The NY Slimes appears surprised by this, that is funny...

When push comes to shove cronyism, wealth and power knows no borders...

You'd expect a bunch of ComIntern progressive saps at the Old Grey Hag to be better at spinning this story...

I figured it would be beneath Putin's ego to buy from someone else. He apparently doesn't have confidence in Russia's technology to build ships.

I would buy ships from the Polish Navy before I touch any Rooskie-made disaster!

Especially anything more complicated than a destroyer!

Putin's qwest to rebuild the Old Empire trumps the embarassment of buying other peoples war machines...
