Notes: Actually Laika died while in space so she wouldn’t be alive for America to “borrow”, which could be a reference to it not being announced that she died in space until decades later, so Russia is either lying and is making excuses for why America cant see her (most probable) or he doesn’t know himself that she’s already dead… (or the writers of this game didn’t know she died in space but i feel like they would have known if they knew the other names Laika was called too) Next they mention Belka and Strelka who actually made it back to earth alive, and Strelka did actually have puppies! Russia mentioning wanting to give America a puppy is probably a reference to one of Stelkas’s puppies called Pushinka being given to John F Kennedy which also had puppies of her own which JFK called “pupniks”. Belka and Stelka were taxidermied and are on display at the Museum of Cosmonautics in Russia today
