The mentioned article shows an extremely ignorant, uneducated, and overbearing-with-no-reason-for-that man.

I would read a similar Anti-American article in some marginal and widely unknown Russian newspaper.

The fact that you print it in your magazine says that America is really in a cul-de-sac situation at the moment.

Why don't you try to get out of it without throwing dirt at others?

I've read Wittman article with rather mixed feelings. If nothing else the technical illiteracy of the author is rather amusing. I am referring to this extract: "Next the Russians have pulled together their entire operationally capable force of strategic bombers -- fourteen 1950s era turboprop-driven Tupolev-95's (aka "Bear") and are rushing them to and fro in the U.S. and UK airspace like a bunch of street toughs taunting the police. Big mistake. These cops are all heavily armed with the latest modern weapons and are quite combat ready and experienced -- which the Russians certainly are not. "
