Oh Medvedev, his quotes will be around long after he has gone. My personal favourite was recently saying that Russia was ready to take on the whole of NATO.

It's such trite. I know that I have no evidence to back this belief up, but the only weapon Russia hasn't used, which it has used in other countries is Chemical weapons. Now that won't be from the goodness of Putin's heart, I am pretty confident that someone has had a word and let him know that this would be a red line not to cross. To do so would bring repercussions that he couldn't take
 
And any short dated or obsolete kit that was planned for disposal or write-off needs to be deducted, for the purposes of this argument, from the value of US aid.
Agreed - that's another thing people keep missing. It isn't a case of just sending bundles of cash over to Ukraine. Often it is either hardware already paid for and being disposed of (in a 'useful' way) or often, money being spent in local factories (and employing local people) to produce systems...
 
Scary to consider he was both Prime Minister and President of Russia ... even if he was just Putin's puppet.
