Default Russian Auto Bailout

The attached picture appears in today’s Wall Street Journal. The Russian government seems to be taking their auto industry in a different direction than ours.

I think driving a Russian race car would be the scariest thing to drive.

Americans are teaching Afghans to fly thiry-year-old Russian helicopters – that’s scary. It also shows that Russians can build good stuff.

I forgot who said it, but there's a quote some famous American soldier said during the cold war, it goes something like this:

"I don't fear Russia, I fear their Helicopters"
