The military-industrial complex is a fraction if what it was in Eisenhowers day. Now its a very minor part of the US economy and power structure. This what happens when people just repeat slogans without having looked at the facts.

If these industries ended up in the hands of oligarchs, the various waves of “reform” in Russia have merely changed the cast of characters that make up these oligarchs.

That much is true. The first wave of oligarchs were more Neocon-friendly (as was Yeltsin). Putin replaced many of them with oligarchs loyal to himself.

Some interesting article from leftist sources.

The Harvard Boys Do Russia.

How 'shock therapy' created Russian oligarchs and paved the path for Putin.
