I've read more reassuring news:
Russia needs a "leap forward" to rejuvenate its sprawling defense industry, President Vladimir Putin said on Friday, harkening back to the ambitious industrialization carried out by Soviet dictator Josef Stalin in the run-up to World War Two.
"We should carry out the same powerful, all-embracing leap forward in modernization of the defense industry as the one carried out in the 1930s," Putin told his Security Council, without mentioning Stalin by name.
Russia has a completely different notion of "reset," it seems.
Let's work on REFORPOL. And stop thinking that keeping the Army in Europe is a relic of the past rather than a guarantee for the future that has yet to unfold.
Things of the past have a disturbing habit of rising from the dead.
