Technically trading a rock for a stick is trade.
I guess we've moved beyond the "capitalistic free trade" we started from. Or are you talking those two other words back now?

I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at. It's trade between various state capitalist enterprises. Since the current doctrine is free trade I don't see a problem with making the right purchase for the situation just because it's from the "rooskies".

To be clear
Free trade means international trade free from obstructionism that is biased toward a partner's nationalistic interests. That could be construed to include obstructionism of an nationalistic/ideological bent.

So you're saying that the US buying helicopters, with tax payer money, from russia, is free from obstructionism?
Let me see you break into that line of business. go ahead, I dare you.
BTW, Free trade means Free trade. It's one of the least confusing phrases spoken, but, it's non existent, like the tooth fairy.
