And the headline is distorted in that none called for a return to the Cold War.
Using the term wistfully look back is weird, butbwhat he said, below, is true and makes sense.

“I look back wistfully at the Cold War,” Inhofe said Thursday at a breakfast meeting with reporters. “There were two superpowers, they knew what we had, we knew what they had, mutually assured destruction meant something. It doesn’t mean anything anymore. Now we have these people who are not rational, not logical, they’re nuts.”
The Obama administration’s foreign policy is no longer based on predictable calculations of actions and reactions by rational actors, he said. Now the administration is depending on the promises of actors from enemy countries to maintain world stability, which is dangerous, according to Inhhofe.
“In this administration, we trust all these people,” he said, referring to the leaders in Russia, China, and North Korea. “It’s a real scary situation and we kid ourselves when we think we can trust them.”
As far as the quotes go, I agree.
Obama’s foreign policy attitude on the subject is a totally and completly Marxist dictum, that when it comes to America as a superpower - it should not be. It’s a retreat.
