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 putin may be the one who helps save america from the evil in office who wants to murder americans
Amen
hussein and his murderous gang of half witt mobsters are americas biggest threat
Wont be Russia coming thru Will be United Nations troops This government already had new UN ambassador notify UN we give up little soverignity In other words let them patrol streets So foreign troops here before long to try disarm people before elections
Not according to Revelations !
It’s going to be more than just Russia ……
I am 61 i grew up with stop drop as kid And right now Putin has eased religous freedom Plus signed defense agreement with Israel Chk ur Bible Says when bear an lion lie down together Bear being Russia an Lion of dessert is Israel Been watching last few months whats going on in middle east
Reverting attention
Then the U.S. should stop poking a stick at Russia.
Exactly Obama is the threat to Russia, Putin is tired of the west overreach its authority and trying to take over the world. and is doing something about it.
WE DON’T BELIEVE ANYTHING YOU SAY. WE CAN THINK FOR OUR SELF AND ISIS WANTS TO DESTROY ALL WHO DON’T BELIEVE IN THEIR BS
