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.

liar
I DON’T BELIEVE THAT FOR ONE MOMENT !
Per Obama’s orders. Go Vladamir!!
I’d trust Putin before Obummr
Obama is part of the biggest problem
Debra Baker…I don’t know anything about Walmart being FEMA camps or any guillotine on military bases. Marshal law will be extremely hard for Obama to declare. Even if he did it would not be for the entire country. The military will only go so far. There are continueancies (sp) in place that will stop a run away government . The President can only order the Marines in any kind of action on American soil without Congress approval. And then only 90 days in which time Congress reviews the causes and can order a stand down of forces. The military will not go out and kill citizens on his order alone. I spoke to a lot of the men involved in the Jade exercise. They didn’t prestige equipment in Walmarts or anything like that. They did use some older Walmarts because they were large enough to park vehicles in and house troops.
I think there is a possibility of marshall law if the race trouble keeps going. And Obama is the main cause of that problem.
Ovomit BS.
I am just curious about something Mr. Secraetary of Defense, How far up your$#%&!@*does Obama need to reach to get your lips to move?
