Putin freezes arms treaty commitment


Scotsman.com News - Latest News - Putin freezes arms treaty commitment

A curious reversal — now the US is the universally hated and militarily stretched empire (ironically, in Afghanistan) … and Putin seems to be betting that, like the USSR in the 80s, the US can’t afford an arms race. The reason we can't afford one?...we're paying for their arms by staying reliant on their oil. (see story above to see how flush they are with petrodollars)
