I'm not sure if going hungry is the right move in a capitalist economy. If anything, it causes a cut back in food production as the group of people who can pay for the goods stop their consumption thus causing farmers financial distress.

Russia appears more on the defensive than offensive.
There must have been an agreement on US withdrawal from Syria in return for Russia's non-involvement in Venezuela.
Their bigger long term problem is China which they are far more wary of than NATO.

Hope they are not reaching for pie in the sky.
Keep the requirements realistic so the project does not spend years trying to achieve a bar set too high.
All hopes are being pinned on top level performance of the engine in the airframe with zero margin given to design constraints. A red flag surely.
