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.

Bryce Schneider the head of the CIA is a Muslim convert and The Ovomit has been a Kenyan Muslim his entire life….
Go away you loon! Putin is fighting Isis and is in partnership with Bibi! They are on the same side and you are not keeping up! I am so sick of people like you that don’t blame Islam or terrorists? You blame Israel instead when we all know that terrorists hate Israel and they have Israeli’s murdered on a regular basis by Muslims!
You got to be kidding me how many years did take to become that stupid . I know you have been working on it all your life and you are finally getting there stupid is as stupid does
They love the muslims thats why.
Russia is a threat to the new world order. Screw the U.N.
F**k obama$#%&!@*congress$#%&!@*the government for fucking all of us…can lick my fat 10″er….
Kisses Muslims asses since Obama got in the White House
Why would we believe you?
I agree with what you are saying. I’m just saying that I trust Putin more than Obama and that a Russian takeover doesn’t sound nearly as horrific as Obama’s Islamic takeover. I wouldn’t trust Putin to babysit my kids or anything, but I do respect that he’s keeping his people safe, while Merkel, Obama and that PM of Canada are all determined to force as many of their refugees on us as possible! Europe may be too far gone to ever recover now. And I honesty believe that I would feel safer living under Putins reign than I do Obama’s reign. The world sees Obama as bad now, because he is. Putin isn’t lying about that. Obama has been the worst mistake America has ever made! I thought by your comment that you were pointing out that Putin is our real threat, like an Obama lover would! They still claim that he’s a good Christian and trying his best to do right by America! Smh!
