Remember Bushs Missile Defense Shield in East Europe?
Either the cold war never ended or it's not the cold war anymore.
I'd say it's the second. The superpower game never ended but even with the sanctions, trade, travel and politics are not that locked. On the other hand there are those 2.0 war technologies like drones, trolls, cyber warfare...
- bitL 9y agoI think he wanted to use time when Russia was weak and disorganized to contain it. I was thinking that better would have been incorporating Russia to EU back then, but that's not something strong EU countries wanted (being outnumbered by Russians in EU governance) - historically Russia was always trying to become a part of Europe and Europe was always looking at those attempts nervously. I guess now that game is over, Russia seems to have decided it is no longer meaningful to aspire becoming a part of Europe and they will rather go with China, even if they really don't like each other that much. I don't think this is going to end well and we will see some major conflicts.
