Russian relations to worsen

[James Farmelant]

Clearly one likely consequence of NATO's war against
Yugoslavia has been the strengthening of Russia's nationalists.
Ljunggren's piece suggests that fears that Russia may start
rearming are exaggerated because of strong fiscal
constraints.  However, may not rearmanent provide a way
out of Russia's economic crisis, not unlike the way rearming
helped Germany out of the Great Depression in the 1930s and
the way that the outbreak of WW II pulled the US out of the
Depression?
