Important context is that, in 2004, Bush saw Putin as a likeminded ally in the war on terror. His administration encouraged hundreds of companies to buy up Russian assets and factories, believing economic integration would cement peace. Alcoa was one such company. — PolitiTweet.org

The company didn't seek out Russian military work. Rather, this was Moscow's condition for it to, in 2004, purchase a massive factory in Russia, which mostly produces basic commercial/industrial goods. The plant also had some machines that can make advanced aerospace materials. — PolitiTweet.org

But Alcoa's plant came with machines that constitute "critical defense infrastructure," industry analysts told me, by making essential aerospace materials. Like it or not, a major U.S. company now owned an essential node in Russia's military production – and that came with terms. — PolitiTweet.org
