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:
IMPEACH OBAMA.
If it wasn’t Hussein talking to Putin it would be fine. You send a$#%&!@*President to talk with a very defensible leader and Obama acts like an$#%&!@*as he always does, he does not represent me he represents himself and the pigs that are following him into the ocean.
Pentagon is a bigger threat then Russia and Isis as our Congress and president have lost touch with ethic integrity morals and decency , I pray for each one as this is what made our country great , I pray that someday this will be back in America as this is of value ,not selling your position in government to the highest bidder !!!
I wouldn’t pick on Putin if I were Obama. Putin woll stpmp his$#%&!@*
Really???? I think America feels like Putin is a bigger ally to America than Obama is
Uh, yeah, AND China. Not that ISIS isn’t a problem, but for the US Russian, China, Iran and maybe the nutjob in North Korea are more of a concern. Putin wants looking to get back to good old USSR glory, and China has aspirations
WE GOT YOUR NUMBER PENTAGON! WHY DO YOU LET AN INCOMPETENT COMMANDER IN CHIEF CONTINUE TO COMPROMISE OUR NATIONAL SECURITY???????????????? COULD IT BE TREASON?
This is true Cece .
REALLY !!! and they just saw that now !! dumbass government
Um folks. It’s been reported that China and Russia are well aware of how sensitive our electrical grid is to EMP attack. They have the capability to put us back into tthe darkages. Literally. Putin does not play. He calculates then acts. Our leader capitulates and apologizes. Putin is a far greater threat than being reported.
