According to recent comments by the Secretary of Defense, the Cold War may very well be revived within our lifetime.
After the collapse of communism in 1991, many believed that the Russian threat was no more. As the threat from the Middle East increased and culminated in the attacks of September 11th, 2001, the focus shifted to the more nebulous threat of Islamic terrorism. However, it seems the Pentagon is getting ready to change that focus again.
Speaking at a press conference, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter provided a list of challenges that the US will need to respond to in the near future. Topping the list was not ISIS or Al Qaeda, but Russia, followed by China, North Korea, Iran, and ending with terrorism.
Carter’s numbering will likely prove controversial. Some will agree that Russia needs to be contained in light of it’s actions in Ukraine, while others may contend that the US should concentrate on defeating ISIS and it’s fellow jihadist groups.
Watch Carter’s statement on the next page:
BS
Hahahahaha
Agreed, and China.
BULL S**T
Just another attempt to divert our attention from our failure of a president.
That’s because Russia is a threat to ISIS, and Obama’s plans to use them in the Muslim Brotherhood’s quest for a WORLD ISLAMIST CALIPHATE.
Thank you! Putin is actually at war with Isis. And sadly I believe we are on their side. Not we the people, but our government. Putin isn’t allowing his country to be taken over by Islam and that makes our leaders mad because he isn’t on board with their globalization goals! It’s a nightmare. Putin warns the American people to keep their guns and says our government is the leaders of Isis and I believe him.
Russia is the only reason we are not neck deep in a New World Communist Order right now.
I used to be afraid of Putin but not these days! I’m afraid of our own government!
Then have your Muzzy POTUS quit pissing them off. Putin endorsed trump for president, let’s mend these ties.
