The New Cold War

The New Cold War
What will the “new cold war” mean for the “new world order”. The world’s hopes for peace were pretty much dashed when George Bush moved into the Whitehouse. Bill Clinton had spent 8 years making friends around the world, wiping out the budget deficit and spreading peace and good will. George Bush has spent his 8 years making enemies, blowing the budget and spreading war, jealousy and hatred.
There was no reason to be so insensitive to Russian national pride. Russia was trying to be a good or at least a better world citizen. The USA superior attitude destroyed all of that. There was and is no need for a missile defense system that does not work anyway. Until now there has been no need to expand NATO into the former Warsaw Pact. Now we need it in Georgia bad. The real competition is no longer missiles and warfare abilities. The new competition is energy. We are driving Russia from the Western camp to the Chinese camp. It may be a cold winter in Europe. If not this year, next year for sure.
I just hope the next “leader of the free world” will be less arrogant and more charismatic.
