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:
Don’t believe it. Our own government has a plan to cut our power and blame it on another country so Obama can call martial law. If it happens we all need to know the truth about who is behind it.
It is the elite behind this new world order that we need to take down. They cause most of the world’s troubles. We know they have committed crimes against humanity. We need to charge them, attach their assets, and use their assets to pay on our national debt. They are the reason for our problems.
Linda Hester Walker. I totally agree. The whole world would need to unite against them.
BS
They probably ARE a bigger threat to liberal America! The Russians are gaining strength and morality, while we loose both!
News outlets are ignoring the fact that Obama was quick to mock Palin and Romney for suggesting that we need to keep an eye on Russia..
Bull
wake up Pantagon.
Another way to divert attention away from our problems with MUSLIM COUNTRIES!
If the Moron in the White House would have some MIlitary Advisors that he would listen to instead of all rabble rousers, he might know the truth. If he focused on security instead of promoting social dependency and racial division we would all be better off. Thank God his term is about ready to expire.
