2. That's a question best answered with a question...

Did World War One ever actually end?

5. No

just different means......political, economic etc., rather than military

Today Poland invoked article 4 of NATO.........that being convening the NATO council as they feel threatened by current events. We are quick returning to an active Cold War........it's always been there since 91.......just running in the background.

4. Yes, yes it did

and for a few years we were it. Now we are seeing the emergence of a new multi polar world.

6. no. we had the opportunity to end it and decided to do our best to fuck over Russia instead.

Thus guaranteeing that if and when Russia recovered from the post collapse economic disaster it would do so with deep antipathy toward the US.

7. Yes.

We had a "cold war" with the Soviet Union. We won what will probably prove to be a Pyrrhic victory. That's not to say we don't have ongoing "cold wars" with any number of other states.

8. No.

It was just in a stage of detente. A relaxing of the tension. The nuclear bolts were still in the crossbows. I think Putin has been cranking up the tension for some time now.

9. I think there's a new Cold War dawning and it's over information technology.

Think about it - hackers can do far more damage to a country's infrastructure today with computers than anyone can with a gun.
