Rebirth of cold war is a lot of nonsense
Nonsense? Then will anyone answer these questions:
1) If Russia has embraced democracy, capitalism, and shines peace throughout, then why has it openly allied itself with the greatest communist power on Earth, China? China and Russia have always been historical enemies. Since the past few years, they have been allied. Why would Russia do that?
2) If Russia is so happy and in love with the West, then why is Russia behind financing many of the rogue states and terrorist organizations in the world? Iraq... Iran... the list goes on and on.
It is not my contention that the Cold War is resuming, it is that the Cold War never ended. The threats from terrorist organizations in the Middle East is being directly fueled, technology wise and money wise, through Russia. The 'rogue states' that the terror war focuses on are merely pawns, of some form it seems, of Russia and China.
I've been reading Nyquist for years and thought he was nuts. Ever since the 'power grab' lately, we cannot look at the world with false assumptions. Nyquist's sources come primarily from former KGB operatives such as Golistyn.
It is wishful thinking of many of those in the West who criticize Putin. They hope that Muslims in Russia can be used the same way as Bosnian and Albanian Muslims were used against Serbs. So the play humanitarian atrocities script.
To put a favorable spin on their motives - their mind is frozen in the time of Cold War and they need to fight Soviet Union.
