Saw that this morning and wanted to bang my head up against the freaking wall Ya know many of us grew up under the ever constant threat of this. I was hopping that this was something my kids would never have to deal with. Now it looks like they will and honestly I think Putin is just insane enough to do something.

The curtain will go back up. It seems inevitable. I am surprised it hasn't happened yet. I am curious to see how China will play this time around.

There are people who believe that the Cold War never ended and that the Russians and Chinese have simply conned the gullible Americans into standing down. There is a lot of evidence pointing to the fact that they are not our friends, never have been, and we should be much more wary than we currently are.
