“Why is that valid? “
In my view, and I thought I explained it in my posts, it’s valid because a Cold war is a valid tactic.
A cold war is a proxy for a hot one.
Interventions like the Ukraine are the biggest part of what a cold war is.
There are only two alternatives, and one of those is impossible now, but it’s always being worked on anyway.
Total peace or total war.
Both sides would like peace, but there is always some within each government who would do everything possible to screw it up.
So the best alternative is proxy wars.
Peace is what happens when one side overwhelmingly defeats or annihilates the other.
Thanks for the reply. The question really is - why Putin’s Russia? Our economy is now built on fake money so we can’t afford another Cold War. Are we sure Putin has the same intentions as his Soviet predecessors? Do you trust Obama to kick this off?
