NEW YORK â" Authorities say they've charged 11 members of a Russian military procurement network, a Texas-based company and others with illegally exporting high-tech microelectronics from the United States to Russian military and intelligence agencies.
A federal indictment was unsealed Wednesday in Brooklyn.
The microelectronics are subject to strict government controls. Authorities say they could have a wide range of military uses, including radar and surveillance systems, weapons guidance systems and detonation triggers.

My family is from England originally and we call ourselves Americans because we were all born in America.

Answer by bad girl
You ask this two days after St. Patrick's Day and with Cinco de Mayo rapidly approaching. The Columbus Day parade down 5th Ave. in NYC is probably one of the largest parades, ever. As a first generation American I still have warm feelings for Scotland. I have visited the "old country" three times and if wasn't so cold and wet I would love to be there for three or four months every year. Americans should stop with the hyphenation of their origins, born in the USA-you are an American, nothing else.
Answer by Ou812 The Hate U Created
No, never. They don't even call themselves Irish American, Italian-American or Romanian American. -I have known a lot of foreign born citizens in my life and NOT ONCE did I hear them ever say "I'm going home". I was just talking to a Russian a couple of weeks ago and asked him just that. He has been here since after he got out of the Soviet Army and calls this HOME. - he had a really interesting take on Afghanistan, especially since he was there in the 80's driving a tank. Last year I asked the same thing to a Albanian....well, I called him a Albanian. He corrected me. Again with a ??? crap? what country was it? He was bragging how he made a killing on his loft...Montenegro! somewhere? The ONLY people who do what you're talking about are neeguroo's. It's always "the Muthaland!" and I'm strong Black and Proud Affurkan!!! -I even read in the comments section of some article where someone found $ 50,000. Some IDIOT said, in the comments, "imma gonna move to the motherland and be a real african! if I were to lay my hands on that". No sh!t. It was so stupid it's stuck with me this whole time.
