[Milsurplus] Cold War Nostalgia

[Mark K3MSB]

Hi Mike

Well, regardless of what one thought of the Russians, they were predictable
and exerted a stabilizing force in such unstable regions as the Middle
East. As the saying goes, it's better to deal with the devil you know than
the devil you don't.

Alas Babylon is a good read.
