Thank you very much, Mr. Burt.
I'm thinking along the lines of Mr. Bezan with my questions as well, regarding Russia. You mentioned that they possess a growing arsenal of sophisticated weapons, and you mentioned naval rejuvenation. Your job is to accumulate information. My thinking is, can they keep this up, this proliferation? They've built their economy on oil. Oil is at $45 U.S. today. The Russian economy is not great.
Maybe there are some members of the committee who have a clear sense of this proliferation, but can you paint a picture for me of Russia five to 10 years ago, Russia today, and what you think Russia might look like in five to 10 years? I'd like to get a better understanding of what this proliferation looks like, has looked like, and what it might look like based on the fact that oil is $45 a barrel now.
