Mikhail Krutikhin: “We are so predictable”

“Agatha Christie’s Miss Marple used to say: “Always assume the worst, and 99 percent of the time you will be right,” writes the orientalist and expert on the oil and gas market on her Facebook page.

“When Roscosmos began to sink one satellite after another in the ocean, I, of course, assumed that no satellites had spent the night there, but beautifully wrapped bricks were loaded into the launch vehicle. The budget could have been cut to where it was necessary to roll back how much, but then write everything off as an accident (“threw the cognac into the abyss”).

And now, when Russia is going to give the Syrians some kind of air defense systems free of charge ("bless you, Owl!"), it seems to me that they will put some kind of crap in there without filling, and write off the full cost - in the hope that the Israelis will they will gouge this “favorite” even before deployment to positions.

We are so predictable..."
