Why do Republicans want to start a new Cold War? For the political benefits of course...
Republicans benefited greatly from the first Cold War. They had the ability to silence debate using the House UnAmerican Activities Committee. They benefited from their stand on military weapons spending. They built political support by increasing fear of Communism and the Soviet Union. So the chance to revisit the Cold War based on events in Ukraine? Of course they will play it to the hilt.
