No, the world is currently less dangerous than the Cold War, and no, you do not have valid sources explaining that NATO is dissolving and that some NATO countries are going to form a military alliance with Russia, nor that Poland has no interest in the United States and is powerful enough to breakaway on it’s own, (it is just the opposite, they are screaming for our help and forward NATO bases in Eastern Europe) or that the small and limited Russian military of today is mightier than the Soviet military, etc, etc, etc, the nonsense just keeps pouring forth, and from your imagination.

No this is not imagination but reality. The world is far more dangerous as WMD (chem, bio, nuclear) technology can be much more easily manufactured and proliferated. This technology can get into the hands of radicals of any kind and cause bigger problems than you can possibly imagine. This is a threat condition that is far wider and more dangerous because it can reside in the hands of the many rather than the few like it did during the Cold War. The old alliances are not as strong as they once were and the world also teeters on economic collapse. The political/socio dynamic is volatile and unpredictable. The ability to destroy by nuclear weapons on a grand scale very much still exists on top of this. You sir are in denial of what is really happening and are a dinosaur in your way of thinking. Many politicians are pragmatic and will make adjustments(temporary) to deal with what they call the most imminent or dangerous threat. Just think about the formation of the Big Three (US, UK, USSR) during the Second World War. We were allies with our future enemy. Man has consistently done this throughout history and will continue to do so.
