Only following western examples of course, selling helicopters to apartheid South Africa, Panzers to Saudi Arabia (oil and dollars), Panzers, helicopters and surveillance technology to Turkey, for use against the Kurds, chemical plants to Irak and Libya for oil (US will later bomb them to pieces, anyway), etc. All made in Germany quality goods, and deals of the 1980s. :-(, MNI

Maybe, but as a side effect, isn't it better to sell Polish helicopters, or Slowakian firearms, or Czech explosives, for Western currencies than for the weak Ruble ? "" Mybe so, but regardless of what Czechs and Poles see in NATO, us leaving our lives in the shadow of the fear that Russians would break-in through the Fulda Gap, prefer to have them on our side. I spent a my a few years of my life travelling south of Volga, and I can tell you that I know Russians, better than they know themselves!(I am also modest!gg) I don't think the "Threat" is behind us. It has nothing to do with ideology, it is simply the Bolshoi Igra being played now, the same way it was in 1850's in Pamir. Russian determiantion to assert themselves as a superpower will clash with the interest of the Western Powers, sooner or later, as it has in the past. We need to draw circle arround them! They can push to the East as far as Nakhoda but not to the West!
