The domineering Russian spirit didn't die with perestroika and glasnost. The notions of power didn't crumble with the Berlin wall, either. The Russian's intentions merely got put on hold due to financial considerations.
So they're back to their old tricks like drugging political dissidents in psychiatric hospitals and acting aggressively toward supposed friends. And, by Putin's pronouncement: Russia will dominate the military aircraft market, too.
I think I like poor Russians better.
