re: #123 Decatur Deb
It’s not ended.
I disagree. The Cold War in the sense of a worldwide ideological struggle, is dead and buried.
Putin, however, is out to re-establish the Russian Empire, i.e., to bring all the former Soviet Republics back into Russia’s direct or indirect political/economic control.
There is a degree of overlap, but it is a different focus, and using the term “New Cold War” is something I find misleading.
