-very-serious-accusations-treason-case-2023-05-17%2F%3Futm_source%3Dreddit.com

    TLDR: Three Russian academics who have worked on hypersonic missile technology face “very serious accusations” in a treason investigation that has spread alarm through Russia’s scientific community. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said he was aware of an open letter from Siberian scientists in defense of the men, but that the case was a matter for the security services

  5. The scene from “The dictator” where aladeen had his scientist executed because the rocket wasn’t pointy enough basically sums it up. Putin probably got herpes as well.

  6. Nice work putler

    Remember when Stalin had a stroke?

    Remember when no doctor was around to treat him because all were either dead, deported or too scared to help?

    Do you remember? I hope so, because it will soon become relevant

  7. I mean, even if your scientist didn’t build the weapon you asked for, surely you would keep them and incentivize, or even force them as despicable as it sounds, them to build the weapon you asked for instead of jailing them ?

    They really want to lose this war, don’t they ?
