This new "cold war" the US regime has declared on Russia is unnecessary mischievousness cooked by Washington over the events in Ukraine.
It's claiming Russian President Vladimir Putin is attempting to reconstitute the old Soviet Union-apparently using Putin's offhand remark it was unfortunate for the Soviet Union to collapse or words to that effect-is a pretext built on neo-con fantasy which is in control in Washington.
And now it's the state of affairs of neo-con inspired US policy. Everything is contrived, distorted, misrepresented even invented to conflate anything but the truth while the complicit corporate media gives its rendition that mirrors the state in its reporting on the events in Ukraine.
As I've said before on these pages, the US needs "enemies" and if real ones no longer exist, contrive new ones.
When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991 and "Communism" ceased to be the "enemy" there was an enemy vacuum. Then terror and terrorism was conveniently contrived as the new mortal enemy and with 9/11 Osama bin Laden became the new face of evil and voila a new "enemy" was born.

opednews.com seems to specialize in printing the works of Putin-humpers.
Lefcourt must be gunning for a medal from Vladdy himself.

(28,498 posts)First we had the "Anarchist" appearing in mid-19th century America, then the "Communist" after WWII until the fall of the Berlin Wall. Now we have the "Terrorist" following the first WTC bombing.
"...ists" have provided opportunities for the Plutocracy to "create wealth" for themselves for some time in this country.

Oddly, that's what Russia is pushing right now.
Of course, we have plenty of religious based -ists trying to rule parts of the world, too.
Yeah, we might suck, but we're not as bad as we think we are.
