The unmanned craft was due to make a soft landing on the Moon's south pole, but failed after encountering problems as it moved into its pre-landing orbit.

It was Russia's first Moon mission in almost 50 years.

Russia has been racing to the Moon's south pole against India, whose Chandrayaan-3 spacecraft is scheduled to land on there next week.

No country has ever landed on the south pole before, although both the US and China have landed softly on the Moon's surface.

No report on whether or not Russia was attempting to use repurposed anti-ship missiles like the ones they use to attack schools and hospitals here on Earth.

I love how you didn’t deny it when I claimed that the evil gommunists were bad for taking away your mom’s slave plantation. If communism is so bad, why do 95% of people in China approve of the government, according to American pollsters?

    I didn't dignify the juvenile barb with a response. Take it how you like.

    The same reason 99.999% (there's a 0.001% margin of error) of North Koreans love the Kims.

    A combination of patriotism, indoctrination and fear. Talk to Chinese people sometime. In person, not on WeChat.

    On a racial, genetic level they are just too fucking stupid to understand that it would be better if the USA transformed China into Iraq, I agree.

    Do you really think that the USA has benevolent intentions for the Chinese people? That the USA is legitimately concerned about their rights? That it wants to do anything other than transform China into Libya?

    The US doesn't care about the Chinese people. There's no malice, there's no ill intention, they just don't care beyond the vague 'hope they find democracy someday' schtick. This whole geopolitical shadow war you worry about only exists in your adolescent head and the heads of your equally juvenile comrades.

    Go outside and try to be a contributing member of society. Maybe even meet a girl. Or a guy, if that's your thing.
