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:
Yea they no like OB so they no likes us
True… But if Russia had our intrests in mind that have let him die.
Biggest threat to US freedom is not men hiding in caves in Middle East, wearing turbans, it’s men wearing suit and ties in Washington D.C.
Here we go! It’s going to start a conflict with Russia. How stupid are these library’s to pick a fight with another super power. I can’t wait to see the outcome of this. Time to get prepared for EMP strikes
LMFAO
The Obama Administration an the Socialist Liberal Democrats are the biggest threat to America an to our FREEDOM. GO TRUMP 2016
With a fuckface punk cowardly muslim$#%&!@*as president cuba is a threat ….north Korea. …iran ..
The entire world is a threat but the biggest threat to AMERICA is that punk$#%&!@*in the white house
Perhaps, but Isis is a big threat…history has verified that and if Russia feels we would be an ally in fighting that. they would woo us instead. They want to preserve their way of life as much as we do. Putin is no fool like Obama is. Putin knows the score with Isis. He also knows if they take over the USA….all is lost.
Ok
What’s the matter loser? Just trying to justify your trillion dollar defense budget?
