Russians to dismantle Vietnam Cuba bases amid military pullback
Moscow plans to close its radar station in Lourdes Cuba and a Navy support base in Cam Ranh Bay Vietnam to save money for the home defense, with pullout from Vietnam to start January 1. President Putin chaired a stormy Defense Ministry meeting as Russia plans to spend nearly $1 billion more on weapons this year. Bush welcomed the move as proof the Cold War is over. Kvashnin said Cuba base saves at least $200 million yearly in rent and salaries, funding satellites and radars. Vietnam base costs cover building and arming a modern nuclear submarine program.

Historian Leon Schirmann urges a 1917 death sentence review for Mata Hari, arguing French officials falsified evidence and used her as a wartime scapegoat. The effort, filed with the Justice Ministry in the Netherlands and Mata Hari’s hometown of Leeuwarden, seeks to reevaluate her execution.
