| "How can we reform our Army when we have not defined the threats it must deal with?" says Mr. Dvorkin. "We must first identify our national interests, then we'll know who our enemies might be."
The threat to that is from those billion Chinese just South of you, who must be eyeing your very sparsely populated country with some envy. Remember Hitler's old term, lebensraum? Well, that's what the Chinese need. And that's what you have. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure this out, Vladimir. The Chinese have been breeding a generation with a huge surplus of males. That generation is approaching adulthood. Soon, China will be able to field a million men -- men they don't even need; men they can spend as cannon-fodder and not even miss. You figure they're going to invade India? I think it's you. |
Lemme help you out here, Vladimir. Your national interest is to maintain Russia's territorial integrity, so that you can someday make use of all the mineral riches your country has in abundance.
