    Missile Defense

Technology has always found its greatest consumer in a nation's war and defense efforts. Since the last attempts at a "Star Wars" defense system, has technology changed considerably enough to make the latest Missile Defense initiatives more successful? Can such an application of science be successful? Is a militarized space inevitable, necessary or impossible?

No comment here on the average RU-person in the street's opinion re the Commercial Barons grabbing Russian Oil & Mineral resources for a 'song' in the chaos post the fall of the Berlin Wall.

If I were in Putin's place, if the shares of a national asset plunge enough - I'd print government money to purchase stock from "possessors in due course" and ordinary stockholders - without purchasing shares from people being charged. Within Russian traditions - I bet that would work - and would be supported for fairness. Would also be a good way to get strategic control where the Russian state needs effective control - and where fairness that can be explained to the Russian electorate is important.

Not that Putin would listen to me http://www.mrshowalter.net/PutinBriefing.html - but here's a place where it does make sense to give reasonable adjustements to "losers" - and allocate gains and losses between interests in a fair way that can be explained in the specific context involved.
