Bobby - Don't know if you read this. Alexander Lebed creates an extremely scary picture of conditions in Russia: Russia is ripe for a military coup. So says a soldier who is one of the most popular men in the country. "The politicians treat ordinary people as garbage" forbes.com Some excerpts: >>The so-called generals needed a big war somewhere so that a large amount of armor could be destroyed and conveniently written off. When the Western Army Group was demobilized, Pavel Grachev [former defense minister] and Matvei P. Burlakov [commander of the Western Army Group] stole 1,600 tanks and sold them on the black market-to Croatia, Serbia and elsewhere. The correspondent Dmitri Kholodov came close to uncovering this, but he was killed. That's why the generals attacked the city of Grozny with columns of tanks without infantry cover. A tank in a city is like an elephant in a pit. A kid can throw gasoline down on it, throw down a cigarette and the tank burns. ...Since 1945 the Soviet Union participated in 52 wars...The globe is seeded with our corpses. But not once has the government made an effort to rehabilitate the men coming back from the fighting... Russia has a huge number of people full of anger and pain, intent on destruction, violence and revenge.<<
