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:
Yep! I don’t fear Putin. I fear the real enemy to America, Obama! A Russian takeover would be pleasant compared to Obama’s longed for Islamic takeover! I wish Putin would allow American refugees to come until our elections are over. And allow us to stay if they rig it for Hillary to win!
The KGB was the Soviet intelligence agency/ secret police. Do you really think the best interests of the world are his first priority? Thats what it means to me. I would say the same if a former CIA head was our president. Just saying.
Putin is the Only World Leader Fighting Against Zionist Israel!
Has the Pentagon lost its collective mind under the disease of Obama? Russia is a ‘bigger’ threat but not the most immediate.
These guys in the pentagon are so afraid of Obama that everything that comes out of their mouth is pure garbage.
I preffer russia than cursed muslim
What drugs does this guy on
Sheron Hilliker Edge.. I know Obama is a traitor . ISIS is a threat no doubt about it. Obama wants to disarm America so Islam can take over. That won’t happen. Too many good Americans will open their eyes before it gets that far. As far as Russia…Put in is a con artist. Yes he’s warned us about terrorist and he’s been right. But he’d still like to own us. Obama is about to let China own us by all the money he keeps borrowing from them. My wife is from Ukraine and for the first 31 years of her life she was behind the Iron Curtin. She knows the Russian ways and said Put in is trying to look good to the world to bring his popularity up. He’s turning the Russian people against America just like they did in the Cold War. In the long term…Russia will be a bigger threat than ISIS. Not in the next couple of years but it will develop into another Cold War. They are trying to rebuild their military now. Our advantage….that Obama is trying to take away…is that we can afford to build our military. Russia is in very bad shape economically. The fight in Ukraine and Syria is draining them. Syria is paying some of the Russian bill but not enough.
I am a retired Marine. I’ve worked across the boarder from Soviet troops before. I’ve met and talked to many of them since retirement. Put in is trying to bring Russia on even keel with America as far as military might. He might be able to but he won’t be able to maintain his forces without help. It cost too much and is taking away from the Russian people. They have had a small taste of democracy and liked it. Now Putin is trying to make America look like the bad guys on the block. With Obama in office he’s succeeding. Obama is a total disgrace to America and the world. He’s set our race relations back 30 years and almost crippled our military and police forces.
I’m awake. Just see different things in different light. Don’t trust Putin or Obama.
As weak as we are I think all are enemies are a threat
