Russia to Comprehensively Rearm

It looks like the Obama administrations desire to hit the reset button with the Russians worked; sort of (Berman Post: "Reset Button" Translation 'Issue'). Unfortunately, it seems that they have reset to the beginning or middle of the Cold War.

A few days ago we reported that the Russians may start using Cuba and Venezuela to base strategic bombers (Berman Post: Russia May Base Strategic Bombers in Cuba And Venezuela). Now Dmitry Medvedev (Russia's President) has announced a plan for a comprehensive military rearmament over the next two years. Special focus will be given to their nuclear weapons.
