Who Ended The Cold War?

If you are a moron, you will say the Reagan did. He did not! He just happened to be the Pres when the end came around.

When the crash of the USSR came about everyone was dancing in the streets; it was the end of communism. Sorry, to inform but communism is still alive and well. But the end brought about one thing--the break up of the USSR into separate little countries. Some went with democracy, well a form of democracy but a far cry from real thing. Most of the Central Asian Republics still have an authoritarian government, they just hide it in the illusion of democracy. There are few others like Georgia that are not faring so well with democracy or even their neighbors. Silly silly people.

The Cold War was NEVER over, it just took a long overdue rest. IT has returned! Russia, without the drag of all those other little insignificant republics, is returning with a vengeance. It has started developing weapon systems again and selling arms on the world market. It has started, quietly, confronting the US on the world stage. Russia is employing all the tactics it used before in its dealing with the US and the world.

SO--merry xmas--the Cold War is heating up and the outcome will be something to behold! I find it amusing that the party that was at the helm when the USSR collapsed is the same party that is at the helm of the Russian resurgence. Two thumbs up, GOP! BTW, in Arabic countries two thumbs up means F*CK YOU! And I mean it!
