Re: Photos/Video-Russia Threatens US of Military Strike Over Missile Defence
Old simmering resentments return to the surface. Both sides have a lot to do with the renewal of returning to the Cold War attitudes.
Putin is behind this on the Russian side. He's already stated publicly he would be doing so as he is still trying to lay down unrest over his re-election and the issues of rigged elections. President Dmitry Medvedev took Putin's place as president with his blessing while Putin took the second from top government position when his time ran out and he could no longer run. Now that he is again back in office he needs a diversion to distract the home folk from his return to power and the issues it's raised. The citizens of Russia are concerned with continuing government corruption that was so rampant during his previous terms.
Nor is the US innocent in all this. What is termed the neo-cons are looking for the same sorts of distraction during an election year as Putin. The group termed neo-cons were largely responsible for stirring up the populace to support G. Bush's war. While Bush is no longer president, the neo-cons that performed these actions are still in office. They are looking for an excuse. An excuse to go to war with Iran and an excuse to divert the country's attentions from a lack luster presidential candidate plus a poorly preforming economy.
This is not a formula that any sane person wants to see. It's an insane game of chicken with deadly results.
