Looks like ol’ Vladimir Putin wants to resurrect the Cold War. This doesn’t surprise me, as the Soviets said all along that the way they would win the Cold War would be to lull the U.S. into a complacency and strike with an all-out attack that would be completely unexpected. What amazes me is that Putin can make it obvious that he wants to continue this Soviet-era policy, and the President and the Media in the U.S. chooses to look the other way. I fear that arms reduction treaties that are obeyed by the U.S., but not the Russians will resume. Before we know it, we’ll be left without a way to defend ourselves from hostile states and those hostile states will know it. Don’t let the “War on Terror” distract you from what else is going on in the world. The U.S. still has friends in the world, but Russia is not one of them, and they never were.
